CHARLES E. MANNING, OF NEIV YORK, N. Y.
SEPARATOR FOR STEAM.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 445.472, dated January 27, 1891.
Application filed January 1'7, 1890- Serial No. 337,177. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, CHARLES E. MANNING, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Separators for Steam and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,such as will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to the treatment of live or othersteam fluids or gases for the purpose of separating water or other foreign substances thercfrom and then discharging such separated matter. It is particularly applicable to use in marine machinery,where economy of space and weight is important, and to engines of high power carrying very high pressure of steam when the rate of travel of the steam-current is very great. It is also particularly applicable to marine machinery when priming or taking out large quantities of water is to be encountered.
In the drawings, Figure 1 shows a section at elevation of the invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation at ninety degrees to Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a section on the line' of the inlet and outlet openings of the body or shell.
In Fig. 1, A is a body or shell havingan inlet B. Across this a channel extends, so as to entirely inclose the same and deflect the entire volume of steam laterally through helicoidal branches a 66, extending downwardly around the interior of the casing and having their lower openings opposite each other to make the two currents of steam collide after passing through the helicoidal branches a a.
F is a hollow copper ball, which by reason of its buoyancy operates the discharge-valve through a system of compound levers H when the accumulation reaches a certain height in the lower end of the shell A. This dischargevalve G is of the open-piston type, consisting of a valve-cylinder i and valve-steml, and is perfectly balanced as regards pressure. The valve-seat is shown at t". The compound levers h are pivotally connected to the float and to the valve-stem and their projecting ends are pivotally connected with the casing by links h, and from this arrangement it will be seen that the valve is not only of balanced ,to the delivery-nozzle D.
type, (being subjected to pressure on both its upper and lower faces,) but is subjected to the leverage of the compound-lever system, and thus the separator is especially applicable to marine machinery in which the steampressure is high. The lever M and bell-crank P lead to a yoke K, which sets about a pin in the top of the valve-stem. This yoke is of sufficient play to allow the ball to rise and fall automatically,while by means of the yoke, lever, and rods the valve itself can be operated at will, which might be necessary in case of the valve sticking or being too tight.
E is a slight diaphragm on the interior of the shell, perforated for the purpose of covering the accumulated water and of acting as a guide to the float.
O is a gage showing the quantity of accumulation of discharge.
1) is the delivery-nozzle leading to the engine..
T are guides for the ball on the interior of the shell.
The action is as follows: Steam or other fluid or gas entering by the nozzle B divides into two channels or branches a (L and follows them about the interior of the shell until the two currents emerge at the lower mouths of the channels. Thence it turns the sharp up per edges of the channel-mouths and passes The currents in passing through the channels about the circumference of a circle cause the heavier particles to be thrown toward the largest diameter by centrifugal action, so that when the two currents collide or are thrown together the heavier particles join into drops and are precipitated to the lower part of the chamber. The accumulation thus caused continues until it is of sufficient quantity to float the ball and automatically operate the discharge valve. Should the valve stick or remain open, it can be operated by means of the yoke and lever M, so that at all times the dischargingvalve is subject to the operator in case of its failing in its automatic action.
I claim as my invention- 1. In combination, the shell having inlet and outlet nozzles at its upper end and a channel extending intact across the inlet, inclosing the same and having helicoidal branches to CL eX- tending downward to direct the entire vo1- ume of steam from theinlet around and downward within the interior of the casing, the said branches a at opening Within the casing and opposite each other, whereby the currents of steam will collide before issuing from theshell, substantially as described.
2. In combination with a steam-separator, a discharge-valve mechanism consisting of a balanced piston-valve, a float, and a system IO of compound levers connected to said valve and to the float for automatically operating the valve, and an external connection for operating by hand.
In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
CHAS. E. MANNING.
