29. These bosses and plate 28 are drilled and tapped for threaded engagement with the rear of a nozzle 3|! to which a gaseous fluid such as ure 3 and is held against rearward movement A barrel 32 is fitted into each sleeve 25 in the inner end thereof as illustrated in Figby a strip 33 abutting the inside of cover plate 29. The forward or inner end of each barrel 32 projects through the inner end of sleeve 25 and througha registering opening 34 in inner wall 2|]. The grinding jets, which also recirculate, of this mill comprise the nozzles 3|] with f their associated barrels 32 respectively. Each grinding jet has an annular inlet 35 which with the space adjacent recess 26 in sleeve 25 constitutes the inspiration zone therefor. These four grinding jets have a common point of intersection on the vertical axis of the mill as may be seen in Figure 6.
' A feed jet casing 33 projects into chamber 2| through plate 22. Casing 35 is downwardly'inclined and is directed substantially in the direction of said common point of intersection and so as to clearthe projecting inner ends of the adjacent barrels 32. Like barrels 32, the lower end of casing 36 is reduced in diameter to form a reduced V enturi-like throat 31 therethrough lined with a suitable temperature and wear-resistant material 38. A nozzle 39 extends downwardly f and centrally inside "casing 33 having a flange to which a cover plate 40 is bolted as illustrated in Figure.v 1. Longitudinal, radially extending vanes 36a center the jet end of nozzle 39 inside casing 36 where it is held by a set screw collar attached to plate 40. A pipe connection 4| sup plies superheated steam or compressed air to nozzle 39 through a pipe union 4|a. A feed inlet zone 42 behind throat 37 is the inspiration'zone for the feed jet comprising nozzle 39 and the barrel defined by casing 35 and material 38. An
air-intake pipe 43, which normally'is left open,
Q is connectedat an angle, as shown in Figure 2, to casing 36 and admits air adjacent feed inlet zone 42. The air which enters intake pipe 43 chamber.
4 confined by the relatively volume of the Outlets from the chamberare provided by recirculating passages 54, of which there .are two .in number in the embodiment shown.
These passages defined by the respective ducts '55. extend radially away from impact chamber 2|, Intermediate walls 29 and I7, passages 54 and ducts 55 fork or divide and connect the grinding jets on each side thereof respectively.
Ducts 55 are divided horizontally for assembly and are assembled by bolting through the registering flanges 56. The outer ends of ducts 55 terminate in collars 51 which surround andclose the respective recesses'23 so that impact chamber 2|-is directly connected to the inspiration zones 35 which constitute terminals for the" forked divisions of the 'passag'e's 54. Passages 54 are soproportioned that the radial portions'thereof leading from chamber 2|"aresubstantially'of twice the cross sectional area as compared with the cross sectional area of either curvilinear branch thereof continuing into inspiration zone- 35. In this way, a relatively high velocity'of streams of gaseous fluid and suspended material is maintained in a uniform manner, keeping impact chamber 2| substantially free of any tendency to collect any solid material therein.
Four uptake pipes 58 suitably sectioned as shown-in Figure 3 for assembling'ease'connect inspiration zones 35 throughregistering openings in collars 5'1 and plate l9 with a corresponding number of tangential'inlet openings 59 fastened to the underside of top plate l3 in an annular arrangement. The cross sectional area of each uptake pipe 58 is usually somewhat larger than the cross sectional area of thebranch of duct 55 connected to the corresponding inspiration zone 35. Hence, the velocities in passages 54 are sufiiciently greater than the velocities'in uptake is clean having been filtered by passing through" air filter l5. A horizontal screw conveyor conduit 44 opens into casing'36 at inlet zone 42 and is welded to casing 36.
Conduit 44 extends outwardly through a corresponding opening in casing l0 and terminates in a bearing cover plate 42 bolted to the outer flange 46 of conduit 44. As shown, conduit 44'is made up in sections for the ready disassembling thereof in case reipairs or replacements are needed; Conduit 44 is supported at its inner end in a saddle block 4| affixed to plate 19. A saddle pedestal 43 supports the outer end of conduit 44. A flared hopper 49 opens into the top of the outer end of conduit 44 and coarse particles of coal or the i like to beground are fed into hopper 49. These particles are conveyed to feed inlet zone42 by a screw conveyor 50 which fits tightly in con- ;duit .44. The shaft 5| of screw conveyor 53 is ijournaled in cover plate 45 and terminates at pipes 58 to cause material tobe ground which is coarser than pulverulent material ofan adjustably selected particle size to pass into the inlets 35 of the grindingjets for recirculation and regrinding. This recirculation and regrinding is in addition to any grinding'resultin'g from'the projection through the fee'd'jet of the material into impact chamber'2l and possibly against wear plate 23 Material not exceeding that selected particle size can be called pulverulent material and will rise under the prescribed conditionsfset for the mill in; the construction and operation thereof, in uptake pipes 58, being suspended in V the gaseous fluid constantly rising in those pipes as a consequence of the new gaseous fluid'constantly being. fed into the mill by the'respective jets. 1
A classifier 69 has an outer casing 3| substantially in the form of an inverted cone, which casing is suspended in a central manner within casing Hi from top plate I3. A vertical riser pipe 62 extends downwardly into classifier 3|! for a portion of its vertical length and projects upwardly through plate |3 whence it is bolted to an its outer end in a beveled gear 52 which meshes c-phere in impact chamber 2|. The gaseous fluids Land-solid particlesinthat chamber are closely outlet pipe 63. A bell-type shield 64 is suspended by brackets 55 from the lower endof riser |52. A return leg 33 is connected to the lower open end of classifier 60 and leads into a downwardly inclined nozzle casing 67 which. projects into impact chamber 2| through plate 22. Nozzle casingfil includes a suction jet assemblywhich is substantially directed towardsaid .common point of intersection inchamber. 2|. A Venturilike throat 68 is provided, at the lower .endof casing 61 by-suitable temperature andwear-re sisting material 69 whichflconstitutes the barrel :than-theaggregate cross sectional area oisaid ducts,.a common classifier into which said uptake p ipes.empty, means for effecting rotation ofsaid .streams'passing-into said classifier, a riser in said .;,cla ssifier for said pulverulent -material not exceeding a predetermined particle size, a return leg i 1 i said;; classifier gfor rejected pulverulent e2;-
