\ This invention relates to a cooling orgrefrigera-y tion system or apparatus, and more particularlyA to such an apparatus adaptable for use in a system for catalytic alkylating of hydrocarbons, in .which a condensing catalyst'is employed to promote the ,I reaction between the iso-parailinic and the oleto a minimum. Such a process, therefore, re-
quires the use of mechanical refrigeration to remove the heat generated by the reaction and to maintain the temperature of the acid hydrocarbonemulsion` at the desired degree.
In carrying out such a process it has also been found desirable to provide Ymeans for circulating an excess of iso-paraiiinic to olene and to obtainI a high rate of flow of the hydrocarbon acid emulsion to promote thorough mixing, ana also to facilitate cooling.
l An object ofthe present invention is to provide a mechanical refrigeration apparatus which will .bring about'a high degree of heat transfer rateA between the hydrocarbon emulsion and the refrigerant to maintain the temperature of the acid hydrocarbon emulsion at the desired degree, and
provide a high rate of ilow of the emulsion, which apparatus is simple in construction and of 'low initial andv operating cost -in comparison with approved equipment now employed for the same or analogous purposes.
Another object of the present invention is the provision of a refrigerating orcooling apparatus .which is compact, provides ease andy simplicity of control, and reduces friction losses of refriger.-
ant flow to a minimum thereby reducing the p'ower consumption of the unit to maintain a pre- .'determinedheat transfer relation between the cooling or refrigerating agent and the fluid to be cooled. y V
With'these and. other objects in rview, as may appear from the accompanying specification, the
' invention consists of various features of construction'and combination o f parts, which willbe rst described in connection with the accompanying drawings, showing a refrigeration or `cooling system of a preferred form embodying the invention,
and the features forming the invention will be specifically pointed out in the In the drawings: Figure 1 is a diagrammatic view showing the improved cooling or refrigerating apparatus in a system for catalytic alkylating of hydrocarbons.

In the process of catalytic alkylating of hydrocarbons, in which a condensing catalyst is employed .to promote the reaction between the isoparafne and the oleilnic hydrocarbon which is employed asl the feed stock to produce an alkylatedA` iso-paraflinic hydrocarbon suitable for use in an 'I aviation motor fluid, the fresh hydrocarbon is fed through a suitable inlet or feeding means I intof the inlet space 2 of the combined mixing actor.. Thecombined return and outlet chamber and inlet chamber 3 formed at one end of the shell 4 -of the reactor 5'by the tube head 6. The catalyst or acid, such as sulphuric acid is delivered to the inlet space 2 of the ,combined inlet and mixing chamber 3 throughl a suitable inlet pipe 'I. The combined inlet and mixing chamber.
3 has a Vconical partition 8 therein which divides the chamber/ into the inlet space 2 and the circu lating space 9. The partition 8 is provided with an lopening I0 vwhich establishes communication between the inlet space 2 and the circulation space 9. A combined pumpingand mixing im;
peller I I is positioned in the opening Ill` and ity may be rotated byv any suitable type of primey the l mover such as anele-ctrical motor shown at I2.
'I'he fresh hydrocarbon which is projected towardsthe impeller II by a\nozzle I4 is partially mixed with the acid catalyst in the space 2, and
' it is more thoroughly mixed bythe action of .the impeller II which draws the hydrocarbon and catalyst from the space 2'. and discharges it into the circulating space 9.

The tubes I5 are arranged in an annular set as clearly shown in Figure 2 of the drawings, and a plurality of smaller return tubes I9 extend through the cooling or evaporating chamber I8 and establish communication between the return chamber I6 and the inlet space 2 of the combined inlet and mixing chamber 3 so that the l emulsion or mixture of hydrocarbon and-acid catalyst flows from the circulating space 9 through the tubes I5 linto the return chamber i vI8 and part of it returns through the tubes I9y to the inlet space 2 where it-is mixedwith the incoming fresh hydrocarbon and acid catalyst 3 and recrculated.
Part of the alkylate passes from the combined outlet and return chamber I6 through the outlet 20 to the separator 2I where the acid catalyst As. hereinbefore pointed out in a lprocess of this type for producing an alkylated iso-paraillnic hydrocarbon `suitable for use in an aviation motor fuel, the reaction which takes place is exothermic and the best results, so as to reduce polymerization losses to a minimum, is provided when the reaction is conducted at a temperature of from 30 F. to 50 F.; therefore, refrigeration mechanism is provided in combination with the reactor to provide for the cooling or refrigerating l of the emulsion of hydrocarbon and acid catalyst during its circulation through the reactor 5.
` A closed refrigeration system embodying the reactor is shown in Figures 1 and 2 of the drawings and it embodies a centrifugal compressor 25 which may be of the type of compressor shown in U. S.

The employment of the centrifugal compressor in the-system has numerous advantages among which are the compactness of the refrigerating unit, the ease and simplicity of control'of the unit and consequently f control of thecooling by control of the refrigerant delivered to the reactor, and further it provides a very material reduction in friction loss of refrigerant flow overthe frictional losses which are caused by the use A friction loss in the refrigerant flow/represents heat transfer loss and increased horse power to maintain. a predetermined heat transfer and consequently the useof the centrifugal'compressor reduces thepowen consumption of the system. Further., there is a marked advantage in the `initial cost of a unit employing a centrifugal compressor in lieu of one employing a reciprocating compressor, and also the useof the centrifugal compressor permits an individual. refrigerating unit for each -reactor in an alkylating plant, which is an economical feature and also provides a better unitary control in a battery of reactors, in that, in lieu of throttling refrigerant flow as would be required by the em- .ployment of a single reciprocating compressor for a battery of reactors, control of the compres- The suction of the centrifugal compressor 25V i is connected. through a suitable connection 26` a part of the tubes I5 and into the passageway x 21 `from which it enters the suction of the cen;

The centrifugal compressor 25 delivers the compressedvaporized refrigerant to a condenser 28 of any approved constructionwhich may be -purchased upon the open market. The compressed vaporized .refrigerant is condensed in the condenser 28,`and the condensed liquid refrigerant` passes from the condenser 28 through the suitable connection 29 into the cooling or` evapora' tion chamber I3 of the reactor 5.

Withthe steam turbine drive for the centrifugal compressor 25, a diagrammatic Figure 1 of the drawings shows a temperature control, for controlling the temperature of the emulsion in the, reactor by controlling the speed of operation of the turbine 35 and consequently controlling the speed of operation of the centrifugal compressor 25 and the quantityof refrigerant delivered to the reactor. y I A thermal bulb 36 of any approved type is inserted into the return and outlet chamber I6 and it is connected to. a temperature cut-off switch 31 of any approved construction which Vfrom the pressure actuated regulating valve 4I depending upon the operation of the solenoid 38.
The liquid refrigerant overflows fromthe trough` 29 into the lower part of the `shell 4 and sub- @merges thereturn tubes I9 in the lower nest.
