I THOMAS HENRY WHITE of Crowther Street Regent Road, Salford, in the
county of Lancaster Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS KNOWN AS ⚫ EJECTOR CONDENSERS' WHICH
IMPROVEMENTS ARE ALSO APPLICABLE TO APPARATUS FOR RAISING AND FORCING
WATER OR OTHER FLUIDS" to be as follows :—
My invention refers to the apparatus commonly known as 'ejector condensers'
such apparatus being also applicable for raising and forcing water or other fluids
and my invention consists in arrangements wheroby such apparatus are caused to
work with greater efficiency and certainty than they have hitherto done-I will
firstly describe my invention as applied to an 'ejector condenser. In carrying my
invention into effect I employ a steam-nozzle or jet and a combining tube the exit
end of such steam nozzle or jet and the entrance to the combining tube I enclose
within a chamber to which water is supplied. Opposite to the exit ond of the
combining tube above mentioned I place a delivery tube the entrance to which
delivery tube and the exit end of the combining tube I enclose within a chamber
with which chamber the interior of the combining tube above referred to
communicates either by slots or openings or by a space between the exit end of the
combining tube before mentioned and the entrance to the delivery tube aforesaid—
Through the side of the chamber above referred to enclosing the exit end of the
combining tube and the entrance to the delivery tube I form an opening or
openings which may at times be closed by a valve or valves-The water supplied
to the chamber in which are enclosed the exit end of the steam nozzle or jet and
the entrance to the combining tube, flows through such combining tube and
escapes partly by the delivery tube and partly by the openings formed through the
combining tube and through the opening or openings formed in the side of the
chamber surrounding the exit end of the combining tube and the entrance to
the delivery tube-The steam to be condensed as it proceeds from the steam
engine or other apparatus to which my invention is applied is conducted, to the
steam nozzle or jet before mentioned and coming into contact with the water
flowing through the combining tube aforesaid will be condensed and along with

page_text: the water aforesaid will escape partly through the delivery tube and partly
through the opening or openings formed in the side of the chamber which surrounds
the exit end of the combining tube above mentioned and the entrance to the
delivery tube before referred to: and the said condensed steam will continue to so
escape until the water and condensed steam pass along the combining tube with
such velocity that the condensed steam and water will pass through the delivery
tube whereupon the valve or valves before mentioned will prevent all access of
external air to the interior of the combining tube aforesaid, whereupon the steam
will be rapidly condensed and a partial vacuum will be formed within the steam
nozzle or jet before mentioned.
If from any cause the supply of steam or water be interrupted the condensed
steam or water or condensed steam and water will again escape partly by the
delivery tube and partly by the slots or openings formed in the combining tube
aforesaid and through the opening or openings previously mentioned formed in the
side of the chamber surrounding the exit end of the combining tube and the
entrance to the delivery tube, until the condensed steam and water again pass
through the combining tube with sufficient velocity to pass through the delivery
tube upon which the valve or valves previously mentioned will be closed and a
partial vacuum again formed within the steam jet or nozzle above referred to.
Instead of surrounding as above described the steam nozzle or jet by a chamber
to which water is supplied I in some cases pass the water through a jet or nozzle
which I surround by a chamber or casing to which the steam to be condensed is
supplied.
In some cases I employ a pipe or passage to conduct the overflow water from
the valve or valves above mentioned to the exit end of the delivery tube above
referred to or such pipe or passage may conduct the said overflow water to any
convenient place.
When my invention is applied to apparatus for raising and forcing water or other
fluids an apparatus similar in construction to that above described is employed
but steam of a pressure greater than that of the atmosphere is supplied to such
apparatus.

I, THOMAS HENRY WHITE of Crowther Street Regent Road Salford in the
County of Lancaster Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
]MPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS KNOWN AS EJECTOR CONDENSERS, WHICH IMPROVE-
MENTS ARE ALSO APPLICABLE TO APPARATUS FOR RAISING AND FORCING WATER
OR OTHER FLUIDS and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
'
My invention refers to the apparatus commonly known as ejector condensers
such apparatus being also applicable for raising and forcing water or other fluids
and my invention consists in arrangements whereby such apparatus are caused to
work with greater efficiency and certainty than they have hitherto done.
I will firstly describe my invention as applied to what is known as an ejector
condenser and in order that my invention may be fully understood and carried
into effect I will describe the same with the aid of the drawings hereunto annexed.
Fig. 1. of the drawings hereunto annexed is a longitudinal section of an ejector
condenser constructed according to my invention-a, is the casing of the ejector
condenser in which casing a is a steam nozzle or jet b, and c, is a combining tube-
I enclose the exit end b', of the steam nozzle or jet b, within a chamber d, formed
within the casing a, to which chamber d, water is supplied-Opposite to the exit
end c, of the combining tube c, I place a delivery tube e, the entrance to which
delivery tube e, and the exit end c', of the combining tube c,-I enclose within a
chamber f-The interior of the combining tube e, communicates by means of slots
or openings g, with the interior of the chamber f. The slots or openings g are
formed as shown in the cross section Fig. 2.
In some cases I separate the combining tube c, from the delivery tubo e, at or
about the point A as shown in the detached view Fig. 3, in which case the interior
of the combining tube c, and the entrance to the delivery tube e, will communicate
with the interior of the chamber f, by means of the space h, between the exit
end c, of the combining tube c, and the entrance to the delivery tube c,-Through
the side of the casing a, I form an opening j, and I provide a valve k, by means of
which valve k, the opening ; may at times be closed-I secure a cap 7, by means of
screw threads m, formed upon a part m³, formed upon the casing a, Upon the
cap 1, I forin a tube A, the interior of which tube l', forms a guide in which the
spindle of the valve k, slides-The water supplied to the chamber d, flows
through the combining tube c, and escapes partly by the delivery tube e, and partly
by the slots or openings g, formed through the sides of the combining tube c, and
passes through the opening j forcing the valve h, away from its seat in the direction
indicated by the arrow B, and passes through the opening 13, formed through the
side of the cap -The steam to be condensed as it proceeds from the steam engine
or other apparatus to which, the ejector condenser above described is applied is
•

page_text: conducted to the steam nozzle or jet b, and such steam coming into contact with
the water flowing through the combining tube c, aforesaid will be condensed and
will along with the said water escape partly through the delivery tube e, and
partly through the slots or openings g, opening j, and opening 1, which opening l²,
is formed in the cap l. and the condensed steam and water will continue to so
escape until such condensed steam and water pass along the combining tube c, with
such velocity that the whole of the condensed steam and water will pass through
the delivery tube e, when the valve k, will be drawn against its seat by the partial
vacuum formed within the chamber f, and prevent all access of external air to the
interior of the combining tube c, whereupon the steam issuing from the steam
nozzle or jet b, will be rapidly condensed and a partial vacuum will be formed
within the eteam nozzle or jet b, If from any cause the supply of steam or water
'be interrupted the steam or water or condensed steam and water will again escape
.partly by the delivery tube e, and partly by the slots or openings g, opening j and
opening, until the condensed steam and water again pass through the combining
tube c, with such velocity that the whole of the condensed steam and water will
pass through the delivery tube e, when the valve k, will again close the opening j,
and a partial vacuum will be again formed within the steam nozzle or jet b, above
referred to The steam or water or condensed steam and water escaping from the
opening, may be conducted by means of a pipe or other suitable means to any
suitable place if so desired.
Fig. 4. illustrates another method of carrying out my invention and is a
'longitudinal section of an ejector condenser to which this modification of my
invention is applied-In Fig. 4, n, is the casing of the ejector condenser, o is the
steam nozzle, p is the combining tube and q. is the delivery tube-The combining
tube pris surrounded by the chamber r, enclosed by the casing n, and the plate n',
formed with the casing n, and the said combining tube p, is supported within the
casing n, by the plate n', and shoulder p³, formed upon the combining tube p-
Through one side of the casing n, is formed an opening 8, provided with a valve t,
by which valve t, the opening 8, may at times be closed-The valve t, is situate
within a chamber w, formed within the casing 2,-A passage v, formed in the
casing n, leads from the chamber u, to an annular chamber v, formed within the
casing n, and around the delivery tube g-The valve t, is formed with a spindle t¹,
which spindle t¹, passes into a hole formed in the cap n², which is screwed upon
screw threads formed upon the casing n-The interior of the combining tube p.
communicates by means of slots or openings w, with the interior of the chamber -
In some cases I separate the combining tube p, from the delivery tube q, at the
.point B', as shown in the detached view Fig. 3, in which case the interior of the
combining tube p, and the entrance to the delivery tube q, will communicate with
the interior of the chamber r, by means of the space, between the exit end of the
combining tube p, and the entrance to the delivery tube g.-The action of the
parts of this arrangement of ejector condenser is substantially the same as that of
the parts of the arrangement of ejector condenser shown in and described in
reference to Fig. 1, but this arrangement of ejector condenser differs from that
shown in and described in reference to Fig. 1, in that the steam or water or
condensed steam and water escaping from the opening 8, is or are conducted by
the passage v, to the annular chamber v', surrounding the delivery tube q. of the
ejector condenser instead of being allowed to escape from the cap 1, by means of
the opening
I will now describe my invention as applied to apparatus for raising and forcing
water or other fluids which apparatus for raising and forcing water or other fluids
consists in apparatus similar in construction to the apparatus above described to
which apparatus for raising and forcing water or other fluids steam of a pressure
greater than that of the atmosphere is supplied-In order that this application of
my invention may be fully understood and carried into effect I will refer to the
drawings hereunto annexed in which drawings Fig. 5. shows one arrangement of
this application of my invention, is the casing, y, is the steam nozzle and ', is

page_text: one portion of the combining tube 2, the remaining portion s², of which combining
tube 2, and the delivery tube 1. are formed in the plug 2, secured in the casing,
by means of screw threads Through one side of the casing x, is formed an
opening 3, which opening 3, is at times as will be hereinafter described closed by a
valve 4, the spindle 4 of which valve 4, slides in a hole formed in the cap 5,
secured upon a projecting part x', formed upon the casing x-When steam is
allowed to issue from the steam nozzle y, a partial vacuum will be produced in the
chamber 6 formed within the casing, and water will be drawn into such chamber 0
and carried by the steam through the first portion 2', of the combining tube 2,
where the steam will be condensed and combine with the water and the combined
steam and water will escape partly through the second portion 3, of the combining
tube 2, and the delivery tube .1. and partly through the spaco D between the exit
end of the first portion 2', of the combining tube z and the entrance to the
remaining portion 2³, of the combining tube z, through the opening 3, past the
valve 4, and through the opening 5a formed through one side of the cap 5,-The
combined steam and water will continue to so escape until the said combined
steam and water pass along the first portion ¹, of the combining tube 3, with
such velocity that the whole of the said steam and water will pass through the
second portions, of the combining tube 2, and through the delivery tube 1.
when the valve 4, will be drawn against and close the opening 3, and prevent the
access of external air to the space D, which access of external air to the space D,
would interfere with the working of the above described apparatus for raising
and forcing water.
If from any cause the supply of steam or water be interrupted the steam or
water or combined steam and water will again escape partly through the second
portion, of the combining tube z, and the delivery tube 1, and partly by the
space D, between the first portion 2', of the combining tube z, and the remaining
portion 3, of such combining tube 2, through the opening 3, past the valve. 4, and
through the opening 5* until the combined steam and water again pass through the
first portion, of the combining tubes, with such velocity that the whole of
the said combined steam and water will pass through the second portion 3, of the
combining tube 2, and through the delivery tube 1. when the valve 4, will be
again caused to close the opening 3, and prevent the access of external air to the
space D.
Fig. 6, shows another method of carrying this application of my invention into
effect 7, is the casing of the apparatus for raising and forcing water or other
fluid—8, is the steam nozzle-9, is the first portion of the combining tube 9,—9³, is
the second portion of the combining tube 9, and 10, is the delivery tube.
The second portion 9b of the combining tube 9, and the delivery tube 10, are
carried by a partition 7", formed within the casing 7-Through the partition 7, is
formed an opening 11, closed at times by a valve 12, the spindle 12, of which
valve 12 is supported by and capable of being slidden in a hole formed in a cap 13,
secured to the casing 7-The chamber 14, enclosing the valve 12, communicates by
means of a passage 14 with a chamber 15 formed within the casing 7 and around
the delivery tube 10 which chamber 15 communicates by means of the passages 16
with the pipe 17 with which the delivery tube 10 communicates-The action of the
parts of this arrangement of apparatus for raising and forcing water is similar to
that of the parts of the arrangement of apparatus for raising and forcing water
shown in and described in reference to Fig. 5 but this arrangement of apparatus
for raising and forcing water differs from that shown in and described in reference
to Fig. 5 in that the steam or water or combined steam and water escaping through
the space D opening 11 and past the valve 12 is or are conducted by the passage 14*
chamber 15 and passage 16 to the pipe 17.
Fig. 7 shows another arrangement of the application of my invention to apparatus
for raising and forcing water or other fluids and as this arrangement of apparatus
for raising and forcing water or other fluids only differs from the arrangement of
apparatus for raising and forcing water or other fluids shown in and described in

page_text: reference to Fig. 6 in the arrangements employed for shutting off the space between
the exit end of the first portion of the combining tube and the entrance to the
second portion of such combining tube from the exit end of the delivery tube. I will
only particularly describe the said arrangements for shutting off the space between
the exit end of the first portion of the combining tube and the entrance to the
second portion of such combining tube from the exit end of the delivery tube and to
the remaining parts of this arrangement of apparatus for raising and forcing water
or other fluids I shall apply the same letters of reference as have above been
applied to the corresponding parts of the apparatus for raising and forcing water or
other fluids shown in and described in reference to Fig. 6. 7 is the casing of the
apparatus for raising and forcing water into which casing 7 is screwed a plug or
bush 18 in which plug or bush 18 is formed a tube 18. 9b is the second portion of the
combining tube 9 formed with which second portion 9b of the combining tube 9 is
the delivery tube 10. The second portion 9b of the combining tube 9 and the delivery
tube 10 are secured to the tube 18 by means of the screw 19" which screws into a
projecting part 9° formed upon the second portion 9b of the combining tube 9—
11 is a space or opening surrounding the second portion 9b of the combining tube 9
which space or opening 11 communicates with the chamber 16-19 is a valve
capable of being slidden upon the delivery tube 10 which valve 19 at times as will
be hereinafter described closes the end 11" of the space 11".
The steam or water or combined steam and water issuing from the first
portion 9 of the combining tubo 9 will pass partly through the second portion 9¹
of the combining tube 9 and through the delivery tube 10 and partly through the
space D between the exit end of the first portion 9 of the combining tube 9 and
the entrance to the second portion 9b of the combining tube 9 and into the
chamber 11 and will escape past the valve 19 into the chamber 16 surrounding
the delivery tubo 10 until the combined steam and water issuing from the first
portion 9 of the combining tube 9 issue from such first portion 9" of the combining
tube 9 with such velocity that the whole of such combined steam and water will
pass through the second portion 9b of the combining tube 9 and through the
delivery tube 10 when a partial vacuum will be formed in the chamber 11" and
the valve 19 will be caused to close the end 11" of the space 11° and prevent
the access of water from the exit end of the delivery tube 10 to the space D.
Fig. 8 shows another arrangement of apparatus for raising and forcing water or
other fluids, to which my invention is applied and as this arrangement of apparatus
for raising and forcing water or other fluids only differs from those shown in and
described in reference to Figs. 6 and 7 in the arrangements employed for shutting
.off the space D between the exit end of the first portion of the combining tube and
the entrance to the second portion of the combining tube from the exit end of the
delivery tube I shall only particularly describo such arrangements for shutting off
from the exit end of the delivery tube the space between the exit end of the first
portion of the combining tube and the entrance to the second portion of the
combining tube and to the remaining parts of the arrangements of apparatus for
raising and forcing water or other fluids shown in Fig. 8 I shall affix the same
letters of reference as have been above affixed to the corresponding parts of the
apparatus for raising and forcing water or other fluids shown in and described in
reference to Figs. 6 and 7-In Fig. 8-7 is the casing of the apparatus for raising
and forcing water or other fluids, screwed into the casing 7 is a plug or bush 20
formed with tubular parts 20" 20" which tubular parts 20" 20" are separated by a
cavity or recess 21-9b is the second portion of the combining tube 9 and formed
with the second portion 9b of the combining tube 9 is the delivery tube 10. Upon
and around the second portion 9b of the combining tube 9 and the delivery tube 10
respectively are formed projections 22, 23. the outer ends of which projections 22, 23
are capable of being slidden within the tubular parts 20" 20% which tubular
parts 20° 20° act as guides.
Formed around and fast with the delivery tube 10 is a valve 24 which valvo 24
at times closes the end 25 of the space 25 which space 25 is between the interior

page_text: of the tubular part 20° and the exterior of the second portion 9b of the combining
tube 9-When steam or water or combined steam and water commence to issue
from the exit end of the first portion 9* of the combining tube 9 such steam or water
or combined steam and water will escape partly through the second portion 9b of
the combining tube 9 and the delivery tube 10 and partly through the space D
between the exit end of the first portion 9 of the combining tube 9 and the
entrance to the second portion 9b of the combining tube 9 into the space 25 and
thence by the cavity or recess through the space 26 between the delivery tube 10
and the tube 20° then between the projections 23 into the pipe 17 and the combined
steam and water will continue to so escapo until such combined steam and wator
issue from the first portion 9° of the combining tube 9 with such velocity that the
whole of the said combined steam and water will pass through the second portion 9
of the combining tube 9 and through the delivery tubo 10 when the pressure of the
combined steam and water within the pipe 17 will cause the second portion 9b of.
the combining tubo 9 and the delivery tube 10 to slide longitudinally until tho
valve 24 arrives against the end 25 of the space 25 and by so doing shuts off the
space D from the exit end of the delivery tube 10 and thereby prevents water
from the cavity or recess 21 from obtaining access to the space D-If from any
cause the supply of steam or water or steam and water be interrupted the second
portion 9 of the combining tube 9 will be slidden back into the position in which
it is shown in Fig. 7 of the drawings hereunto annexed until the whole of the
combined steam and water again passes through the delivery tube 10 when the
valve 24 will be again caused to close the end 25 of the space 25.
Fig. 9 shows another arrangement of apparatus for raising and forcing water or
other fluids to which my invention is applied-27 is the casing of the apparatus for
raising and forcing water or other fluids in which casing 27 is formed a tube 28.-
29 is the second portion of the combining tube 29 formed with which second
portion 29 of the combining tube 29 is the delivery tube 30-Upon the delivery
tube 30 are formed projections 30° and upon the second portion 29 of the combining
tubo 29 are formed projections 29b. The projections 29° 30° serve to maintain the
second portion 29 of the combining tube 29 and the delivery tube 30 central in the
tube 28 while being slidden longitudinally in the tube 28. I form one end of
the second portion 29 of the combining tube 29 with a circular flange 29°
which flange 29° constitutes a valve-When the combined steam and water
commence to issue from the exit end of the first portion 29d of the combining
tube 29 such combined steam and water will pass partly through the second
portion 29 of the combining tube 29 and through the delivery tube 30 and partly
through the space D between the exit end of the first portion 29d of the combining
tube 29 and the edge of the flange 29° into the chamber 31 and from the chamber 31
in the direction indicated by the arrow E between the flange 29° and the end 28° of
the tube 28 through the space 32 between the tube 28 and the second portion 29"
of the combining tube 29 and the delivery tube 30 and through the spaces between
the projections 30-When the combined steam and water issue from the first
portion 29d of the combining tube 29 with such velocity that the whole of such
combined steam and water will pass through the second portion 29* of the
combining tube 29 and through the delivery tube 30 such second portion 29 of
the combining tube 29 and the delivery tube 30 will be slidden in the direction
indicated by the arrow F until the flange 29 arrives against the partition 33
formed within the casing 27 and shuts off the space D from the chamber 31.
If the supply of steam or water or steam and water be interrupted from any
cause the second portion 29 of the combining tube 29 and the delivery tube 30
will be slidden back into the position in which it is shown in Fig. 8 of the
drawings and the combined steam and water will again escape partly through the
second portion 29 of the combining tube 29 and through the delivery tube 30 and
partly through the space D between the exit end of the first portion 29d of the
combining tube 29 and the edge of the flange 29° to the chamber 31 and from the
chamber 31 in the direction indicated by the arrow E between-the flange 29 and

page_text: the end 280 of the tube 28 and through the space 32 between the tube 28 and the
second portion 29a of the combining tube 29 and the delivery tube 30 and through
the spaces between the projections 30 until the combined steam and water again
issue from the exit end of the first portion 29d of the combining tube 29 with such
velocity that the whole of such combined steam and water will pass through the
second portion 29 of the combining tube 29 and through the delivery tube 30
when the second portion 29 of the combining tube 29 and the delivery tube 30
will be again slidden in the direction indicated by the arrow F until the flange 29ª
arrives against the partition 33.
I have above described the nozzle by which steam is admitted to the above
described arrangements of the apparatus known as ejector condensers and the
above described arrangements of apparatus for raising and forcing water, as being
surrounded by a chamber through which chamber water is supplied but in some
cases I pass the water through a nozzle which nozzle 1 surround by a chamber
cavity or casing to which chamber cavity or casing the steam to be condensed or to
be employed for raising and forcing the water is supplied.
The above described apparatus for raising and forcing water or other fluids
require when in use to be supplied with steam of a pressure greater than that of
the atmosphere.
I would point out that the principal difference between the above described
arrangements of ejector condenser and the above described apparatus for raising
and forcing water or other fluids is that the relative proportions of the steam
nozzles and water inlet spaces or water nozzles and steam inlet spaces are mado
to correspond as will be readily understood with the proportions quantities
and pressures of the steam and water required to be passed through the said
arrangements of ejector condenser and apparatus for raising and forcing water or
other fluids.
I would have it understood that the arrangements of apparatus shown in
Figs. 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, of the drawings hereunto annexed and described above as
being used for raising and forcing water or other fluids may be used as ejector
condensers and that when such arrangements of apparatus are so used a spring
should be employed to assist the valve or sliding part employed in such apparatus
in preventing the access of the external air to the space between the exit end of
the first portion of the combining tube and the entrance to the second portion of
the said combining tube.
In the foregoing description of the arrangements of apparatus for raising and
forcing water or other fluids shown in and described in reference to Figs. 5, 6, 7, 8
and 9, of the drawings hereunto annexed-I have in some cases only referred to
such arrangements of apparatus as used for raising and forcing water but I would
have it understood that all such arrangements of apparatus may be used for raising 4
and forcing fluids other than water.
I would also have it understood in reference to the above described apparatus
for raising and forcing water or other fluids that the combining tubes of such
apparatus for raising and forcing water or other fluids may be formed with slots
similar to those described in reference to ejector condensors and shown in Figs. 1, 1
and 4, of the drawings hereunto annexed.
I would further have it understood that I do not confine myself to the use in
connection with each of the above described arrangements of ejector condenser and
apparatus for raising and forcing water or other fluids of the valves shown in the
accompanying drawings as being applied thereto as valves of any other suitable 5
form or construction may be employed.
I would have it also understood that if the connections for the steam water or
other fluid, delivery and overflow pipes be placed upon the sides of the above
described ejector condensers and apparatus for raising and forcing water or other
fluids the internal parts of the said ejector condensers and apparatus for raising 5
and forcing water or other fluids may be removed for examination or repair.
without disturbing the steam water or other fluid and other pipes used in

page_text: conjunction with such ejector condensers and apparatus for raising and forcing
water or other fluids.
I would point out in reference to each of the arrangements of apparatus for
raising and forcing water or other fluids shown in and described in reference to
Figs. 6, 7, 8 and 9, of the drawings hereunto annexed that when such apparatus
for raising and forcing water or other fluids is raising and forcing water or other
fluid a portion of the weight of the water or other fluid raised and forced will press
upon the valve employed in such apparatus for raising and forcing water or other
fluid and prevent such valve from ceasing to shut off the opening or space between.
the exit end of the first portion of the combining tube and the entrance to the
second portion of the said combining tube from the exit end of the delivery tube. .
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
Firstly. In what is known as an ejector condenser the slots or openings g. for
the temporary escape of steam or water or combined steam and water such slots or
openings 7. being used in conjunction with a valve k, which valve k. prevents
external air from being drawn in through the said slots or openings g, when the
ejector condenser is at work such slots or openings g, being formed and arranged
substantially as shown in and herein before described in reference to Figs. 1. and 4,
of the drawings hereunto annexed.
Secondly. In what is known as an ejector condenser forming the combining tube
in two or more portions so as to form a space or opening or spaces or openings for
the temporary escape of steam or water or combined steain and water such space or
opening or spaces or openings being used in conjunction with a valve which valve
prevents external air from being drawn in through the said space or opening or
spaces or openings when tho ejector condenser is at work such space or opening or
spaces or openings being formed and arranged substantially as shown in and
hereinbefore described in reference to Fig. 4 of the drawings hereunto annexed.
Thirdly. In what is known as an ejector condenser a valve for allowing the
temporary escape of steam or water or combined steam and water and preventing
when the ejector condenser is at work external air from being drawn in at the slots
or openings formed in the combining tube or at the space or opening or spaces or
openings between the portions of the combining tube such valve being constructed
arranged and operating substantially as shown in and herein before described "in
reference to the drawings hereunto annexed.
Fourthly. In what is known as an ejector condenser in which the combining
tube is formed in two or more portions one of which is attached to the delivery
tube the arrangement of such portion which is attached to the delivery tube so as
to be capable of being slidden as above described and the addition to such portion
of a valve which valve allows steam or water or combined steam and water to
escape and when the ejector condenser is at work prevents external air from being
drawn into the space or opening or spaces or openings between the portions of the
combining tube such sliding portion of the combining tube and the valve attached
thereto being constructed arranged and operating substantially as hereinbefore
described and shown.
Fifthly. In each of the above described arrangements of apparatus for raising
and forcing water or other fluids forming the combining tube in two or more
portions so as to form a space or opening or spaces or openings for the temporary
