' APPARATUS FOR RAREFYING GASES Original Filed Feb. 10, 1926 Patented Jan. 14, 1930 UNITED STATES JENS onrnn BOVING, or WESTMINSTER, EneLAnn' APPARATUS FOR RAREFYING GASES Original application filed February 10, 1926, Serial No. 87,369, and in Great Britain February 27, 1925.
Divided and this application filed February 2, 1928. Serial No. 251,448.
This invention relates to hydraulic apparatus, working on the siphon principle, for rarefying gases. The chief object of the invention is to devise such an apparatus for use -when there is available a body of water, such level water, a downwardly extending dis-- charge conduit which is arranged at the other side of the dam and communlcates wlth the lower level water, said conduits communi- 7 effect, the same'will be more fully described with reference to the accompanying drawing which is a sectional view showing a constructional form of my invention.
A is the upwardly extending supply conduit communicating with the high level water 1 and B is the downwardly extending discharge conduit communicating with the low level water 2, these conduits being formed in the sides of a dam C (which separates the high level water 1 from the low level water 2) so as to constitute a siphon. D is a chamber from which gas (air forex ample) is to be withdrawn, and 01, dare induction pipes which communicate with the interior of the chamber D and the free ends of which are situated, as shown, at the part where the conduits A and B join each other. The portion of the dam between the two cons duits is formed with one or more ports or sets of ports 6 which can be opened and closed atwill and which serve by the aid of one or more doors or valves F operated by a hand wheel F to start the working of the apparatus. When the door or valve F is opened communication is established between the conduits A and B and therefore between the high level water 1 and the low level water 2. The water from the high level rushes through the port Z) into the lower part of the discharge conduit B and in so doing entrains a certain amount of air from the upper part of the conduit B and the chamber D, thereby creating a small and steadily increasing vacuum. This causes the water level to risein both the conduit A and the conduit B and for an apparatus designed to give a moderate degree of vacuum in the chamber D the water level will eventually rise up to the top of the said conduits; the door or valve F is then closed and the siphon action is thus established. Consequently air or gas is sucked from the chamber D through the pipes (Z, cZ-the air or gas passing with the water down the discharge conduit B and escaping to the atmosphere at the low level. For an apparatus designed to give a greater degree of vacuum there may be two or more sets of the aforesaid ports at differentlevels each provided with a door or valve similar to that above described and in this case the opening of the lower set of ports brings the water level up to the next highest set of ports; the latter set of ports are then opened and the lower set of ports closed, this acting being repeated in respect of the other sets of ports (when these are provided) until the water level reaches the top of the conduits A and B.
WhatI claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is A hydraulic apparatus of the class described comprising a dam separating a high level body of water from alow level body of water, said dam having an upwardly extending conduit on one side thereof and communicating with the higher level water, a downwardly extending conduit arranged on the other side of the dam and communicating with the low level Water, said conduits communicating with each other at their upper ends and constituting a siphon, a gas chamber having conduits communicating With the head of the siphon, said dam having a transverse opening communicating the conduits with each other, and a valve for controlling the flow through said opening, said valve havl0 ing a handle extending from one side of the dam soastostart the apparatus Without the necessity of raising a vacuum by external means.
