COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Sectional Surface Condensers.
I, ELIMU NELSON of 11 Wall Street in the City, County, and State of New
York, United States of America, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to improvements in sectional surface condensers, and is
concerned with various details of such condensers, with a view to increasing the
efficiency, economizing space and making apparatus of this class more convenient
to handle and casier to repair.
One of the main objects of my improvement is to supply a sectional surface
condenser that will occupy a smaller space than the surface condensers now in
general use in sea-going and other steamers. At the same time, I provide means
whereby a large condensing surface is exposed, and whereby a high vacuum may
be maintained by returning the water of condensation to my air pump cool, and
to the boiler hot. This arrangement economizes fuel, and adds to the efficiency of
the apparatus. I also provide means whereby one or more sections of my condenser
may be cut out, either separately or together, as the case may require, while the
remaining sections can be used, and serve to a great extent the purposes of a
condenser, so that the engine may not be wholly deprived of means for condensing
the steam, even though some of the sections should be out of use. This permits a
damaged section, or sections, to be repaired while the engine is in operation. I
further provide means whereby one of the sections can be used either as a heating
section or a condensing section, as may be required. I further provide a receiver
for taking up the water of condensation after it has passed through the heating
section, and a safety branch, or overflow pipe above the receiver, the said overflow
pipe being connected with the pipe that passes the water of condensation from the
heating section into the receiver. By these means, as will appear hereinafter,
several important improvements are effected, among which is that of relieving the
air that the air pump has drawn from the condensing sections along with the water
of condensation, and also that of passing the water of condensation overboard,
should the boiler pump fail to work when the engine is in motion.
In carrying out my invention, I have devised certain novel details of construction,
one of which consists in giving a peculiar shape to the hoods of some of the
sections, as will be fully described hereinafter. Another is a bye-pass for the
steam and the water of condensation. Still another is what I call a safety-pipe,
for relieving the pressure on my first section, when for any reason the boiler pump
fails to act while the engine is at work. Still another consists in making the center
tubes larger than the surrounding tubes, the center tubes of the first three sections
being somewhat larger than that of the last, and somewhat smaller than the steam
exhaust pipe.
My invention also comprises other details of construction which will be fully set
forth in the Specification which follows:
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which
Fig. 1 is an elevation, partly sectional, of my sectional surface condenser ;
Fig. 2 is an end view of sections A, B, and C, with the hood removed;
Fig. 3 is a similar view of section D, and
Fig. 4 shows the cross sections of the center pipes of sections A, B, C, and D,
as compared with the cross sections of the steam exhaust pipe.
Referring to the drawings by letter, Z is the steam pipe, entering at Y with two
outlets, one of which passes through a valve, 1, and into the hood, a', on the end
of section A. The other is a bye-pass or branch, Z, which passes around the

page_text: section A. and into a two-way cross or coupling, T, beyond the said section A.
The cross or coupling, T, has two short horizontal pipes connected with it, one of
which enters through a valve, 3, the hood a², on the end of section A, and the
other of which enters through a valve, 4, the hood, on the end of section B.
Another bye-pass pipe 7, proceeds from the coupling, T, through the valve 5, and
is joined to a tee, s, which is set in between the corresponding hoods of sections B,
and C, of my condenser, and forms the coupling for the pipes S, and S', which
join the said sections. In the pipe Z is a valve, 2, and in the pipe S, is a valve, 6.
The connection between the hoods at the other extremity of section C, and the
corresponding hood on section D, is made by means of a short pipe, U, as shown in
the drawings. From the opposite hood of section D, a pipe, M, proceeds to an air
pump, P. Beyond the air pump is a check-valve, C2, in a pipe, E', which is joined
to a vertical pipe, E. The latter is connected, through a tee, with the pipe E³,
in which is a valve, 9. The pipe, E is connected through another tee with a
pipe, N, that leads directly into the cylinder of section A, and also with a pipe, X,
containing a valve, 13, the object of which pipe and valve will be explained herein-
after. At the opposite end of the cylinder of section A, a pipe, F, leads out,
and is branched so as to go through valve 10 into the pipe F, leading to the
receiver, K, or so as to go through pipe F2, and valve 14 to an exit, overboard or
elsewhere.
Returning to pipe E', we shall see that it is divided at the tee, so as to afford a
passage not only in the direction already described, but also through a horizontal
pipe, V, valves 8 and 17, and pipe II, overboard. Moreover, before reaching
the valve 17, a tee is inserted, which connects the pipe V, with a vertical pipe, Y,
which extends upward and is run into a tee in the pipe F2. The pipe Y contains
a valve 15.
Above the receiver, R, is led off a pipe, F³, which furnishes an exit overboard.
At the bottom of the receiver, a pipe, G, containing a valve, 16, is led off, and
downward, to the boiler pump, P. I place the boiler pump below the receiver, as
the water of condensation which passes into the receiver is hot, and the pump would
not raise it if it were situated above the receiver.
The sections A, B, C, and D, are made up of tubes, which are expanded into or
otherwise secured in the tube sheets. The number of tubes in sections A, B, and C,
is greater than in section D, for by the time the steam has reached the last named
section, it has become greatly condensed. If I were intending to use the different
sections in series, I should make them successively smaller, for the same reason.
But it will be remembered that I may cut out section A, or section B, or both, or
1 may use section A as a heating section, in which case the steam, coming in
contact with the surfaces, partly heated, will not be condensed to so great an
extent. In either case, it is necessary to make the first three sections of about the
same dimension.
The center pipe of sections A, B, and C, is somewhat smaller than the steam
exhaust pipe, Z, and somewhat larger than the center pipe, X, of section D.
Such being the construction and arrangement of the steam conducting
apparatus, it now remains to describe the water conducting apparatus, and this will
now be done.
The water enters a pipe K, which pipe is branched through suitable tees or
couplings into pipes X, K, and K. The pipe X leads through the valve 13 to
the pipe N, which enters the outer chamber of section A. The exit is through
valve 11, pipe F, valve 10, pipe F¹, to the receiver, R; or through valve 11,
pipe F, valve 10, pipe F¹ and F³, overboard; or through valve 11, pipes F, and F,
valve 14, and pipe X2, overboard. When the water circulates through pipe Xi
and passes through valve 13, the valve 9 is closed, to prevent the water from passing
down in the pipes E and E, into the air pump.
The pipe K extends down to the chamber of section C, and enters it, the exit
from said chamber being accomplished through a pipe, I, which connects that
chamber with the chamber of section D. From the chamber of section D, leads a
1

page_text: pipe, O, in which is a check-valve, C'. Beyond the check-valve, a pipe, L, is
joined on, which extends upward, and is connected by a tee with the pipe J, leading
overboard, and the pipe J, which forms the exit pipe of the other chamber of
section B. In the pipe J, is a valve 12.
The branch pipe K³, already mentioned, has in it a valve 7, beyond which it
enters the outer chamber of section B.
By observing the arrows which indicate the course of the steam, beginning at
the entrance of pipe Z, it will be seen that the steam passes through sections A
and B (when they are in use) in a direction from right to left, and that it passes
through section C in a direction from left to right, and through section D, in a
direction from right to left again. It is also evident that the direction of flow in
sections C and D is not altered by the cutting out of either or both of the sections A
and B. Nor is the direction of flow in either A or B affected by the circumstance
that one or the other is cut out. If, now, the direction of flow of the induction
water is studied, beginning at K, and referring to the arrows, it will be seen that
the water flows through the outer chambers and circulates around the pipes in a
direction opposite to that taken by the steam. This is true of the water which
passes through the pipe X', valve 18 and pipe N, into and through the chamber
of section A. It is also true of the water which passes through the pipe K¹ and
the chamber of section C, and pipe l', and the chamber of section D. It is also
true of the water which circulates through pipe K, valve 7, and the chamber of
section B. I construct the apparatus in this way with the object of attaining
greater efficiency in its use as a condenser, as I find that by this arrangement I am
able to use fewer sections than would be the case if the water and the steam flowed
in the same direction.
Another special feature of the construction and arrangement described is that
the induction water is passed cold into three of the sections, thereby producing a
greater condensing effect than if the water passed successively from one section to
the next. In that case, the water would become heated as it passed along, and
exert less effect in condensing the steam.
Coming, now, to the special construction of the parts, the receiver, R, is made of
a piece of pipe standing in a vertical position, with a reducing coupling screwed
upon the upper end, where the pipe Fenters. At the bottom of the receiver, a
cap is screwed on with a side opening to connect with the pipe G, running to the
boiler-pump, as already described.
I have adopted a special construction for the hoods, which are secured to the
ends of the sections by flanged joints. The hoods a and b, through which,
respectively, the steam enters sections A and B, are constructed of the usual
shape; that is, they are semicircular, and the connecting pipes enter them at the
middle. With the other hoods, however, one side is made straight instead of
curved, and the connecting pipes enter either directly from the straight side, or, as
in the hood a², through the curved portion, just alongside the straight side. I find
that with the semicircular hoods, the water of condensation is sure to collect in
such quantity as to form a back pressure upon the steam, to say nothing of the loss.
which takes place by reason of the water not flowing through, either by gravity or
under the action of the air-pump. By examining the drawing of the hood a², it will
be seen that the connecting pipe enters its lowest portion, so that all the water
which collects in the hood can easily be drawn off by the air pump. Furthermore,
in the case of the hood, all the water which collects will pass out by gravity, as
the pipe S, is joined to the hood through the lower flat portion thereof.
Obviously, the same action will take place in the other hoods which form the
outlets of sections C and D.
It will be seen that I make the upper portions of the inlet hoods of the said
sections flat and horizontal, so that the said hoods may be connected with the
outlet hoods out of the sections just preceding, by straight, vertical pipes, which
allow the water of condensation to fall through them without obstruction: The

page_text: hoods and the outer chambers of the different sections are provided with hand-
plates, i, i, i, i, which can be removed for the purpose of inspection, or cleaning the
respective parts. Drip-cocks, a, a, a, a, are placed at the lowest points in the various
pipes, for emptying the condenser of its contents, when necessary. The hoods being
connected to the condenser sections by flanged joints, can be easily removed when it
is necessary to make repairs.
In Fig. 2, W. is the center tube of sections A, B, and C, and in Fig. 3, X is the
center tube of section D. Fig. 4, shows these same tubes in cross-section, alongside
the steam exhaust tube Z. The relative sizes are clear from these figures.
In
The operation of the apparatus under varying conditions will now be described:
Suppose, for example, that it is desired to use section A, as a heating section.
that case, valves 1, 3, 4, 6, 9, 11, 10, 16, 7 and 12, are open, and valves 8, 17, 15, 2,
14, 13 and 5, are closed. The steam enters at Z, passes through valve 1, into the
hood a', then through the tubes into the hood a³, thence, through valve 3, coupling T,
valve 4, the hoods and tubes and sections B, pipe S, valve 6, tecs, pipe S1, the hoods
and tubes of section C, and D, as indicated by the arrows. As the steam has become
condensed, the air pump, P, draws the water of condensation from the section D,
through pipe M, and passes it through the check-valve C2, pipe E, and valve 9, into
the chamber of section A, to be heated before passing into the receiver. In the
chamber of section A, the water of condensation circulates around the tubes, and
passes out through valve 11, pipe F, valve 10, and pipe F¹, into the receiver.
Whatever air the air pump has drawn from the condenser sections, along with the
water of condensation will pass over the same course, and out through the branch-
pipe F3. The said pipe, F³, acts also as an outlet for the water of condensation, in
case the boiler pump should, from any cause, fail to act while the engine is in
motion. The boiler pump takes the water from the receiver, through the valve 16
and pipe G.
In that case,
Supposing section A, is to be used for a condensing section.
-as
valves 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 17, 12, 13, 7, 11 and 14 are open, and valves 2, 5, 9, 15, 16, and 10,
are closed. The steam enters at Z, and traverses the course already described,
as being taken by the steam when the section A. is used as a heating section,-
far as the pipe E. From that pipe, it passes through pipe V, valves 8 and 17, and
pipe H, overboard. The cooling water for the condensing section A, is taken
from the branch-pipe X', after it has passed through valve 13 and pipe N, into
the chamber of section A. Beyond the said section, after circulating around the
tubes, the water passes through valve 11, pipes F, and F2, valve 14, and pipe X²,
overboard.
Suppose it is desired to cut out section A, and use the remaining sections,
returning the water of condensation through a bye-pass to the receiver.
Valves 2, 4, 6, 8, 15, 16, 10, 7, and 12 are open, and valves 17, 9, 13, 5, 3, 11, 1 and 14
are closed. The steam entering at Z, passes through valve 2 and bye-pass pipe Z,
and after reaching the cross or coupling T, will pass through the open valve, 4,
and over the course already described, to the pipe E, thence by the pipe V,
valves 8 and 15, and bye-pass pipe Y, to the pipe F2, valve 10, pipe F and
receiver, R. From the receiver, the boiler pump carries the water through
valve 16 and pipe G.
Suppose it is desired to cut out section B, for repairs, or any other reason.
Valves 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 10 and 16 are open, and valves 2, 4, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 8, 15 and
17 are closed. Valve 12 is placed in the eduction water pipe of section B, to keep
the cooling water from backing up into the said section from sections C and D,
when section B is cut out, and valve 6 similarly prevents the steam from backing
up into section B when the said section is cut out. The arrangement of valves
described is made when section B is cut out, and section A is to be used as a
heating section. In that case, the steam enters at Z, passes through valve 1, and
the hoods and tubes of section A, valve 3, and cross or coupling, T, through
valve 5, and bye-pass pipe Z2, through the hoods and tubes of sections C, and D),

page_text: pipe M, air-pump, P, check-valve C³, pipe E, pipe E2, valve 9, chamber of
section A, valve 11, pipe F, valve 10, pipe F¹, receiver R, valve 16, pipe G, and
boiler-pump. But if section A is to be used as a condensing section, while the
section B is cut out, valves 1, 3, 5, 13, 11, 14, 8 and 17, will be open, and valves
2, 10, 4, 6, 7, 12, 9, 15 and 16, will be closed. In that case, the cooling water will
pass from pipe X, through valve 13, and pipe N, into the chamber of section A,
and will pass out overboard, by way of valve 11, pipes F, and F, valve 14 and
pipe X At the same time, the water of condensation will pass from pipe E,
through V, valve 8, valve 17, and pipe H; overboard.
Suppose sections A, and B, are both cut out, and that it is desired to pass the
water of condensation into the receiver. In that case, valves 1, 3, 4, 6, 9, 11, 14,
7, 12, 13 and 17 are closed, and valves 2, 5, 8, 15, 10 and 16, are open. The
steam enters at Z, and being shut off by the closed valve, 1, passes through the
open valve, 2, and the pipe 71, constituting a bye-pass to the cross or coupling, T.
Thence, it goes by the only course open, through the valve 5 and the bye-pass
pipe Z, whence it enters the hood of section C, and travels over the usual course
to the pipe E, valve 8, pipes V and Y, valve 15, to the pipe , valve 10, pipe F¹,
and receiver R. Thence, it goes to the boiler-pump, as already described, or, if it
is not desired to have the boiler-pump draw it from the receiver, the valve 16 can
be closed, and the water of condensation can be passed overboard after it has filled
the receiver, through branch or safety-pipe F³. I call the open pipe F³, a
safety-pipe, because if the boiler-pump should fail to act while the engine continued
in motion, section A would burst, unless there were an outlet provided such as I
have made by means of the pipe F3. The only valve needing to be changed in
the valve 16, which shuts off the water from the boiler-pump, and allows the
receiver to get filled, and the water to be forced overboard, through the pipe F³.
If it is desired to pass the water of condensation overboard without going into the
receiver, valve 15 will be closed, and valve 17 open. The water will pass through
valve 17 and pipe H, overboard. Besides closing valve 15, valves 10 and 16 may
also be closed, the other valves being unchanged. The cooling water will enter
the chamber of section C, through the branch pipe K', connected to the main
induction water pipe, K, and it will pass through the chambers of sections C, and D,
and out through the pipe O, check-valve C', pipes L and J overboard.
Suppose all the sections, A, B, C, and D, are to be used as condenser sections,
the steam passes successively through the hoods and tubes of the different sections,
and to the pipe E, by the course already described, and thence through pipe V,
valves 8 and 17, and pipe H, overboard. The induction water is conveyed into the
condenser sections from the main induction water pipe, K, through the branches X,
K', and K, in such a manner that each of the first three sections of my condenser
gets a separate supply of cooling water. For example, A gets its supply through
the pipes X and N, the exit being through valve 11, pipes F and F2, and
valve 14, overboard. Section B gets its supply through the pipe K2, valve 7, the
exit being by way of pipe J, valve 12 and pipe J, overboard. Section C, (and
with it section D) gets its supply through the branch-pipe K', the exit from
section D being by pipes O and L, and J, overboard, passing on the way check-
valve C. It will be seen that while there is a common eduction pipe, J, for the
sections B, C and D, yet the first named section discharges its cooling water
separately through the said pipe, and section C discharges its cooling water through
pipe I, and the chamber of section D, and thence through pipe O, check-valve C,
and pipe K, to the same exit. Instead of passing the cooling water, after it has
traversed the section A, through the valve 14 and overboard, this valve can be
closed, and valve 10 opened, whereupon the water will pass into the receiver, R,
through the pipe Fi. It can then be used in the boiler, passing through for the
purpose valve 16, pipe G, and the boiler-pump. Or, if this water is not wanted for
the boiler, valve 16 can be closed, and the water passed overboard through the
safety overflow pipe, F³.
When all the sections, A, B, C, and D, are used as condenser sections, and the

page_text: cooling water which traverses section A is passed overboard, through valve 14 and
pipe X, the arrangement of open and closed valves will be as follows:-Open, 1,
3, 4, 6, 8, 17, 7, 12, 13, 11, and 14; closed, 2, 5, 9, 15, 10, and 16. To pass the
cooling water from section A into the receiver, the arrangement will be the same,
except that valve 14 will be closed, and valve 10 open. To pass the water through
the receiver to the boiler-pump, valve 16 will also be open. In other words, the
final arrangement of the valves will be-Open, 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 17, 7, 12, 13, 11, 10,
and 16: Closed, 2, 5, 9, 15, and 14. Closing valve 16 will have the effect of
forcing all the water to pass off through the safety branch pipe, F³, above the
receiver.
It may happen that the water passing through section A, when it is used as a
heating section, will get too hot for the boiler-pump to work well, in which case,
the valve 2 may be partially opened, to allow a part of the steam to go through
the bye-pass and enter section B. In this way, the temperature of the water
passing to the boiler-pump can be regulated.
And if all of the sections of the condenser are used as condensing sections,
valve 2 of the bye-pass may be fully opened, if so desired, to divide the steam
by letting part of the steam pass through the bye-pass and part through the
first section. The condenser, as constructed for actual use, will have ample
cooling surface to condense the steam without the first section, and, for this
reason, when all of the sections are used as condensing sections, the steam may
be divided, as before stated, so that the steam will have a chance to expand
suddenly after leaving the main steam exhaust pipe, making it easier on the con-
denser and engine.
It will be observed that the heating section, A, has a hand-hole and a hand-
plate, both at the top and bottom, the latter hand-hole being there, to permit the
water used in cleansing the chamber to pass out.
When section B is cut out for repairs, the condenser is deprived of one of its
condensing sections, but in that case section A may be used as a condensing
section, and the heating section dispensed with.
It will be evident that the precise detalls herein described may be varied, and I
therefore desire it to be understood that I do not limit myself to them.
