WILLIAM ARTHUR, or NEWPORT, KENTUCKY.
lMPROtEMENT IN STEAM WATER-ELEVATORS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 126,246, dated April 30, 1872.
Specification describing a certain Improved Steam-Pump, invented by WILLIAM ARTHUR, of Newport, in the county ofGampbell and State of Kentucky.
This invention relates to a pump for raising water by the direct action of steam; and consists, first, in the construction of the injecting device, and, second, in associating therewith an additional injector, whose mouth is placed below the surface-level of the water-supply, so that it will always be at a temperature sufficiently low to condense the steam, for a purpose hereinafter explained.
The drawing is a side view of my apparatus partly in section. v
A is the steam-pipe. B is a globe-valve or cock between the steam-pipe A and the jetnozzle (3, passing centrally across the waterchamber 1). E is a cylindrical portion of pipe leading from the water-chamber D to the discharge-pipe F, to which water-hose may be coupled. G is the suction-pipe communicating with the supply-water H, having a surfacelevel, h. Projecting into the supply-pipe beneath the water-level is a steam-jet, z, the pipe I of which communicates with the steam-pipe A through a valve or cock, K. The steamjet 2' may, if desired, enter the supply-pipe in a horizontal direction, as shown by dotted lines.
The operation of my pump is as follows: The pipe F is supposed to be always filled with water that may be retained therein by a check valve, if necessary. To set the pump in operation the valve B is opened, and the steam issuing from the nozzle G and into the cylindrical neck E will force the water through the discharge-pipe F. If the water in the chamber D and pipe E becomes heated, owing to its having been long at rest in proximity to the steam-pipe A-and from this cause the steam when turned on is not condensed with sufficient rapidity to render the injector efl'ectual-then the valve B is closed and the valve K opened; and by this means the lower steamjet 1' is put in operation, and this jet, being surrounded by cool liquid, will always be at a sufiicientlylow temperature to condense the steam and allow the steam current to gain sufficient momentum to raise or propel the water. When the current is established the valve Bis opened and valve K closed, and the liquid is pumped by the jet 0 alone, the additional jet i being only used for the purpose above mentioned.
The form of the throat or neck E is a matter of paramount importance, because if this is enlarged within a small distance of the nozzle 0 an eddy is formed at the point of enlargement, and more or less regurgitation takes place.
I claim as my invention- 1. The throat E, having an unvaryin g diameter from end to end and discharging into a chamber or pipe, F, of larger diameter, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
2. In combination with an upper injector,
O E F, the auxiliary jet I 1', arranged substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony of which invention I have hereunto set my hand.
WILLIAM ARTHUR.
