CENTRIFUGAL GAS-PURIFIER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERICK V. Ms'rfroN, a sub, ject of the King of Sweden, and a resident of Riverton, Burlington county,.New Jersey, have invented certain Improvements in Centrifugal Gas-Purifiers, of which the following is a specification. p My invention relates to gas purifiers of the centrifugal type, and the object of my invention is to provide aj structure ofthe general character shown and described in my former patent, No. 775,758, dated November 22,

l to secure fin- I My invention is fully shown in drawings, in which: f

Figure l, is a longitudinal sectional view-of a gas purifier embodying my invention, andFig. 2, Vis a transverse sectional view of the same, taken on the line a-a, Fig. 1. i

In the drawings herewith, the chambers forv the inletand discharge of gas to be treated are indicated at 1 and 2, and except for slight changes in the position of the fans, it is immaterial whether the gas enters the chamber I and is discharged from the lchamber 2, or takes a pathin the opposite direction. In the present instance the arrows indicate the. directiono Aflow.

the accompanying bows 3 and 4,' respectively, which communicate with the interior of a central 'casing 5 having hamber's removal of tar or other impurities contained in the gas. The casing 5. is made'in two parts which are 'conof the same and the assembling of the variousparts of theapparatus. v I,

' The fans are mounted on a shaft 10l adapted to suitable bearings 1l carried by the elbows 3 and'4, and'in having a series oi long blades 13 on oney side and slightly shorter blades 14 on thel other side. These blades may be of the same width throughout their length with taas to just clear the walls of the casing. I, Disposed within the casing 5 and surrounding the

fixed partitions

chamber 2 from which latter it is discharged. The purpose of having the 'fan blades of different lengths is to insure the ilow or circulation of the. gas, and as vthis feature is fully explained in my former patent above referred to, there is no necessity for repetition herein.

To `discharge water or other liquid within the fan casing, I provide a main supplyvpipe 20 having three I branches 21, 22 and 23; the branches 21-and 23'having nozzles 255whereby the ow of such liquidmay be di rected from both sides toward the centerof thecasing, while the branch 22 communicates with a passage 26 formed within the division Wall or plate 18 of the casing, from which it is discharged acrossV said opening for engagement with the gas. immediately passing from one chamber to-the next.` p The structure is mounted upon a suitable foundation 30, having a central well 31`iuto which pipes32 from the chambers 6 and 7 of the casing 5 discharge, and into which othenpipes 33, leading', respectively, from the inlet and outletchambers 1 and 2, discharge; said well being/provided', ii desired,4 withan ordinary overflow Y In the operation of the present form of purifier, the gas enteringthe chamber 1 is directed by the elbow 3 into the chamberf of the-casing 5, where it is acted upon in the first instance by the blades 13 of the fan 8, Y

which impart a whirling movement to the lgas and `cause any particles or liquid, such as tar or other iinpuritieswhich are held inzmechanical suspension in" the-gas, .to be thrown forcibly `against the fixed partit tions 16 of one side `of the ian casing.- The result of this action is'that the .bubbles are broken up and the liquid or solid particles are caused toadhere to said partition, from which when they. have accumulated in suii'cient volume they drop and finally reach the bottoni` ofl thefanl casing and are thence directed by the pipe 32 into the

well

3,1. After'the gas has been subjeted to Ithe beating action of the blades on oneside of the 'rst fan casing it passes to the opposite side of the same and-.is there subject to a repetition o'f such action, and then passes through "the opening 19 of the partition plate 18 into the chamber 7, ioraction by therblades of the faut) of the same character as that of the fan-(8, and with corresponding resultsgthe puriied gas finallyescaping through the elbow 4 into the chamberzforsise yThe of "the rings carrying'the partitions 16 and `17overlap the fan'bladea as shown in Fig. 1, and therevby prevent ,any of the gasvfrom gaining access to the .louter chambers of the fan casing without coming under V theinfiuence of said fan blades.

flhe jets of water orother liquid projected onto the ansby the nozzles 25, and between the same from the l e 26 of the partition plate, serve to aid in the 11 separation of thetar or other impurities from the gas i and wash from the fan blades and walls O the casing the impurities which have collected thereon, thus pre- .venting the clogging oi the fans byan undue accumuf each of which is occupied by a fan, said'partition means being constructed to'alord communication at a central point between said chambers, 'and provision flor discharglng water oi" other liquid across the communicating passage of said partition means.

2. The combination, in a centrifugal gas purifier, of a rotatable shaft, a plurality of rotary fans mounted on said.

g shaft, a casing inclosing said fans, a partition wall dividing the interiorvof said casing into. a plurality of chambers each of which is occupied by afan, said partition having a central opening affording. communication between said chambers, and provision for discharging water or other liquid across said opening.

3. The combination', in a centrifugal gas purifier, of a rotatable shaft, a plurality of rotary fans mounted on said shaft, each of said fans Vcomprising a central plate carrying vanes of diierent lengths on opposite sides, a casinginclosing said fans, partition means dividing the interior of said casing into a plurality of chambers each of which is occupied by a fan, said partition means being constructed to alford communication between said chambers, and provision for discharging water or other liquid across the communicating passage of said partition means.

4. The -combinatiom in a centrifugal gas purifier, of a rotatable shaft, va plurality of rotary fans mounted on said shaft, each of said fans comprising a central plate carrying vanes of different lengths on opposite sides, a casing inclosing said fans, a partition Wall dividing the interior of said casing into a plurality of chambers each of which is occupied by a fan, said partition having an opening atiording communication between said chambers, and provision for discharging water or other liquid across Asaid opening.

5. '.lhe combination, in a centrifugal gas purifier, of a rotatable shaft, a plurality of rotary fans mounted thereon, a casing nclcsing said fans, said casing having 4a division plate dividing the interior into a plurality of chambers, each occupied by a fan, said division plate having' a vertical passage in its upper part, and a supply pipe communicating therewith whereby water orother liquid muy be discharged across the opening of said division plate.

6. The combination, in a centrifugal -gas purifier, of a rotatable shaft, a plurality of rotary fans mounted thereon, a casing inclosing said fans, said casing having a division plate dividingthe interior into a plurality of chambers, e'ach occupied by a fansaid fans having vanes of one length upon one side and shorter vanes on the other, said division plate having a vertical passage in its upper I part, Vand a supply pipe communicating therewith whereby water` or other liquid may be discharged across the opening of said division plate.
