BRUNO THOMAS, OF SEATTLE, WASHINGTON.
APPARATUS FOR ELECTRICAIF FIXATION 0F GASES.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 27, 1919.
Application filed April 18, 1917. Serial No. 162,869.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, BRUNO THOMAS, a citizen of the United States, and resident of the city of Seattle, county of King, and State of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for Electrical Fixation of Gases, of which the following is a. specification.
My invention relates to apparatus employed in the formation of arcs, which arcs are used in the electrical treatment of gases, as for the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen.
The object of my invention is to provide an improved form of electrode for such use, whereby a more efficient formation of the arc and its action upon the gases may be secured.
My invention consists of the novel constructions and combinations which are herein set forth and which are particularly defined in the claim.
In the. accompanying drawing, I have shown the special form of apparatus which I now consider as best adapted to carry out my improvements. This shows an arcing or transforming chamber 3 which may be of any suitable material and type of construction which is not at variance with that which is herein indicated to be essential.
The air or other gases being acted upon enters this chamber through a pipe 30, which is joined to the body of the chamber walls by a coned section 31. This coned section is desirable to secure the best relationship with the special shape of the electrodes used.
My invention has been illustrated as it would be designed for the use of a multiphase electric current having three phases although it may be used with a current of any other number of phases. Each electrode is connected with its respective lead of a current supply system. The number of electrodes would be determined largely by the number of phases of the current supply being used.
The electrodes 12 are horn electrodes, and the arc-forming portions of these are in the form of conical helices, as has been clearly shown in the drawing. The are forms between these; electrodes and is driven by the incoming current of gas, to their outer or free ends, forming a dome or conical shaped are connecting the ends of the electrodes.
The entering air or gas is thus forced through the body of a conical or dome shaped arc and therefore is brought into intimate contact with the are which contributes to efficient conversion of the gaseous elements into the desired products.
What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
In an apparatus for electrical association of gases, a series of horn electrodes disposed about a common central axis and curved to resemble conical helices having-the base of the cone at their free ends.
ed at Seattle, Washington, this 13th Sign day of April, 1917.
BRUNO THOMAS.
