GAS APPARATUS.
ASPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 360.977, dated April 12, 1887.
Applicationfilcd March 13, 1886. Serial No; 195.073. (No model.)
To @ZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ALFRED TAYLOR, of New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in the Manufacture of Gas; and I do hereby Vdeclare the following to be aV full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a vertical sectional view of the retort on the line w x,'Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-section on the line y y, Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a horizontal longitudinal section through the retort-furnace on the line .e z, Fig. 2, show- -or drops into a pipe or vessel through which a current of steam passes, by which the oil is carried with the steam into a retort situate within the heating-furnace, where the oil and steam are superheated and converted into a fixed gas, which gas, passing from the retort, is conducted to a gasometer or other receiver. It is necessary in the process that the oil or I vapor be sufficiently heated to form a fixed gas that will not condense when removed from the infiuence of the heat. The object of my invention, therefore, is to provide suitable appliances, as hereinafter described, for bringing the vapor or oil in direct contact with the heated surface of the interior of the retort. Y I will now describe my invention, so that others skilled in the art may manufacture and l use the same.
In the drawings, c represents the furnace, which may be constructed in any usual manner, having retorts b situated therein, the ends of the retort-pipes extending beyond the outer face of the furnace-Walls, at which point they are provided with a screw-thread, c, with `which a threaded collar, d, engages, said collar d having a flange e.
The joint between the collar and retort-pipe is rendered perfectly tight by the use of cement, in the usual manner. These retortpipes b are connected with each other at their ends, outside of the walls of the furnace, bythe U -shaped coupling-joint g, the ends of whichfit within the iianged col`- lars d, and are provided with flanges h, which fit against the iianges e, and are secured by a clamp, t', which holds the collar of the coupling-pipe g tightly against the collar d. Inside of the retort-pipes b are shafts 7c, journaled in suitable bearings, as at m. On these shafts are inclined wings or blades n, which extend nearly to the inner circumference of the retort. If desired, these wings may be formed in the shape of a worm. Leading into the first part of the series of Vretorts is a steam-pipe, o, into which the steam and oil are delivered in the usual manner, and thereby carried into the retorts.
The operation is as follows: rIhe steam and oil,passing through the pipe while under pressure, enter the first retort, the-retort being heated by the furnace, and the blast, striking the wings or spiral worm n, causes the oil and steam to be projected againstV and pass along the inner surface ofthe retort-pipes, where it is heated and converted into a fixed gas.l
Owing to the action of the worm or wings, the oil and steam are completely atomized during their passage through the retort, and are not allowed to pass through in a mass, the outer portion of which alone would be brought in contact with the heated surface of the retort.
When the lower surface of the retort-pipes has become weakened by` the heat, the clamps i may be loosened, and the retort-pipes and collars may be partially rotated, so as to bring a new portion of the retort-pipe to the direct action of the flames, and so on until the pipes have become so burned over their entire surface as to be rendered useless. When this is ends of the pipe-section, the pipe-section is removed from the furnace, and a new section inserted in its place without interfering or disturbing the masonry or brick-work.
The advantages of my improvement are, that the oil-vapors are completely atomized in the retort, and are more perfectly brought into contact with the heating-surfaces thereof than has been done heretofore, and also that the the case, the collars c are removed from the furnace as constructed and described by me is capable of enduring a much longer time than those now in use.
I am aware that deflectors situated within the retort-pipes are not new, and also that movable Scrapers for stirring sawdust in retorts used in the manufacture of gas by the distillation of wood are not new, and I do not desire to claim the same, broadly; but,
Havingr thus described my invention, what I desire to claim and secure by Letters Patent 1s- 1. In apparatus for the manufacture ol gas, the combination of a retort and furnace, suitable inlet feed-pipes for the passage of the hydrocarbon and steam to the retort, and a revolnbleatoinizer situate within the retort, so
as to be rotated by the passage of the vapor ol' steam and oil, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
2. In apparatus for the manufacture of gas, the combination of a retort and furnace provided with oil and steam pipes with a longitudinal rotary shaft and atoinizers situate within the retort and connected to the shaft, so as to be rotated by the current of vapor of steam and oil, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this Sth day of March, A. D. 1886.
ALFRED TAYLOR.
