Definitions

  • Another object of the invention is to provide a container which may, with little difiiculty, be mounted upon a air of wheels and an axle so that it may ea'si y be drawn by an automobile.
  • Fig.1 is a sectional elevation taken through the longitudinal axis of the container.
  • Fig. 2 is a plan view of the container upon the section line 22 of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 3 is a plan view of the top of the container.
  • 1 is a high pressure chamber in which the gas or liquid is to be held.
  • the Wall of this chamber is indicated by 2 and is to be made of the best steel which can be obtained for the purpose.
  • the high pressure chamber is located co-axially'within a bottle-shaped outer shell or casing 3 which may be made of about boiler late steel.
  • the chamber 2 is held by its nee 4 within the shell 3, the extreme end of the neck being threaded into an annular disc 30 which mayi be pressed or. welded into the end of the neo 34 of the shell 3.
  • the outer ends of all of them terminate in clamps 31 which-fit I or H beams 9'as shown in Fig. 1.
  • the rods 5 support the pressure chamber .1v at its lower part on which there. is a boss 320i substantial size.
  • the rods 5 may extend into blind holes tapped in this boss or may otherwise engage it-
  • the rods 6 extend from the I beams 1929. Serial No. 357,802.
  • the wall of the chamber 1 is provided on its exterior surface with a highly polished metallic cover 8 preferably a sheet of aluminum or copper polished on its outer surface, but permissibly nickel-plated or aluminum painted steel.
  • a second sheet 7 likewise prepared on its inn-er surface is attached to the circularly bent I or H beams 9.
  • the space I between the two metal sheets contains a coollng coil 16.
  • the entire space between the shell'3 and the chamber 1 is highly evacuated of gas and is preferably'filled with some heat-insulating incombustible substance (not shown) such as asbestos or kieselguhr, which preferably has first been efiiciently denuded of adsorbed gases.
  • the interior of the chamber 1 may con 'tain silica gel 20 or other incombustible adsorbent capable of occluding large volumes of gas.
  • This material is preferably coarsely granular and lightly set with a binder to Erevent its moving within the chamber 1.
  • said filler 20 performs another function. It prevents stirring of the liquefied gas, saturatin it, and so tends to lessen the rate of heat a and therefore the rate of evaporation of the contained liquid. Screens should be ada ted to the valves to prevent entrance of dust om v the filler 20.
  • Circular I or H beams 9 are arranged to act as reinforcements for the shell 3 and are each fastened to that shell in spaced relation from each other. Braces may be arranged between pairs of beams to maintain the spaced relation and add to the general strengthi desired.
  • Atthe ase of thechamber 1 there is : a cooling or heating coil 22 so arranged as to have a maximum cooling or heating effect on the bottom of the chamber.
  • An inlet 23 to this coil is arranged on one side of the shell 3 'andan outlet 24 on the opposite side.
  • the coil may be connected to 14 is adjustable to actuation at difierent' pressures, by means of the screw 15. Ordinarily it is set for opening at 2000 pounds per square inch pressure. It discharges into the coolin coil 16, expansion and consequent cooling taii ng lace therein and thereabout.
  • valve 17 Said coil there ore tends to reduce the temperature aboutvthe chamber 1 and to lessen the rate of evaporation of the liquid therein, or the further "heating of the contents thereof. Dis harged gas then reaches a valve 17, and exhausts to the air through this valve.
  • the valve 17 In case of distant transporation or storage for considerable time of liquefied gas or gasr under pressure in our container, it maybe of advantage to connect the valve 17 with a a bank of empt cylinders capable of receiving all the gas mitially in the container, and so holdin it instead of letting it be lost to the air'. or extra safeguard the relief valve 18 is provided, this valve being set to open at a pressure slightly higher than that at which the valve 14 opens. The valve'18 communicates to the atmosphere at 19.
  • the valve 14 is of the diaphragm type so that it will function substantially independently at the pressure for which it isset to open regardless of the pressure in the coil 16;' It will also prevent abank. of tanks connected to the valve 17 from emptying out through the. valve 18 after the tank or container 1 is empty or no longer carries the full pressure.
  • the neck of the chamber 1 is compara tively long so that heat conductivity is diminished. It terminates in an outlet valve 12 which is an ordinary valve and also carries a pressure-reducing valve if desired. At the side of the neck 34 of the shell 3 a valve 21 is provided through which the air may be evacuated.
  • the valves 17, 12, and 21 are each provided with heavy steel protecting caps or bells 27 26, and 25 respectively.
  • cap 27 has holes 29, of substantial size, rovided inzits sides so that connection of its interior with the atmosphere is established.
  • the cap 26 may be provided with a ring 28 for hoisting the entire container.
  • the bottom of the shell 3 is preferably dished and the sides'may'be provided with suitable lugs, stirrups, trunnions, or rings whereby the entire container may be carried in an automobile trailer,-th at is to say, be mounted 011;. wheels. Since this presents no difliculty, means for accomplishing the result are notshownr '22, cooling the chamber 1. At the same time,
  • the inside of the shell 3 is evacuated of air throu h the valve 21 if this has not already been one. Liquid oxygen is then allowed to flow into the chamber 1 through the valve 12 until a proper amount has entered. The valve 12 is then closed and'the cap 26 replaced- The container is disconnected from the other cylinders at the cooling outlets.
  • our container may carry in the space between the shell 3 and the pressure chamber 1 beside the optional filler of heat insulating properties, an easily liquefiable or condensable gas, preferably of high density.
  • an easily liquefiable or condensable gas preferably of high density.
  • the container alone will be delivered into a customers hands. It will then be connected to a reducing valve at the valve 12 and the contained gas used, or it can be connected to a bank of cylinders of ordinary design at the valve 12,. and said cylinders filled with gaseous contents evaporating from the chamber 1. If it is desired in either case to accelerate .the evaporation or 'efliux of gas from the chamber 1, the heating coil orresistor 22 may be used. Ordinarily said coil will be used on account. of the fact that the normal influx of heat through the walls of the container is much too small to yield much. gas by evaporation. If preferred, the bank of cylinders may'be connected to the valve 17 instead of the valve 12.
  • the safety valve 18 assures that the cylinders will not receive an excessive pressure in any case, whether the heating means 22 is used ornot. More than one container may be connected to the same bank of cylinders, and these containers may have their heating coils 22 connected in series plr parallel to the same source of heating uid.
  • Our container as above described has large' right to prevent spilling. Also, it carries a higher temperature Within, due to the higher pressure at which the safety valve is set to open.

ROBERT G. WULFF, OF LOS ANGELES, AND
bHRISTOPHE-R V. MOQDY, F HUNT1NGTON PARK, CALIFORNIA CONTAINER nos. comrnnssnn on meunmm GAS Application filed April 24 built in large sizes and when so built is safe,
thermally efficient and economical in use and transportation.
Another object of the invention is to provide a container which may, with little difiiculty, be mounted upon a air of wheels and an axle so that it may ea'si y be drawn by an automobile.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the preferred form of our invention.
' Fig.1 is a sectional elevation taken through the longitudinal axis of the container.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the container upon the section line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the top of the container.
In the'drawing, 1 is a high pressure chamber in which the gas or liquid is to be held.
The Wall of this chamber is indicated by 2 and is to be made of the best steel which can be obtained for the purpose. The high pressure chamber is located co-axially'within a bottle-shaped outer shell or casing 3 which may be made of about boiler late steel. The chamber 2 is held by its nee 4 within the shell 3, the extreme end of the neck being threaded into an annular disc 30 which mayi be pressed or. welded into the end of the neo 34 of the shell 3. I The high pressure chamber 1 is also supported within the shell 3 by rods 5 and 6, of which there ma be any desired number, preferably three 0 each. These rods are com= paratively long and slender to lessen heat conduction, and may be insulated at'one end by a poor heat conductor. The outer ends of all of them terminate in clamps 31 which-fit I or H beams 9'as shown in Fig. 1. The rods 5 support the pressure chamber .1v at its lower part on which there. is a boss 320i substantial size. The rods 5 may extend into blind holes tapped in this boss or may otherwise engage it- The rods 6 extend from the I beams 1929. Serial No. 357,802.
chamber 1 and may extend into blind holes threaded in the edge of said disc. All of the rods 5 and 6' may be provided with turnbuckles (not shown) for tightening. v
The wall of the chamber 1 is provided on its exterior surface with a highly polished metallic cover 8 preferably a sheet of aluminum or copper polished on its outer surface, but permissibly nickel-plated or aluminum painted steel. A second sheet 7 likewise prepared on its inn-er surface is attached to the circularly bent I or H beams 9. The space I between the two metal sheets contains a coollng coil 16. The entire space between the shell'3 and the chamber 1 is highly evacuated of gas and is preferably'filled with some heat-insulating incombustible substance (not shown) such as asbestos or kieselguhr, which preferably has first been efiiciently denuded of adsorbed gases.
The interior of the chamber 1 may con 'tain silica gel 20 or other incombustible adsorbent capable of occluding large volumes of gas. This material is preferably coarsely granular and lightly set with a binder to Erevent its moving within the chamber 1. e'sides reducing the efiective pressure required to accommodate a given quantity of gas within the chamber 1, said filler 20 performs another function. It prevents stirring of the liquefied gas, saturatin it, and so tends to lessen the rate of heat a and therefore the rate of evaporation of the contained liquid. Screens should be ada ted to the valves to prevent entrance of dust om v the filler 20.
Circular I or H beams 9 are arranged to act as reinforcements for the shell 3 and are each fastened to that shell in spaced relation from each other. Braces may be arranged between pairs of beams to maintain the spaced relation and add to the general strengthi desired. I
Atthe ase of thechamber 1 there is :a cooling or heating coil 22 so arranged as to have a maximum cooling or heating effect on the bottom of the chamber. An inlet 23 to this coil is arranged on one side of the shell 3 'andan outlet 24 on the opposite side.
ission,
9 to a ring disc 33 encircling the neck 4 of the By this means the coil may be connected to 14 is adjustable to actuation at difierent' pressures, by means of the screw 15. Ordinarily it is set for opening at 2000 pounds per square inch pressure. It discharges into the coolin coil 16, expansion and consequent cooling taii ng lace therein and thereabout.
1 Said coil there ore tends to reduce the temperature aboutvthe chamber 1 and to lessen the rate of evaporation of the liquid therein, or the further "heating of the contents thereof. Dis harged gas then reaches a valve 17, and exhausts to the air through this valve. In case of distant transporation or storage for considerable time of liquefied gas or gasr under pressure in our container, it maybe of advantage to connect the valve 17 with a a bank of empt cylinders capable of receiving all the gas mitially in the container, and so holdin it instead of letting it be lost to the air'. or extra safeguard the relief valve 18 is provided, this valve being set to open at a pressure slightly higher than that at which the valve 14 opens. The valve'18 communicates to the atmosphere at 19.
The valve 14 is of the diaphragm type so that it will function substantially independently at the pressure for which it isset to open regardless of the pressure in the coil 16;' It will also prevent abank. of tanks connected to the valve 17 from emptying out through the. valve 18 after the tank or container 1 is empty or no longer carries the full pressure.
The neck of the chamber 1 is compara tively long so that heat conductivity is diminished. It terminates in an outlet valve 12 which is an ordinary valve and also carries a pressure-reducing valve if desired. At the side of the neck 34 of the shell 3 a valve 21 is provided through which the air may be evacuated. The valves 17, 12, and 21 are each provided with heavy steel protecting caps or bells 27 26, and 25 respectively. The
cap 27 has holes 29, of substantial size, rovided inzits sides so that connection of its interior with the atmosphere is established. The cap 26 may be provided with a ring 28 for hoisting the entire container.
f The bottom of the shell 3 ispreferably dished and the sides'may'be provided with suitable lugs, stirrups, trunnions, or rings whereby the entire container may be carried in an automobile trailer,-th at is to say, be mounted 011;. wheels. Since this presents no difliculty, means for accomplishing the result are notshownr '22, cooling the chamber 1. At the same time,
the inside of the shell 3 is evacuated of air throu h the valve 21 if this has not already been one. Liquid oxygen is then allowed to flow into the chamber 1 through the valve 12 until a proper amount has entered. The valve 12 is then closed and'the cap 26 replaced- The container is disconnected from the other cylinders at the cooling outlets.
In a modified form of the invention our container may carry in the space between the shell 3 and the pressure chamber 1 beside the optional filler of heat insulating properties, an easily liquefiable or condensable gas, preferably of high density. The advantage of this is that there need not then be a vacuum drawn on the said space for the-purpose of heat insulation. Said space wouldinitially be filled at one atmosphere absolute pressure with said dense gas when the container is substantially at room temperature throughout. Afterwards, when cooling is applied to the coil 22, said gas condenses substantially to liquid or a solid of negligible vapor pressure, a high vacuum automatically resulting without mechanical agencies. ibis makes it possible to dispense with the cuum when the container is not cold and is.not in use. The time available for air to leak in is so lessened, since a vacuum exists only when the container is cold. Y
Further, since cooling will condense the dense gas filler, any residual air may be easily valve21 and so separated from the dense gas, thus avoiding rejection of the latter until filled with a new charge of gas. Carbon dioxide, sulphur 'hexafluoride, sulphur, dioxide and hydrocarbon gases such :as butane are suitable for the use indicated.
Ordinarily the container alone will be delivered into a customers hands. It will then be connected to a reducing valve at the valve 12 and the contained gas used, or it can be connected to a bank of cylinders of ordinary design at the valve 12,. and said cylinders filled with gaseous contents evaporating from the chamber 1. If it is desired in either case to accelerate .the evaporation or 'efliux of gas from the chamber 1, the heating coil orresistor 22 may be used. Ordinarily said coil will be used on account. of the fact that the normal influx of heat through the walls of the container is much too small to yield much. gas by evaporation. If preferred, the bank of cylinders may'be connected to the valve 17 instead of the valve 12. The safety valve 18 assures that the cylinders will not receive an excessive pressure in any case, whether the heating means 22 is used ornot. More than one container may be connected to the same bank of cylinders, and these containers may have their heating coils 22 connected in series plr parallel to the same source of heating uid.
Our container as above described has large' right to prevent spilling. Also, it carries a higher temperature Within, due to the higher pressure at which the safety valve is set to open. This is an advantage in lessening the problem'of heat insulation, and consequent loss of gas onstorage or transportation.
