Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented M3519, 19m.
Application filed une 5, 1913. Serial No, 771,787.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EDWIN BUHHORN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hoboken, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain and useful Improvements in Cooling-Towers, of which the following is a specification, rater ence being had therein to the accon'ipmiying drawing.
This invention relates to cooling towers or that class of apparatus the purpose of which is to lower the temperature of water which has become heated by the operation of a condensing steam engine or otherwise.
The principal object of the present invention is to secure a. more efficient distributing or directing of the water, which is dischhrged at the towers up or end, and passes through the structure 0 the tower to the collecting tank at the base. 4
Another object hereof is to secure the proper directing of the water discharged at the upper end, by means of a wind-o erated device, which may cause any desire direction of discharge, with respect to the, direc tion of the wind. For example, there may be a discharge at the windward side of the tower so that the general drift or lateral travel of the descending weter will not cause an excessive loss of water blowing out to leeward, as with heretofore known ape paretuses. f
Another. object hereof is to attain the above recited objects by means of a shifting member, which is adapted to restrict outflow froman elevated water vessel at one place or another, and which is bodily shifted to leeward by the wind-o erated device, for gestricting or cutting o the leeward out- Other objects and advantages of the present improvement will be pointed out in the hereinafter following description, or will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
To the 'ettainmeut of the objects referred to, this invention consists in the novel devices, arrangements, combinations and other features hereinafter described and illustrated.
First will be described one form of app:: ratus in which the present invention is embodied, and thereafter the novel features will be pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, Figure 1 a side elevation partly broken away of the upper portion of a. cooling tower rame together with an elevated water vessel thereupon, so which thepresent invehtiorx has been applied. Fig. 2 is g}. vertical section taken on" the plane 2, 2,01 Fig. 1.
The same reference msnierals, designate corresponding parts in both figures;
The cooling tower rsey'tiike any desired form, such to es indicated in my prior Patent: lq' or my pend ing application isle. On top 'ci' the tower frame is a or elevated wetter vessel 11, which r be of any desired construction. For nbodiment of this invention it only llt-l'flmfii' *1 that thewoter vessel be ads, ted'for wntcr outfiow ordischarge at di erent places c Heats, and. such outflow is preferably an overflow near he upper part of the vessel.
For convenience, a water vessel is illustrated having some or" the characteristics of that shown in mysaid prior application. Thus it posgawes 'a horizontal partition 12, forming an inclosed chamber or box 13, into which water enters by inlet 14, and from which chamber 13, the water passes upwardly through connecting nipples 15, to the upper or overflow chamber '16, of the vessel. The nipples .15, may extend slightly below the level of the. partition 12, so as to form air spaces 17, which serve to equalize the upward flow as set forth in said prior application. The overflow of water from the chamber lfi'may be in vari ous ways, but rather than have an overflow above horizontal straight wells, it is preferred to provide the side walls l8, 18, with notches 19, 19, so that the overflow is in distinct streams.
It is proposed herein to provide means operated by wind power, for varying or directing the water discharge from the elevated vessel, and, as already stated, such discharge is preferably toward the windward side of the tower, this result being effected by cutting oil, partially or wholly, the discharge at the leeward side. The wind operated device may comprise any suitable ovable vane or wing, and while same might be variously mounted, the following is referred to as a convenient illustration: A horizontal supporting rod 20, is secured above the water vessel 11, by means of side brackets 21. Hung from the rod 20, are swinging arms 22, 22, carrying the wing or difierent sides for overflow of water, a In testimony whereof I affix my signature swinging wind late fitted to move to leein presence of two witnesses. ward by the-action of wind, and a floating notch-closing member shiftable in said was EDWIN BURHORNL I sel with the shifting of said wind plate, and Witnesses: having loose ov-sliding connection with said.
