R. D. PIKE CALCINING APPARATUS Filed Deo. 20. 1922 Cil latented Nov.. 6, 1923.
.UNET TTS ROBERT D. PIKE, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFQRNIA.
caLoNINa APPARATUS.
Application filed December 1922. Serial No. 808,068.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ROBERT D. PIKE, a
a citizen of the United States, residing incity and .county of San Francisco and State of' California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Calcining Apparatus, of which the following is a specifi cation.
'The hereinafter described invention relates to a calciner of the multiple hearth type, designed more particularly for adaptation to the economic calcination of carbonate rocks,` such as magnesite, and calcite, and the invention is more specifically adapted to the requirements of the apparatus for calcining and clinkering of carbonaceous rocks set forth and described in my pending application, Serial No. 572,895, filed in the United States Patent Office under date of July th, 1922, for an apparatus for calci-ningand clinkering, and in which apparatus the hot calcined material is iminediatelv passed through a rotary kiln for clinkcring, thence transferred into and passed through a cooler, the larger portion of the hot air from the cooler being delivered to the calciner for combustion of the fuel therein. while the smaller portion of the hot air from the cooler passes to the rot-ary kiln for combustion of the fuel therein, and the products of combustion from the rotary kiln or clinkering member being delivered therefrom into, the calciner above the zone of combustion.
The objects of the present invention are to provide a calciner of the class mentioned, (of the multiple hearth type wherein the hearths are arranged in staggered relation) to provide a lower hearth so arranged or situated rela-tive to its adjacent upper hearth as to give ample proportions or area for complete combustion of the required fuel at a high temperature; to protect the moving parts from destruction by the high temperature of the flame within the combustion chamber of the calciner; to reduce radiation losses from the flame to the outside atmosphere to a minimum; to provide for the passage of hot gases of combustion or gases of any sort from an outside source, upwardly through an annular flue or wall of the calciner surrounding the lowermost or combustion hearth and discharging same over the neatl hearth above. and so construct the rabble arm working over the lowermost hearth of the series of hearths as to materially prolong the life and the elliciency thereof.
In order to comprehend the invention reference should be had to the accompanying sheets of drawings, wherein:`
Figure l is a broken elevation part sectional View of ay multiple hearth type of calciner with my improvements applied thereto.
Figure 2 is a. view in elevation of one of the rabble arms situated within the combustion chamber for movement over the lowermost heart-h of the calciner.
Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view taken on the line 3 3, Fig. 2 of the drawings and viewed in the direction of the arrow.
Figure 4 is a similar view taken on the line 4-4, Fig. 2 of the drawings and viewed in the direction of the arrow.
Figure 5 is a detailed sectional view illustrating a modified Aform of burner arrangement for the combustion chamber of the apparatus.
In the drawings the numeral 1 is used to indicate the outer shell or casing of the calciner` and 2 an insulating lining interposed between the inner wall surface of the shell or casing 2 and the refractory lining 3 of the calciner. The hearths arranged in superposed staggered relation are indicated by the numeral 4, which hearths are projected inwardly from the refractory wall lining 3 of the calciner. Through the apparatus is extended a vertically disposed rotating shaft or column 5 which is supported and driven by mechanism not shown but of the usual type for imparting rotary movement to said column, which central column supports and carries the rabble arms 6 radially projected therefrom to overlie the hearths 4 of the calciner. The arrangement and disposition of the hearths 4 and equallyT so the rabble arms 6 conform to arrangement and construction as in the calcining apparatus set forth and described in my said pending application No. 572.895 and call for no specific description herein, the said rabble arms being of the hollow type and air being received therein from the rotating hollow column 5 and circulating therethrough for cooling purposes. Like in the calciner of my said pending application the hollow rotating column 5 is protected from the etect of the high temperature of the atmosphere passing upwardly through the calciner by means of the refractory lin- :jeezed mhhie 'teeth l f if fw i il i C il 8 is pieiiei'zihiy formed of hard hurnt 'iieiy heow 'ihe maten fieiimmii een fi he :ff i heaih Je of he upnuieus und h v ihe :Lemon ihereoi ih niaisfiiiii ie: iiik *A h h@ ioe extension and dropped ofi the Tear o #he rehhie tooh Wiih 0.- Qomponeni of movement outward ziions the Said iahhe arm, ihm io he :lione ine faire 'C '1 Each oi me izihhie arms 8 i3 provided 'with an end mein 5,1 L?

By means of the above described invention there is provided a. calciner wherein it is possible to use flames of high thermal intensity or power in the interior of a calciner of the multiple hearth type and in direct contact with the material under treatment without injury to the met-al parts of the apparatus and without incurring undue heat losses to the outside. scribed constructed calciner practically all of the heat of the flames passes to the material under treatment and inasmuch as this heat is of high thermal intensity, the economical and rapid progress of calcination is assui-ed over and above that possible in a calciner of ordinary construction.
The invention has been illustrated in its preferred embodiment, but it will be understood that changes may be made in the details of construction without varying or departing from the nature and spirit of the invention and I wish to be understood as claiming the invention as broadly as the state of the art will ermit.
