Beit known that- Daw-rr'r G. M'oIN'r ma,
deceased, late a citizen of the United States and resident of Bradford, county of Me- Kean, and State of. Pennsylvania, did invent an Improvement in Apparatus for Treating- Gas,of' which the following is a specification.
In .uslng natural gas for fuel, li hting and power purposes, considerable difficulty is One of the principal objects of the present invention is to provide a system wherein the gas, after passing from the meter, is allowed to enter a storage reservoir where it will exert some back pressure on the meter for the purpose of preventing a rapid operation of the latter, and further to provide means whereby .the gas is admixed with the quantity of air before being used for fuel.
A further object of the invention is to provide apparatus whereby approximately equal quantities of natural or artificial gas and air are intermingled and compressed, and while under compression are passed through carbureting or enriching fluids, such as alcohol or gasolene, benzoin, or other li uids rich. in carbon.
ith these and other objects in view,'the invention consists in the improved method and apparatus hereinafter describ'ed, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed outparticularly in the appended claims. I p
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a sectional elevation, partly in the nature of a diagram, illustrating an apparatus constructed and arranged in accordance with the invention. Fig. 2 is a detail view of one of the carbureters. Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view of the compressor.
Corresponding parts in the several figures are indicated throughout by similar characters of reference. I
The gasenters through a pipe 10 which may form the ordinary low pressure main leading directly from the well or other sourceof supply, and it is to be understood that in carrying out the present invention,
gasfrom any source may be used, that" is ti)- say, from a natural gas well, a wellfprod'ucing both petroleum and gasfr'onif oilst'or age tanks, where gas naturally forms and passes ofl f'romtli'e body of the oil,-or from a .plant where the gas is artificially pro duced. The gas passes through a meter'll which may be of any ordinary construction and thence asses to a pipe"12- after being measured. fter passing through the meter, the gas becomesthe"property of the purchaser and I is-the1rpassed through the apps ratus"andflstreatdliri the manner herein-'- after described with= a View of obtaining much greater efficiency than would be possible where the gas is used directly from the pipe 12.
It is well known to gas engineers that where the gas from a low pressure main passes through a meter directly to the service pipes, the difference in pressure on opposite sides of the meter will cause the latter to operate more rapidly and with less than the full volume, so that the meter will indicate the passage of more gas than is absolutely consumed. In carryingout the present invention, the gas is first admitted into a reservoir 15 that is arranged to contain a comparatively large'volume of gas under pressure so nearly equal the pressure in the gas main that the meter will be com elledto register accurately. Y Arranged ad acent. the reservoir 15 is ages and air compressor 16. This compressor is arranged to takein equal quantities of low pressure gas and air, and to intermingle and compress the two volumes, the mixture being forced out under high pressure through a pipe 17. At a point adacent the compressor are two carbureters 19 and 20 each of which is in the form of a verticaltank arranged to contain a liquid such as alcohol, gasolene, or other hydrocarbon. At one side of each of the tanks is a suitable gage glass 21 and-at the top of each tank is a ressure gage 22 for showing the pressure 0 the fluid. The gas passing from the pipe 17 is discharged through suitable perforations at a point below the level of the liquid in the carbureter 19, and as this mingled volume of air and gas bubbles up through the liquid, it will be enriched to an extent sufiicient to form a good fuel. The
' peated, the gas finally passing out through a] gas from the carbureter 19 passes through a pipe 23 and downward into the carbureter 20 where the carbureting operation is .re-
pipe 24. The carbureter 20 is "preferably 7 provided with a safety valve 26 of any or.-
dinary construction, and the lower portions of both carbureters may be provided with drips and blow-ofls of ordinary construction. The as, after passing through the pipe 24, is delivered to a settling and storage tank 27, where there is opportunity for a deposit of any excess liquid carried by the gases from the carbureting chambers. The gas then passes through a p1pe28 to the point of consumption.
In some instances, it may be desired to use the low pressure gas direct, and for this purpose an auxiliary pipe 29 runs from the tank 15 to the point of consumption andin this pipe is a valve which may be open or closed, as required.
Claims 1. In apparatus of the class described,- the combination of a gas meter, a gas receiving. tank connected to the delivery side of the gas meter, an air compressor connected with said tank to receive gas therefrom,a-carbureterto which the mixed air and gas under pressure is directed, andla storage reservoir to which the carbureted fluid isdelivered and in which the excess of. carbureting liquidis deposited. I p v 2. In apparatus of the class described, the combination of a gas meter; a gas receiving I tank connected to the delivery side of the gas meter, an air compressorconnected with said I tank and arranged to receive equal volumes of the gas and atmospheric air and to compress the same, a pair of serially connectedcarbureters through which the compressed, fluid is forced, a storage tank and settling device'into which the carbureted fluid is delivered in advance of-theoint of consumption, and a valved pipe orming a by-pass for the low pressure gas between the receiv-
