J. A. WHITNEY. Refrigerating Apparatus.
No 210,979. Patnted Dec. 17, I878.
N-FETERS, PHOTO-LITHOGRlPNE-R. WASHINGTON D C Unrrno Snares JAMES A. WHITNEY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
EMPROVEMENT IN REFRIGERATING APPARATUS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 210,979, dated December 17, 1878; application filed October 26, 1878.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, J AMES A. WHITNEY, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain Improvements in Refrigerat- 111g Apparatus, of which the following is a specification If atmospheric air or other elastic gas or gases be compressed and then allowed to expand, and in expanding be caused to perform work, or, in other words, he used as a means of force or energy, the air thus used will be reduced in temperature to an extent proportioned to the amount of work performed thatis to say, in proportion to the amount of force or energy expended.
The object of my invention is to provide an effective and comparatively simple means of utilizing this property of air and other elastic gases in the preservation of meats, vegetables, and other perishable articles of food, and for other purposes which may require a low temperature, or the employment of cooled or refrigerated air or gases.
My said invention comprises the combination of a motor operated by compressed air, a fan or blower, and a pipe or passage extendin g from the exhaust of the said motor to the place or structure to be cooled, in such mannor that the expanded air from the motor, reduced in temperature, because of the force or energy expended during its expansion, is mingled with the atmosphere of or within the said place or structure to be cooled; also, the combination of a fan or blower, an air-compressor having its inlet port or passage in communication with the place or structure to be cooled, and a compressed-air motor for operating said fan or blower, and having its exhaust port or passage in communication with the said place or structure to be cooled, whereby the air to be compressed, used for operating the said motor, and reduced in temperature, is drawn repeatedly from and returned to said place or structure, in order that the refrigerating effect of the expanded air be, so far as practicable, retained in said place or structure; also, the combination of a device or appliance-as, for example, the exhaust pipe or passage of a compressed-air motorfor injecting a stream or jet or jets of cold air into the place or structure to be cooled, and a fan or blower for mingling the thus injected cold air with the volume of air of higher temperature contained in the said place or structure, in order that the refrigerating effect may be uniformly distributed throughout said volume of air, and in order that the excessive refrigeration of any one portion of said place or structure may be avoided also, the combination of an air-compressor, an air-pipe leading thereto from the structure to be cooled, a compressedair reservoir, and a compressedair motor having its exhaust port or passage communicating with the structure to be cooled, whereby the most etficient cooperation of the compressor, motor, and fan in cooling and circulating the air within the structure to be cooled is secured; also, in the combination of an air-compressor, a compressedair reservoir, a compressed-air motor having its exhaust port or passage communicating with the structure to be cooled, a system of connected cocks or valves, and an outlet-pipe extending from the pipe or passage which connects the air-compressor with the compressed-air reservoir, whereby provision is made for stopping the compressed-air motor (when the temperature of the place or structure to be cooled has reached the lowest point desired) without stopping the motion of the air-compressor and without accumulating an undue pressure in the compressed-air reservoir; also, the combination of a chamber or passage with the exhaust pipe or passage of a compressed air motor, and a fan or blower for circulating through said chamber or passage the volume of air within the structure to be cooled, whereby provision is made for insuring the effective admixture of the cold" air injected from the exhaust pipe or passage of the compressed-airmotor with a current of air drawn from the place or structure to be cooled, and thus avoiding the direct introduction of the undiluted cold air into the said place or structure and the local freezing effect that might be incident thereto; also, the combination of the heroin before-indicated outlet-pipe, a cook placed to operate in connection with the compressed-air reservoir, an air-compressor, a compressedair reservoir, and a compressed-air motor having its exhaust port or passage communicating with the structure to be cooled, whereby prolimit of reduction of temperature in said place or structure has been reached, direct from the compressor to the place or structure aforesaid; also, the combination of a shifting device with the hereinbeforeiudicated cock of the compressed-air reservoir, a cock provided to the inlet-port of the compressed-air motor, a fan or blower, and a belt or gearing for transmitting power from the said motor to the said fan or blower, whereby provision is made for insuring the operation of the fan or blower froma separate driving-pulley when the compressed-air motor is stopped, in order to prevent the temperature from falling lower than is desired in the place or structure to be cooled.
The drawing is a side view and partial sectional view of an apparatus embracing my said invention.
A is an air-compressor. As shown in the drawing, it is constructed with two compressing-cylinders, the pistons of which are worked by a forked connecting-rod, 7), extending from the piston-rod a" of the air-compressor-to a driving-crank, c, which latter is rotated by the connecting-rod d of a suitable oscillating or other steam engine. The said crank may, however, be driven by a pulley and belt from a separate and distinct motive power. The shaft on which said crank c is formed is provided with a fast pulley, a, and a loose pulley, b. Any appropriate form or construction of air-compressor may be employed in lieu of that herein indicated, it being only requisite that the same be capable of compressing atmospheric air or other elastic gas into an ap propriate receiver, and that it be of suitable shape and size, and, so far as practicable, of simple construction.
As air-compressors, considered by themselves, are well known,no further description of this element in my invention is considered necessary.
B is a strong vessel, into which the air is compressed by the air-compressor, and which constitutes the compressed-air reservoir, from which compressed air is supplied to actuate the compressed-air motor, indicated at G.
' This motor is simply an engine operated by compressed air in lieu of steam; and, inasmuch as compressed-air engines, taken by themselves, are well known, no specific description thereof is here considered necessary.
In the drawing the compressed-air motor is represented as placed upon the compressedair reservoir B, and in'relation with the aeriform contents thereof, in substantially the same manner as steam-engines are frequently arranged in connection with upright steamboilers; but for the purposes of my invention any other variety of engine adapted for the purpose and any other arrangement of the engine with reference to the compressed-air reservoir may be adopted, it being only required that the engine be capable of being operated by compressed air from said reservoir, that it be of suitable shape and size, and, so-far as practicable, of simple construction. This compressed-air motor gives rotary motion to a shaft, 6, on which is a fast pulley, c, and a loose pulley, d.
I G is the room or structure to be cooled. WVhen intended for the preservation of meats or other perishable articles of food the external atmosphere should be practically excluded, and the ceiling, floor, andwalls, so far as may be feasible, made non-conducting as concerns the transmission of heat. At one end of the structure 0 is a vertical passage or narrow chamber, D, the lower end of which opens into the structure 0, as shown at f, and in the upper part of which is a fan or blower, E, the driving-shaft of which is shown at g. The mouth or outlet f of this fan or blower is downward, and to the central or inlet opening of said fan or blower is attached the extremity of a pipe or system of pipes, F, which may be perforated along their length, and which may extend along the ceiling of the structure 0 in any desired direction. The rotation, in the requisite direction, of the fan or blower causes the air contained within the structure 0 to pass into the pipe or pipes F, thence through the fan or blower, thence down through the passage D, and out therefrom through the opening f back into the structure 0, whence it again passes to the pipe or pipes F, and so on in continuous circulation.
The air-compressor forces compressed air to the compressed-air reservoir through a pipe, h, connecting the outlet-passage of the said compressor with the said reservoir. From the pipe h extends a branch pipe, m, the extremity of which opens into the structure 0, as shown at g. At the junction of the branch pipe 121. with the pipe h is a three-way cock, n, which, when turned in one position, closes the branch pipe m and opens communication between the air-compressor and the compressed-air reservoir, and when turned to another position closes communication between the compressor and the reservoir and opens the branch pipe on, so that air from the compressor may pass direct to the structure 0. At r is a cock,
which opens and closes the inlet-passage of the compressed-air motor 0. The cook a has a crank-arm, a, and the cock 1" has a similar crank-arm, b. These connect with a vertical rod, a, in such manner that the two cocks may be worked simultaneously and in unison by the longitudinal movement of the rod. A belt, w, extends from the pulleys a b on the shaft of the crank c of the air-compressor to other pulleys, t" j, on the shaft 9 of the fan or blower. Similarly, a belt, w", extends from the pulleys c d on the crank-shaft e of the compressed-air motor to other pulleys, h m", on the" aforesaid shaft 9 of the fan or blower. The
two belts are shifted simultaneously with reference to the fast and loose pulleys by means of a shipping-lever, G, in order, as occasion may require, to operate the fan or blower from -the compressed-air motor or from the pulley a! of the air-compressor. The shipping-lever G has an arm, y, to which is attached the rod 2:, so that when the belt 10* is brought on the fast pulley c of the compressed-air motor the cock 0" is operated to open the inlet-passage oi the said motor to permit the compressed air to pass thereto from the reservoir B to operate said motor, and simultaneously with this the cook a is turned to permit a further supply of compressed air to be forced into said reservoir from the compressor. When, on the contrary, the belts are shifted to run the fan or blower from the pulley a of the compressor, the flow of compressed air from the reservoir to the motor is shut off by the cock r, and the tlow of compressed air to the reservoir from the com pressor is shut off by the cock a, the branch pipe at being meanwhile opened by the cook a to permit the air from the compressor to pass directinto the structure C.
A pipe or conduit, I, extends from the outlet or exhaust passage of the compressed-air motor (3 into the passage or chamber 1), and may connect in said passage or chamber with a cross-pipe, J, which is provided along its length with numerous holes or openings. A pipe or conduit, K, connects at one end with the pipe or system of pipes F and at the other with the inlet-passage of the air-compressor, so that the air drawn into the air-compressor and com pressed thereby is drawn from the structure Gin other words, from the place to be cooled. Said air, being compressed into the reservoir B to the pressure requisite or desirable for the operation of the compressed-air motor, is then caused to pass to the said motor in substantially the same manner that steam is passed from the steamboiler to a steam-engine, and, actuating the said motor, causes it to drive the fan or blower; and inasmuch as the force or energy consumed during the expansion of the air eliminates a proportionate quantity of heat from the air, it follows that the air expanded and exhausted from the motor after doing its work is very cold. This cold air, issuing into the passage or chamber D, is mixed with the larger volume of air forced through said passage or chamber by the fan or blower, and being thus diluted is passed into the structure U, through the opening f, to cool the said structure without bringing the intensely cold air (issuing from the exhaust of the motor) into freezing contact with the contents of the structure, and without causing the temperature to be materially or injuriously colder at one portion of the structure than at another. In case the reduction of temperature within the structure U becomes so great as to render freezing imminent, the belts w 20* (unless a freezing temperature is desired) are shifted to throw the work of running the fan or blower off from the compressed-air motor and upon the pulley c of the air-compressor, whereupon the cooks n and '1", being actuated, as hereinbefore explained, to shut oft the flow of compressed air from the compressor to the reservoir, and from the reservoir to the motor 0, the motor stops, and the compressor, so to speak, runs idle, and simply forces its air without compression into the structure 0, while the fan or blower, being maintained in motion, continues to circulate the air contained within the said structure, but without the injection of: the colder air. When the tendency to excessive lowering of temperature has been arrested, or when the temperature has risen sufficiently to relieve from apprehension, the simple shifting of the belts again puts the parts in operation to run the fan or blower by means of the compressed-air motor, and to inject the cold exhaust-air from said motor into the passage or chamber D, as before.
When desired, the temperature within the structure 0 may be signaled to an attendant by a suitable thermostat operating in connection with suitable electric signals. For example, the bending or straightening of a curved compound metallic bar, L, by closing the circuits of suitable battery-wires a b 0', may be made to actuate any appropriate electric signal apparatus when either extreme of a given range of temperature is reached.
In order to deprive the compressed air of any excess of moisture, any desired quantity of glycerine may be placed in the lower part of the compressed-air reservoir, suitable means bein g, of course, provided for drawing off and replacing the glycerine when it becomes too dilute.
\Vhen the invention is to be used for the preservation of meats or other perishable articles of food, carbonic acid, nitrogen, or other neutral or innocuous gas may be substituted for or instead of atmospheric air in the workin g or operation of the invention.
\Vhat I claim as my invention is- 1. The combination, for joint operation, of a compressedair motor, a fan or blower, and a pipe or passage leadin g from the exhaust of said motor to the structure to be cooled, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.
2. The combination of a fan or blower, an air-compressor having its inlet port or passage communicating with the structure to be cooled, and a compressed-air mot-or for operating the fan or blower, and having its exhaust port or passage communicating with the structure to be cooled, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.
3. The combination of an apparatus for injecting a stream or jets of cooled air into the structure to be cooled and a fan or blower for mingling said stream or jets of cooled air with the volume of air contained in said structure, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
4. The combination of an air-compressor, an air-pipe leading thereto from the structure to be cooled, a compressed-air reservoir, and a compressed-air motor havipg its exhaust port culating through said chamber or passage'the volume of air Within the structure to be cooled, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.
7. The combination of the outlet-pipe m and cook n with an air-compressor, a compressed-air reservoir, and a compressed-air motor having its exhaust port or passage communicating with the structure to be cooled, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
8. The combination of a shifting device with the cock n of the compressed-air reservoir, the cock 1 of the compressed-air motor, the fan or blower, and a belt or gearing for transmitting power from the said motor to the said fan or blower, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
