SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 629,845, dated August 1,1899.
Application led February 28 1898. Serial No. 671,923. CNO model.) I y The drawing, which is a central vertical sec-v tion of a device embodying vour invention, clearly illustrates the same.
ln the drawing'1 indicates a separatingcylinder, formed, preferably, of a section of ordinary piping depending in size-upon the amount of gas to be handled. To'Y the upper end oi' cylinderl is secured a'coupling 2, provided upon oneside'with an outlet A3. Connected with outletB is an L and pipes 5 5,
which lead downward andout toward 'the main pipe-line. If desired, there'lmay be mounted in pipes 5 .a suitable regolatiIng-valve Secured G, the purpose of which will appear. to the` bottom of 'cylinderfl is a cap 7 from Whichgextends a smaller pipe 8,'tolwhich is' connected a Yseries of Ls 9 9 9 and an upright pipe l0, the upper end of which. is provided with a regulating-valve 11 and, if desired, with a suitable nozzle .12.
nipple 14 is secured a small pipe 15, which extends down into the cylinder 1 some distance below the outlet- 3, andto the upper end of said nipple are connccted` suitable pipes 16, which lead from the source of gas.
In order to condense theliquids carried by thegas and in order to prevent said liquids from freezing, the whole device is partially buried in the ground, as shown.
The operation is as follows: The gas, laden Secured to the up- I per end of coupling 2' is a cap Y13, in'Which is mounted a nipple 11i. To the lower end of Vwith Water or oil, or both, isV introduced into' cylinder 1 through pipes 16 and`15.l The Water or oil here becomes condensed and drops to the bottom of the cylinder, While the gas rises and passes out through the outlet 3 and 5o The separated oiland pipes 5 into thevmains. l Water accumulate Within the pipes 8 9 10 and the bottom of the cylinder, the, tortuous outlet being provided in order to completely condense the liquid and to separate allo'f the gas therefrom. The upper end of pipe 10 is preferably lower than the outlet 3, so'that by open ing valve l1 the cylinder l may be partially drained. This position of the Water-outlet is not necessary, however, for by closing valve 6 for an instant the pressure of the gas Within 'cylinder 1 Will increase sufciently to bloW the accumulated liquid from the cylinder. It will be noticed that by arranging the discharge end of pipe 10 higher than its receiving end and by means of the valve 11 and nozzle 12 the outlet of said pipe 10 may be so adusted that a continuous stream of Water may be discharged therefrom Without in the least an'ecting the pressure of gas in the main leading from the separator. n -It'hasV also been found byV practical tests that 'by burying the lower portions of the device and by arranging 'the discharge end of the pipe 10 higher than V*its receiving end the fog or fire-damp is completely removed from'the gas and condensed.l s v Weclaini as our invei'ltion-` In a 4device ofthe class described, the com- 'bination with' the separating-cylinder 1, the coupling 2 having outlet 3, pipes 5 connected therewith, cap 13, pipe 15, pipes 8 and 10 and Ls 9, leading from the bottom of the cylinder,
all combined and arranged 'to cooperate substantially as described. Y
