Description
DUNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
oEAEL'Es J. EAMEs," on NEW YORK, N. Y.
lMPRVEWlENT iN PORTABLE GAS APPARATUS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. /l' 19, dated February 17, 1874; application filed February 13, 1874.
To all whom t may concern: E
Beit known that I, CHARLES J. EAMEs, of New York city, N. Y., have invented a Portable Gas Apparatus, of which the following is a specification:
The nature of my invention consists in the construction of a portable gas apparatus, by means of the combination of hydrocarbon vapor and steam generators, Waterseal,7
and vapor condenserror cooler, as will more fully hereinafter appear in my more specic description of its construction and operation, to enable others skilled in the art to make and use it.
My invention is shown in the drawing by a vertical longitudinal section, in which A is the hydrocarbonyapor generator or retort, Which was patented October 15, 1872, and numbered 132,265. B is an ordinary steam genera-tor or boiler, with the usual cocks and indicator, and supplied with Water from any convenient source. C is the smokepipe, for convenience7 sake made common to the retort and boiler. c is the vapor or gas conducting pipe, which conveys the gas from retort A to the furnace imder the boiler B, Where it is superhea-ted by passing' through a coil of pipe, B, in said furnace, and from thence the gas passes through pipe b into the Water-seal D, Where the grosser impurities of the gas or vapor are deposited, While the purified gas passes from thence by pipe c to the condenser or cooler C, Where it passes alternately through the tube d and air-chambers cinto the exit-pipe f, that conducts the gasto the point of combustion. The Waterseal D has a siphon, g, by means of which lthe Water is kept at a certain level notwithstanding the accumulation of impurities in the seal. Condenser or cooler C has partitions h, separating` the several chambers e, andthe Water in the bottom of these chambers, which cools the gas as it passes through them, and collects any impurities in the gas not deposited in the seal D, is kept at the desired height by means of a siphon, d. z' is the steam-conducting pipe, passing from the boiler B to the furnace under retort A, Where it passes through a superheating-coil of pipe, A', `Within the furnace, and thence into the retort, to enter into combination with carbon to form a hydrocarbon vapor or gas, as described in the patent above mentioned.
Cock F is to enable me to let o any condensed steam that may accumulate in the bot= tom of the steam-conducting pipe i, so that only dry steam shall be admitted into the super-heater A.
By the combination of the steam generator or boiler B with superheater Al and retort A, I am enabled to produce an illuminating-gas with its carbon sufficiently diluted With hydrogen gas as will allow of its being consumed in ordinary gas-burners Without special means for supplying air to it, as has heretofore been found necessary in burning hydrocarbon va por as illuminating-gas.
A perfect uniformity in the illuminating power of the gas is possible by means of cocks which command the flow of oil or hydrocarbon into the retort A, and the flow of steam from the boiler to the superheater A and which can be operated as the varying color of a test jet of the gas may indicate the varying inequalities of hydrogen or carbon in the gas.
The superheater or coil of pipe B', under ythe boiler B enables me to more perfectly effeet a combination of hydrogen and carbon that may escape from the retort A not combined as hydrocarbon gas.
By means of the siphons d and g I am enabled to readily dranT ofthe oil or condensed hydrocarbon which may accumulate on the surface of the water in Water seal and condenser, to be returned to the retort A and converted into gas.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The combination of the vapor-generator and steam-superheater with steam-generator and gas-superheater, so as to produce a Xed illuminating-gas from steam and oil, substantially as specified.
2. The combination of the apparatus A and B by means of pipes a and z', as and for the purpose specified.
3. The combination of the apparatus A, B, C, and D by means of pipes and connections, so as to form a portable gas-Works, substantially as described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 13th day of February, 1874.
' CHARLES J. EAMES.
