LOUIS E. SCHUCH, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO.
STEAM-CONDENSER AND OIL-SEPARATOR FOR STEAM-DRIVER' VEHICLES.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 10, 1920.
Application filed March- 20, 1919. Serial No. 283,754.
' which the following is a specification.
An object of my invention is to produce an improved steam condenser for steam Adriven automobiles, in which the exhaust steam from the engine of such vehicles is condensed more rapidly and efficiently than in other automobile steam condensers known to me.
A further object is to produce a combined steam condenser and oil separator for automobiles, in which the accumulated oil from the exhaust of the engine is caught and provision made for draining it from the condensed water at will before the water is fed into the steam generator for revaporization.
Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of my improved steam condenser and oil separator.
Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional elevation of my improved steam condenser and oil separator.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional view of a detail of my invention.
My improved condenser consists of a casing 4 shaped substantially like the usual water cooling radiators of gasolene propelled automobiles and having somewhat the same construction.
A space 5 is provided at the top of the condenser by having a bottom 6 which forms a header for a great number of small condensing tubes 7, the lower ends of which are located in a header formed by a sheet 8. Between headers 6 and 8V a considerable number of radiating plates l9 are located in spaced relation for aiding in the condensation of steam through the tubes 7. The space 5 is provided with a number of tubes 10 also for the purpose of aiding in condensing the steam which should enter the space. l
Below header 8 a large space 11 is provided for the accumulation of water resulting from the condensation of the steam.
.This space is intercepted by a number of tubes 12 which, like tubes 10, aid in cooling, but are for the purpose of keeping the water of condensation cool.
Entering the condenser at its top is the Vvertical tubes connecting the chambers, a
steam exhaust pipe 13. This pipe passes down at the rear of the condenser and terminates in a forwardly extending portion 111 to which an elongated steam exhaust nozzle v 15 is attached. This nozzle permits of the expansion of the steam within its chamber 16v so that the-steam issues gradually through the elongated openings 17 and 18 beneath the deflecting cover 19, as shown in Fig. 3. The water of condensation from the tubes 7 in falling onto the cover 19 will drip therefrom as also shown at 2O in Fig. 3, without entering the exhaust nozzle.
At the side of the chamber 11 I'have pro- Vvided a stop cock 21 for draining the oil 22 which accumulates on the surface of the water, therefrom, and at a convenient point, such as the back of the condenser, T have provided a sight oil and water gage 23:l
Condensed water is taken from the condenser through a pipe 24 at the bottom thereof, and drainage of the condenser is facilitated by a stop cock 25 also at the bottom.
Having thus described my invention what I claim is 1. A steam condenser comprising a casing having a chamber at the upper end thereof, a chamber at the lower end thereof, vertical tubes connecting the chambers, a steam nozzle located at the lower ends of the tubes within the lower chamber, cooling plates surrounding the tubes and in spaced relation to each other, and horizontal tubes in the upper and lower chambers adapted to permit the passage of air through them.
2. A combined steam condenser and oil separator for automobiles comprising a casing having a chamber at the lower end thereof, a chamber at the upper end thereof,
steam nozzle located at the lower ends of the tubes within the lower chamber, horizontal tubes in the upper and lower chambers, adapted to permit the passage of air through them, and a valve located in the casing communicating with the lower chamber and located between the nozzle and horizontal tubes therein.
In witness whereof, I allix my 'signature in the presence of two witnesses.
