Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 7, 1914.
Application filed April 10, 1911, Serial No. 620,244. Renewed March 16, 1914. Serial No. 825,161.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE J. STOOKER, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at the city of St. Louis, State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cooling-Tower Construction, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to cooling towers for use in breweries, artificial ice plants, and the like, where large bodies of liquid are to be reduced in temperature.
The primary object of this invention is to provide an improved construction, combination, and arrangement of parts in the wall construction in devices of this character.
Other and further objects will appear in ,the specification, and be specifically pointed out in the appended claims; reference being had to the accompanying drawings exemplifying the invention, and in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of a cooling tower, constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention, parts being broken away to show the interior of the tower, and the interior wooden checker work being omitted. Fig. 2 is a section on line 1111, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a fragmentary top plan view of the same, with the interior checker work installed. Fig. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary horizontal sectional view, showing details of construction.
Referring more particularly to the draw ings, and to the embodiment shown therein, an outer shell 1 of sheet steel is provided at its lower end with an inturned flange, preferably by having an angle bar 2 secured thereto, the horizontal flange of the angle bar being provided with holes 8 for the reception of foundation bolts (not shown in the drawings). Disposed on diametrically opposite sides of the lower end of the cooling tower, are air gates 4 and 5, within which, circulating fans 6 may be mounted; said fans may be preferably keyed to one shaft. Extending around the inner cylindrical wall of the outer shell 1, and immediately above the air gates 4 and 5, is an annular shelf, preferably provided by an angle bar 7. Supported by said angle bar 7, are a pair of transversely disposed eye beams 8, upon which'the checker work construction may be supported. Projecting upwardly from the shelf, or angle bar 7, are a plurality of vertically disposed channel beams 9, arranged at suitable intervals around the interior wall of the shell 1. These channel beams are for the purpose now to be pointed out.
Referring more especially to Figs. 3 and 4, between the inturned flanges of each of the channel beams 9, is mounted a vertically disposed beam, or post, 10, which serves to close the joint between two adjacent boards 11 of an inside polygonal wall, preferably of wood. Within said polygonal wall, is mounted in the usual manner, the wooden checker work 12, through which the liquids and air pass during the cooling operation. Interposed between the outer cylindrical shell 1 and the inner polygonal shell, is a mass of concrete, or other suitable selfhardening material, 13. In order to reinforce the outer shell 1 at its upper end, Ipreferably secure thereto an angle bar 14 with its horizontal flange projecting outwardly above.
The advantageous features of this construction will now be apparent, and'reside in the provision of the outer shell 1 with vertically disposed channel bars 9 for receiving the beams 10; said beams being provided for supporting the joint edges of adjacent boards 11, comprising the inner polygonal wall of the cooling tower. Furthermore, by filling the space between the boards 11 and the outer shell 1 with cement or other suitable self-hardening material, a rigid reinforcement between the several parts of the wall construction is provided, including a rigid support to the boards 11 between their joints with the adjacent walls. By these means, an absolutely rigid construction is secured at a comparatively small cost, and involving a simple andreadily erected construction.
What I claim is: 1. In a fluid cooling tower, the combination with an outer metallic shell, of an inner non-corrosive shell constructed in sections adjoining along vertical joints, and beams extending longitudinally of said joints, said beams being rigidly supported by said outer shell and forming a rigid reinforcement to said joint.
2. In a device of the character described, the combination with an inner non-corrosive wall constructed in sections having their joints disposed vertically, of beams secured to the outside walls of said sections along said joints, a channel beam disposed with its channel embracingthe outer face and adjacent corners of each of the first said beams, and an outer tubular shell rigidly supporting said channel beams.
3. In a cooling tower, an inner polygonal Wall co-mprislng Wooden sectlons arranged in abutment along straight line joints, a
post'extending longitudinally of each joint and overlapping the sections on their outer I surfaces, a channel with its Web and flanges 10 contacting respectively with three faces of said post, and a rigid band clamping said channels over said posts and holding the latter in supporting relation to said joints. v GEORGE J. STOOKER. In the presence of J. B. MEGOWN, I v M. C. HAMMON.
