K. BRUNZEL MEANS FOR DRYING AIR IN MINES Filed June 25. 1926 Patented Feb. 7, 1928.
KARL BRUNZEL, F COI BLENZ, GERMANY.
MEANS- FOR DRYING AIR IN MINES.
Application filed June 25, 1926, Serial No. 118,606, and in Germany -July 1, 1925.
As itis well known, the hot temperature of the air in mines and its great amount of moisture are'injurious to the miners working capability and health. All-attempts to remedy this, are limited to provisions for decreasing the temperature. It is true that it has also been proposed to absorb the moisture from the air but only for the purpose only of making the cooling ofthe air by l0 rinsing with water more effective.
The present invention relates to improved means for decreasing the amount of moisture of the air in mines with the aid of water-absorbing substances, such as calcium l5 chloride (0e01,), magnesium chloride (MgCl or the like, for the purpose of making the miners'more able to work without injuring their health. To this end, the water-absorbing substances are disposed" in broad layers in a closable receptacle'at the working-places where the air is to be dried, said receptacle being opened at the beginning of the shift, so that the air can come in contact with the water-absorbing substances, and again closed at the termination of the shift, in order to avoid an unnecessary consumption of material and a drying-out of the walls in the mines.
Preferably, a mine truck can be used for the purpose in question, such-as illustrated by way of example on the accompanying drawing, in a Said truck perspective side view thereof. 1 is closed all around while its two end walls 2 are hinged thereto so that they can be opened. In the interior of the plates 3 are h posed fashion, substances as a truck, a plurality of detachable perforated orizontally arranged in superon which the water-absorbing re placed in broad layers. The
lowermost parts 2 of the two end walls 2 are integral with the truck, so that at the bottom of the latter a collector 4 is formed,
into which flows the water absorbed by, and mixed with the salts of, said substances. A tap 5 at the bottom of said collector serves to let-off the water from time to time. 6
indicates a closure for keeping the end walls 2 closed.
What I claim, is
Apparatus for drying air in mines with tion thereon stances.
In testimon my hand.
of broad layers of said sub-- y whereof I have hereunto set KARL BRUNZEL.
