STEAM AN D WATERV SEPARATOR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 532,296, dated January 8, 1895. Application tiled August 27, 1894. Serial No, 57211359. (No model.)
To alZZ whom it may concern: Be it known that I, JOHN E. SWEET,
State of New York, have invented' new and useful Improvements in Steam and Water` Separators, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to steam and water separators.
My object is to produce an apparatus for separating entrained water in steam from the steam as it passes from the boiler to, and before it enters the engine or pump, for the purposes of drying the steam, thereby rendering it more economical, and reducing the liability to accident; and to that end my invention consists in trapping the entrained water which comes infcontact with the steam passages and conducting it away from the iniiowing current, and in the several other new and novel features of construction hereinafter described and which are specifically set forth in the claims hereunto annexed. It is constructed as follows, reference being had lto the accompanying drawings, in which I show the apparatus arranged for a vertical connection to the engine, although the apparatus can be arranged in various ways to meet varying conditions.
Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 shows a vertical section of the separator on line -y-y-, Fig. 2, complete, mounted upon and connected to the throttle. Fig. 2 is a cross section on line -x-xin Fig. l. Fig. 3 is an enlarged face view of the outer sides of the steam passages. Fig. 4 is a vertical section thereof.
-A- is the inlet pipe for the steam from the boiler and -B- is the shell or body, connected to the throttle -A. -a is the bottom.
-B- is the outlet pipe extending vcentrally into the shell, its upper end terminating just under the cone b, its opposite end leading to the engine.
-C- is a frusto conical shaped shell constructed of sheet metal having an upturned lip cwhich stands in such a position with respect to the inlet pipe that any water rnnning down along the surface will be caught and carried down into the outer shell, and from thence to the bottom.
of Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga, in the .-D--is an inverted sheet metal cup, having the cone -bat its upper end, and its lower end turned up to form a trough -e-faround the lower end of the cup, the said lower endV of the cup and trough being constructedat such an angle as to conduct the vwater intovertical pi pes, -f leading to the bottom of the shell where the `water is collected. The conical surface of the inverted cup is made of two thicknesses. The upper one g is perforated and provided with inturned lips -h-, thereby forming a sieve, permitting all the water which may collect upon the surface to pass along the under side of the sieve, or screen, down through the trough -efrom whence it passes into the pipes -fand down into the bottoni of the shell.
At -k- I show the outside of the casing, having a sieve lining, similar to the sieve above described, for the purposes of trapping the water and holding it away from the steam, conducting it to the bottom of the shell and at -Z`- I show a sieve partition dividing the chamber or shell into two parts, the sieve permitting the water to pass freely, while it forms a buffer preventing the free ow of steam, which might pick up and carrythe water with which it comes in contact.
It will be observed that, as ,the steam passes into the upper end of the shell, it first strikes f the top of thecone as indicated by the arrows. The water which may collect passes down on the under side thereof and into the trough -e. The steam current is then deiccted laterally, striking the inner face of theouter shell, and as it passes down whatever water may collect upon the sieve passes down through to the bottom of the shell. The
steam then takes the position of the arrow' myV invention, what I IOO IOS

viding the chamber into two parts, and an outlet pipe, as set forth.
2. Asteam and water separator, comprising a shell having an inlet pipe, an inverted cup having a cone top mounted within the shell, the said cone having two thicknesses the outer of which is perforated and` provided with upturned lips, and an outlet pipe.
3. A steam and waterseparator, comprising a shell having an inlet pipe, an inverted eup having a cone top mounted within the shell, the cone having two thicknesses, the outer of which is 'perforated and provided with upturned lips, the lower edge ot said cup having an upturned edge for the purpose of forming an eave, or trough, for the purposes set forth.
4. A steam and Water separator, comprising a shell having an inlet pipe, an inverted cup having a cone top mounted within the shell, the said cone having two thicknesses the outer of which is perforated and provided with lips, the edge of said cup being upturned for the purpose of forming an eave or trough, and vertical conductor pipes connecting with said trough, and an outlet pipe, as set forth.
