Abstract
959,464. Arc blow-torches. WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC CORPORATION. March 13, 1961 [April 4, 1960; April 29, 1960], No. 9081/61. Heading H5H. In an arc-heating apparatus, for increasing the enthralpy of a gas, in which an arc between coaxial ring electrodes 4 is rotated by magnetic coils 6, the region defined by the rotating arc is surrounded by a sleeve 14 acting as a heat shield and designed to permit the passage of gas through the arc to a central region which is free from any cooling means and is coaxially disposed with respect to a gas - discharge means. The gas - discharge means shown is a nozzle block 12 for connection to a hypersonic wind tunnel, but other discharge means such as an exhaust tube or vent may be used in other applications such as the magnetohydrodynamic generation of electric power or the fixation and synthesis of chemical compounds. The electrodes 4 may have an arcing surface of copper-tungsten, platinum or irridium, and the power supply is by way of connections 44 and 46 also serving as inlet and outlet for supply of water or oil to cooling coils embedded in the electrodes. The power supply may be D.C. or single or polyphase A.C. In the last case additional ring electrodes 4 are provided for connection to the individual phases. Gas under pressure is admitted through a flange connection 8 and enters the arc chamber through tangential openings 56 in the sleeve 14. An observation window 40 is provided. One or more of the electrodes 4 may be movable.
