APPARATUS FOR PROD'UCING INTERACTON BETWEEN GASES AND LIQUIDS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 10, 1908.

Application filed. Getober 3, 190'?. Serial No. 395,685.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, HEINRICH Korrnns, a citizen of Germany, residing at Essen-on-the- Ruhr, Germany, have invented new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for Producing Interaction Between Gases and Liquids, of' which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an apparatus for producing inter-action between gases and liquids, such as a gas scrubber, gas cooler, ammonia extractor, etc.

By my invention there is obtained a uniform passage of the gas through the liquid,... the available space is effectively utilized, and

a ready access to the operativeparts of the device is provided. s

In the accompanying drawings.: Figure l is an elevation, partly in section, of my improved apparatus; Fig. 2 a horizontal-section on line 22, Fig. 1;. "Fim 3 an elevation,

partly in section, of a modciication of the apy paratus, and Fig. e a horizontal section on line 11T-4, Fig. 3.

The apparatus is composed of a suitable number of superposed chambers or sections c, a', of which alternate sections are of like construction. The bottom b, of each section c, a', is provided with a pair of parallel properly spaced slots c, extending entirely across such bottom. Slots c, are provided at each side with an u Wardly rejecting fiange d. Above each s ot is p aced an inverted U-shaped hood or cover e, also extending entircly across chamber a, a. One flange of each hood is slotted or recessed near its lower edge as at f, while the other flange is imperiorate and is seated within a tom b, lThe grooves b', of chambers c, are arranged between slots c, while the grooves of the intervenin chambers a', are arranged outside of sai slots. @wing to this construction, recesses f, will also alternate in their relative position to slots c, so that in the second, fourth, etc., section a', such recesses are situated intermediate the slots, while in the first, third, etc., section a, the are arranged outside of the slots.k Wit each segmental outer compartment a2, of chamber a, is arranged an overflow pipe h, which is of a height slightly less than that of flanges d. Each overflow h, communicates with a correspondin outlet fi, depending into chamber a', such out et terminating somewhat below the top of hoods c, located in such chamber. Wlthin each chamber a', an upwardly extending overflow h', is provided in the Icomgroove b', of botl partment a3, intermediate slots c, such overflow being also of a height slightly less than that of flanges d. Each overflow h', registers with a downwardly extending outlet t', bolted to the bottom b, of chamber a', and projecting into the chamber a, next below.

In use, a suitable liquid introduced into the topmost chamber a, through inlet g, will fill the innerspace c3, of such chamber and willv then overflow hoods e, and enter the outer segmental compartments a2, from which it will, through pipes h, t, enter outer compartments a2, of chamber a.' In this chamber the liquid will overflow hoods e, to enter central com artmcnt a3, from which it will be discharge through overow h', t', into the inner compartment a3, of the next chamber a, this operation being re eated for the entire series of chambers. T e as entering the lowermost chamber, say a,t rough slots c, and openings f, will rise through the liquid contents of such chamber, and will thus be subjected to the action thereof. From the bottom .'chamber'the gas will pass through slots c, and openings f, of the chamber c', next above, through the liquid charge of the latter, and thence in like manner through the entire series of chambers, to be finally discharged from the top chamber. In this way a thorough contact of the descending body of liquid with the ascending body vof gas is obtained, so that one is acted upon,

in the desired manner, by the other.

Hoods e, are readily accessible by means of hand holes 7c, having covers m, and arranged olpposite to ends of. hoods c, against which t e are held by a packing Z, of covers c. It wi be seen that in my apparatus the entering liquid is forced to rise to the height of hoods e. It will then fiow over said hoods to descend cascade -like therefrom. Through the cascade thus formed the gases discharged through openingsf, pass upwardly. In this way an intimate contact between these gases and the atomized liquid is effected, so that a superior interaction is obtained.

In the modification shown in Figsj `all thesuper vosed sections are of like construction. Igiese sections are so assembled that the slots of onechamber extend at rightvangles to those ofthe adjoining chambers'.

The liquid enters the outer compartments of the uppermost chamber through a pairof in- .lets g-, Hows over hoods e, into the inner compartment thereof, and is thence discharged through pipes h, t, into the outer and 4, i

compartments of the section next below,

. Where the operation is repeated.

,I claim:

1. In a device of the character described, a chamber having a hanged slot, combined with a hood projecting over said slot and having one open side and one im erforate side, said hood extending across t e entire Width ofthe chamber, a li uid inlet at the im erforate side of the hoo which descends be ow a horizontal plaine assing through the top .of the hood, and a iquid outlet at the open side of the hood, the mouth of said outlet being arran ed below the horizontal plane passin throug the top of the hood, substantia ly as specified.

2. In a device of the character described, a chamber having a flanged slot and a groove on one side thereof, combined with a hood projecting over the slot and extending across ,the entire width of the chamber, sald hood .having one open side and one imperforate side which is seated in the groove, a liquid inlet at the imperforate side ofthe hood and a liquid outlet at the open'side of the hood which descends belowl a horizontal plane passing through the top of the hood, the mouth of said outlet belng arranged below the horizontal lane passing throu h the top of the hood, su stantiall;r as spec' ed.

3. In a device of the character described, a chamber having a flanged slot, combined with a hood projecting over said slot and having one open side and one Iimperforate side, and with hand holes in the chamber opposite the hood, covers seated therein, a ypacking vbetween said covers .and hood, a

quid Vlnletat the imperforate side of the hood which descends below a horizontal plane plassing through the top of the hood, and a- 'quid outlet at the open side of the hood, the mouth of said outlet being arranged below the horizontal lane 'passing through the top of the hood, su stantially as specified.
