APPARATUS FOR CHARGING LIQUIDS WITH GAS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 552,482, dated December 31, 1895.
Application filed March 25, 1895.
Serial No. 543,018. (No model.)
This invention has for its object to provide a simple and efiective machine for charging a liquid with gas and for delivering the charged liquid to bottles or other receptacles; and it consists in the improvements which I will now proceed to describe and claim.
Of the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 represents a side elevation of a machine or apparatus embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a sectional view of the same, the supportingstandard being broken away. Fig. 3 represents a side view of a portion of the apparatus from the side opposite that shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Fig. 4 represents a section on line 4 4, Fig. 5. Fig. 5 represents a perspective view of the mixer and its connections.
The same letters of reference indicate the same parts in all the figures.
In the drawings, a represents a cylinder hav ing an inlet-pipe b, which receives liquid from a liquid-supply pipe 0 and gas through a gassupply pipe (Z, the gas being under pressure.
e represents a piston which is reciprocated in the cylinder by suitable means, such as a crank-shaft e, j ournaled in bearings in the supporting-standard f and a rod or pitman 6 connecting the crank-shaft with a cross-head e to which the piston-rod is attached.
9 represents a by-pass connecting the ends of the cylinder and connected at its upper end with a mixer in the upper portion of the cylinder. Said mixer comprises an annular chamber h, communicatingwith the bypass g and provided in its periphery with numerous small discharge outlets or perforations through which the liquid and gas enter the outlet end of the cylinder, and another annular chamber 19 connected with a gas-supply pipe 19 and separated from the chamber h by a wall 19 having numerous small perforations, Fig. 4:. Vhen the piston rises in the cylinder a mixture of liquid and gas enters the lower portion through the inlet 1), filling the cylinderbelow the piston. \Vhen the piston descends the mixture of liquid and gas accumulated below it is transferred through the by-pass g and mixer to the upper portion of the cylinder, this result being due to the direct pressure of the piston on the mixture below it and to the suction in the cylinder above the piston caused by the downward movement of the latter. The liquid is minutely subdivided by passing through the perforations of the mixer and is therefore intimately mixed and charged with theaccompanying gas. hen the piston next rises the accumulation of gas and liquid, or, more properly, the gas-charged liquid, above the piston is, forced through an outlet-pipe 1 extending from the top of the cylinder, it being prevented from returning through the by-pass g by a check-valve g therein, the outlet-pipe 1' having a check-valve 1' which prevents the return of gas and liquid to the cylinder'when the piston is descending.
The pipe 19 communicating with the chamber p of the mixer extends to the interior of a reservoir fi'which receives the gas-charged liquid, as hereinafter described. A portion of the gas in the reservoir j enters the chamberp through said pipe and passes in numerous small streams into the liquid in the chamber h. The said gas acts to charge and subdivide the liquid within the mixer before it is additionally subdivided and charged by its passage through the orifices of the mixer, as above described.
It will be seen that the perforated wall 19 constitutes a considerable part of the inner surface of the chamber h. Hence the liquid entering said chamber is disposed so that the gas from the chamber pis uniformly diffused through said liquid.
The pipe 10 is provided with a check-valve 19 which prevents an outward flow of gas and liquid from the cylinder through said pipe.
The outlet-pipe i communicates with the up per portion of a casing j, which is vertically arranged and is subdivided by a partition 7' into two chambers j 7' the former being a primary reservoir and the latter a secondary reservoir. The partition 7' has a stand-pipe 7c, communicating with the lower chamber 7' and a casing 713' inclosing said stand-pipe and closed at its upper end, said casing having openings k k below the upper end of the stand-pipe. The charged liquid entering the chamber j is further subdivided by passing through a perforated plate or strainer m and is further charged with the gas which accumulates in the said chamber. The charged liquid is transferred, as hereinafter described, to the chamberj which is the reservoir from which the liquid is drawn into bottles, said chamber having at its lower end a nozzle 9, adapted to deliver the charged liquid to a bottle or other receptacle.
The supply of liquid to the cylinder a is antomatically regulated by means of a cock oin the liquid-supply pipe 0, a float 0 in the secondary reservoir, and suitable intermediate connections whereby the float in rising closes the cock and shuts off the supply of liquid from the cylinder and in falling opens the cock and admits liquid to the cylinder, said connections,as here shown,comprising a rockshaft 0 j ournaled in a packed bearing in the wall of the secondary reservoir, arms 0 o on said rock-shaft, and rods 0 0 connecting said arms respectively to the float o and to the lever 0 on the cock 0.
The stand-pipe 7t and easin g 7t constitutea trap for controlling the movement of the liquid from the primary reservoir j to the secondary reservoir by differences between the gaspressures in the two reservoirs. It is desirable to limit the accumulation of liquid in the secondary reservoir j and prevent said reservoir from being filled with liquid, in order that an accumulation of gas may be present in said reservoir to act, as described, in the mixer, and in order that the float 0 may be free to operate to close the liquid-supply pipe when the predetermined quantity has been accumulated. It will be seen that the standpipe and easing enable an excess of gas-pressure in the secondary reservoir over that in the primary reservoir to prevent the flow of liquid into the secondary reservoir, and that when the gas-pressure in the primary reservoir exceeds that in the secondary reservoir the liquid is forced through the trap until the gas accumulates in the secondary reservoir sufliciently to again prevent the downward flow.
A sufficient supply of liquid in the cylinder to lubricate the piston when the liquid-supply pipe is closed by the float 0 is insured by the pipe 1), which extends downwardly into the lower portion of the reservoir j so that its lower end is submerged in the liquid when the latter accumulates to any considerable extent, as when the operation of bottling is temporarily suspended, so that when the piston descends it draws or pumps a supply of liquid from the reservoir through the pipe, thus lubricating the piston and the inner surface of the cylinder. The pipe 1) also enables all or nearly all the liquid that finds its way to the reservoir j 2 to be returned to the cylinder by the described pumping action of the piston, so that if a quantity of imperfectly-charged liquid is present in the reservoir it may be charged by returning it to the cylinder, the liquid-supply pipe 0 being shut oil by the action of the float 0, so that only gas is admitted at the inlet of the cylinder.
It will be seen that the construction above described constitutes a simple and effective self-regulating or automatic liquid-charging apparatus, having ample provisions for thor oughly charging the liquid and provided with means for storing the charged liquid without loss of pressure and for stopping the charging operation before an excessive quantity can be accumulated. Hence no attention is required on the part of the operator to prevent an overaccumulation of the charged liquid, the provision for lubricating the cylinder enabling the piston to operate continuously without detriment whether the charging operation is going on or not.
