SEPARATOR.
v,Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 22, i909.
Application filed January 26,` 1909i Serial No. 474,241'.
I To all wliomdt may concern:
e itknownthat I, ER'EST S. PEcK, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Cleveland, county of Cuyahoga, and State -of Ohio, have invented a newland -useful Im rovemen't in Separators, ofwhich the fo owing is a specification, the principle of the invention being herein explained and the best mode-in which I have contemplatedv ap' prlying that principle, so as to distinguish it om other inventions. The present invention is designed for the separation of iminiscible liquids, such, for
. example, as water and naphtha, the object of the invention being the provision of apparatus of this sort that while simple and not easily deranged, will at the Sametime be` of large capacity and thorough in its operation.'4
To `the accomplishment of these and relatedends, said invention, then consists of the. means hereinafter fully described and particularly pointed out in claims.'
The annexed drawing and the following description set forth in detail certain mech anism'embodying the invention, such disclosed 'means constituting, however, but one of various mechanical forms in which the principle of the invention may be used.
'v In said annexed ldrawing: Figure 1 is a inr'which are fitted adjusting screws 3 .ft-'stepped into suitable bearing blocks 4. By
. different levels.
a. to a point safely below such level, (see Fig.
means of such screws, the tank can obviously be either leveled or tilted a trifle to one side or the other as occasion may demand. Such tank is separated into three compartments or chambers 5, 6 and 7, by partitions 8 and 9, rising from its bottom to unequal hei hts so as to provide overflows for the mi dle of said chambers of correspondingly Paralleh. and relatively closely adjacent to the partition 9 forming the overflowv of lower level, isa third partition 10 depending from the cover ofthe tank )resent the aipearance siown in Fig.
'6 that -will ultimately lead to the escape of thence to be conducted as desired.
2). Preferably the middle chamber 6 is prolonged at the receiving end of the tank eyond the overflows,- and the transverse width ofthe tank 'may be 'correspondingly contracted through such ortion, so as to 3.
' he interming ed liquids, constituting the body to be separated, are thus given' anv opportunity to assume`a quiescent state before theyreach that portion of the tank wliereintheir separation takes place; in
other` words,- the oil, or lighter bo'dy, will have been given time to rise to the top of the water or heavier liquid. 4
Having thus described the construction of 'my improved separator, the mode of its operation should be readily apparent. Assuming the middle chamber 6 to be. iilled with water to the height 'of the overflow 9 of lower level, any furtheraddition of water will cause the escape of the excess over such overflow. The addition of a quantity of the lighter liquid will similarly cause an escape of water over such overflow, but to a smaller degree, pro ortionately to volume of added liquid, so t ata head will be built up in the chamber the u per stratum of lighter liquid over the over ow 8 of higher level. Such escape will take lace before the surface of the heavier liqui( in such chamber, .will be de ressed below the depending partition 10 t at 0iuards the overflow 9 of lower level. It will tzlius be seen that intermingled water and oil will be automatically separated aiid'caused to escape into the respective lateral chambers 5 and 7 of the receptacle. From these they are discharged by suitable openings ll, l2 Not only is the separation automatic but it takes lace continuously, the iate being limited on y by the length of the overflows. Neither do differences in the relative quantities of the two liquids being separated affect either rate or thoroughness of the separation, but in the case of the water and naphtha selected for the purpose of illustration, the body supplied t0 the separator maybe either all water, all na htha, or vany intermediate mixture..
l) therefore particularly point out and distinctly claim as my invention 1. Apparatus of the character described,
the relative elevation of said overflows, and a partition longitudinally co-eXtensive with the overflow of lower'level and extending vertically from a point'below such level to a point above the level of the other overilow.
2. Apparatus of the character described, comprising an elongated receptacle, partitions rising from the bottom of said receptacle and dividing the same into three chambers, said partitions being of unlike heights whereby overilows at different levels are provided for the middle chamber, and a partition depending into such middle chamber to a point below the level of the lower` overllow, such middle chamber being provided with an inlet for oil and water.l
3. Apparatus of the character described, i comprising`Y an elongated receptacle, partitions rising from the bottom of said receptacle and dividing the same into three chambers, said partitions being of unlike heights whereby overflows at different levels are provided for the middle chamber, and a artition' depending into such middle cham er to a point below the level 'of the lower overflow, such middle chamber being provided with an inlet for oil and water, and being prolonged at the receiving end beyond such overilows.
4. Apparatus of the character described, comprising an -.elongated receptacle, parti- .tions rising from the bottom oi' said receptae cle and dividing the same into three chambers, said partitions being of unlike heightsl whereby overilows at different levels are provided for the middle chamber, means for oscillating said chamber about a longitudinal axis to vary the relative elevation of saidl 'water 5; Apparatusiof the character described,A
comprising anelongated receptacle, partitions rising from the bottom of said'receptacle and dividing the same .into three chambers, said partitions being of unlike heights whereby overflows at different levels are provided for the middle chamber, means foreoscillating said chamber 'about a longitudinal axis to vary the relative elevation of said overflows', and a partition depending into such middle chamoer to a point belowthe level of the lower overilow,` such middle chamber being provided with anv inlet for oil and water and being prolonged at the receiving end beyond such overflow.
