IMPROVEMENT IN CONVEYNCE OF LIQUIDS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 190,902, dated May 15, 1877 application filed March 7, 1877.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GARNET W. REMSEN, of Brooklyn, Kings county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and' useful Improvements in the Conveyance of Liquids, of which the following is a description:
These improvements are admirably adapted to pipe-lines through which petroleum is conveyed from place to place, as they provide for conveying it great distances without tanking or retanking, and consequently without rendering it liable to evaporation from exposure to the atmosphere, or the great danger of loss incidentto conliagration from lightning. These improvements consist in eecting the conveyance of liquid through the pipes or conduits by imparting to it at intervals additional impulse in its transit; also, in insuring a continuous flow -by compensating for irregularities therein; also, in establishing opposing currents, whereby the air and gases accompany ing the liquid in its transit are concentrated or compacted so that the liquid will more nearly, if not completely, fill the pipe or conduit, and enable the motor or motors employed to impel it to act effectively, thereby enabling a larger volume of liquid to be impelled through a smaller pipe than is used in other processes of conveying liquids, and at a greater speed 5 also, in combinations of parts for use in the conveyance of liquid, whereby great economy and efficiency are obtained, and provision is afforded for yielding under excessive pressures.
The accompanying drawing illustrates one mechanical arrangement of parts embodying my improvements.
Figure 1 is a plan thereof. Fig. 2 is a perspective view ofthe same, and Fig. 3 is a detail view of a cushion or compensating pulsometer embodied therein.
Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in al1 the figures.
A A designate the main line of pipe or conduit for the conveyance ot liquid, and into which the liquid may be conducted from a tank or tanks where it is collected, or from any other suitable source. The parts which I shall now describe may be combined with the main line near the source of the liquid, for impelling it along the same, and at intersteam-pump, S, which is shown as the motor for impelling the liquid, and through which the liquid is intended to pass in order to derive its impulse. D is a branch pipe or con-v duit, provided with cocks E and E', and shown as provided with a section, O, of large diameter, and extending from the main line, and preferably, for reasons hereafter to be described, from opposite to the branch pipe or conduit B. This branch pipe or conduit D constitutes a switch and relay, having several important functions. Extending from opposite the supply end A of the main line isa pipe or conduit, F, provided with cocks G and H, between which, in a cylinder or section, l, is a device, J K, forming an elastic cushion, adapt-ed to yield and relieve the main pipe or conduit when the liquid therein acquires so great a pressure that it might occasion the bursting thereof, were no relief provided for. This device J K also serves as a compensating pulsometer, and, as represented, consists of two cylinders, which are free to move within the cylinder or pipe section I, iit one within the other, may be forced apart by a spring, L, or equivalent force, and are limited in their movement away from one another bya rod, M, preferably having an adjustable connection with one of the two parts, which may consist of a nut or nuts, N, capable of being shifted along the screw-threaded portion of the rod M, to afford a greater or cause a less movement of the parts, or to regulate the compression of the spring or its equivalent, and its potency. This device J K and cylinder I may be reversed when worn or injured at one end.
The cocks O, E, and G, and a cock, W. on the delivery end of the main line being open, and the cocks E' and H being closed, liquid passing along the supply end A of the main line is apt to act directly on the device J K, owing to its position, whereupon the component parts of this device are compressed together to an extent due to the impact of the liquid against it. If the flow of the liquid is constant and its pressure uniformi the parts of the device J K remain in this condition; but, if, on the contrary, its flow is irregular and its pressure varies, owing to a wave-like motion, due to any cause, such as the intermittent action of a pump, the parts of the said device, upon every reduction of pressure, are forced apart, and at such times impel the liquid backward, concentrate, and compact any air or gases that may accompany it, so that the liquid more nearly, if not completely, lls the pipe, wherefore the said device forms a pulsometer, compensating` for irregularitities in the ow.
It is obvious that the parts of this device AJ K will be compressed so as to yield sufciently to afford immediate relief to the main line of the pipe or conduit upon any sudden increase in the pressure of the liquid. The liquid being turned back by the device J K is apt to t-urn into the branch pipe or conduit- B leading` to the steam-pump S or into the switch and relay D. If it enters the pipe or conduit B between the strokes of the pump any air or gas which may have previously accompanied it is compressed or compacted by the pulsations due to the Weight of the column of liquid in the upright portion P, and is additionally compressed and compacted. If, on the contrary, it enters the switch and relay D the liquid with air and gases therein forming an elastic cushion acts upon it at every diminution of pressure, pulsates, compresses and compacts the air and gases accompanying the liquid additionally. Therefore, air and gases which may have accompanied the liquid thus far are caused to escape at the point of least resistance, and the liquid is enabled to enter the steam-pump S in a regular, or nearly regular, stream, more nearly, if not completely, lling the pipe, wherefore the pump acts upon it much more effectively, and a larger volume of liquid may be forced through a smaller pipe than is ordinarily used in pipe-lines, and may be impelled therein at a greater speed. This is of the utmost importance, as the quantity of liquid delivered at the terminus of the main line is enormously increased. Hitherto, in pipe-lines for liquids, the intermittent action of the pumps employed to impel the liquids has been always liable to create a wavelike flow of the liquid, which prevents the pipe from being properly filled. My improvements just described are designed to obviate this. The large section O of the switch and relay D is employed to accommodate a volume of liquid air and gases sufficiently great to make it serve as an elastic cushion. The same result might be attained by increasing the length of the switch and relay, and there are several reasons which would make this a very desirable modiiication.
To additionally insure the compacting or expulsion of air and gases accompanying the liquid before its entrance into the pump I prefer to combine with the upright portion P of the pipe B a downwardly-extending portion, Q, of such length that the two portions P Q will form asiphon and cause the downward flow of the liquid between the strokes of the pump. To accomplish this the pump will need to be arranged lower than the main line A Af. In some instances this feature will be rendered unnecessary by the natural formation of the land near the junction of the main line with the pump. I also prefer, at thejunction of the branch pipe B with the suctionpipe R of the pump S, to arrange a well, T, into which, between the strokes of the pump, liquid will fall, so that at every stroke of the pump it will have two sources for supplyone from the branch pipe, another from the Well.
In order to provide for working the valve of the liquid-cylinder of the pump, in case the ordinary means for working the same shall prove ineffectual, I preferably conduct steam through a suitable pipe, U, under control of a cock, a, where it may operate upon the valve to free it. This pipe may conduct the steam into the liquid-supply pipe of the pump, and then if the cock O is closed, so that the liquid cannot be forced back, it may be forced against the valve to free it. An advantage is gained by connecting a steam-pipe to the supply-pipe, as it serves as a heater, Which, in pumping petroleum, has a tendency to so liquefy this article as to enable it to pass through the pump more freely.
V designates the delivery-pipe of the pump. It is preferably arranged at an incline, so that the liquid impelled by the pump will be compiloted-t'. e., freed from the wave-like iiow caused by the intermittent action of the pump during its ascent before reaching the delivery end A of the main line. This pipe is provided with a cock, X, which, of course, has to be opened during the operation of the pump.
When these combinations of parts, or the most important of them, are used to impart additional impulse to liquid previously impelled by another pump, it may happen that, owing to the rst pump being worked faster than the second, it will supply the liquid faster than required. In this case the cock E is opened partially or wholly, and the surplus liquid flows through it and into the delivery end A' of the main line. Thus, Where a number of pumps are used, switches and relays, of the character of the one herein described, will aiford provison for obtaining the maximum amount of work from each, and enable each to assist the others.
When, owing to any accident which may have befallen the pump, or because it is desirable to leave it, its operation is desired to be suspended, the cock C controlling its suction-pipe, and the cock X controlling its delivery-pipe, are closed, and the cock E' controlling communicating between the switch and relay D and the delivery end A of the main line is opened, whereupon the liquid may flow on around the switch and relay, and through the main line, under the impulse which it may have previously acquired.
The cock H is intended to be opened in case of accident. When open, the liquid, acting on the device J K back wardly, may cushion upon it, and be ai'orded such relief as to save`(in the reverse direction to that formerly referred to) the pipe from injury. The device J K forms therefore an adjustable, reversible, double-acting elastic cushion and compensating pulsometer.
To afford additional security against the bursting` of the main line or pipe, 1 prefer to combine with it a relief device, which may consist of an upright pipe, Y, provided with a valve capable of opening under excessive pressure, to allow of the escape through an outlet, b, of some of the liquid. This valve may with advantage be so constructed, for instance, by combining with it a spring and a nut, o, and a screw-thread on the valve-spindle d, as to provide for regulating the pressure under which it Will open. Its spindle may, with advantage, be so combined with an audible alarm,'a steam-Whistle, or other device, that it will give warning of the accumulation of pressure, and it may be so regulated as to give warning whenever the pressure becomes so great as to make it desirable to allow some liquid to iiow through the switch and relay.
, This relief device may be opened at any time to ascertain Whether the liquid is flowing under the impulse derived from a previous motor.
By my invention I obviate the necessity for tanking and retanking liquid in transportation, which, in the case of petroleum, occasions serious losses through evaporation, and oftentimes, through conflagrations, ofimmense quantities from a stroke of lightning, or other accident. I provide for conveying` economically greater quantities at greater speed; and I provide for relieving the apparatus employed from danger of bursting.
