Description
Patented May 1Q, i927,
Application filed January yl`his invention relates to iefrigerating apparatus and refers more paiticularlyto the float chambers thereof.
the appended claim.. y
ln the accompanying drawing:
Figure 1 is a vertical section through a float chamber 4embodying my invention ratus. v
Another object is to provide a simple and compact construction that may be manufactured at a comoaratively low cost lViththe above and other object the invention consists in certain novel 20 tures of construction, combinations and rangements of parts as will be more described and particularly pointed out in Figure 2- is an end view thereof.
Referring now to the drawing in like characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the severa views the numeral 1 designates a float chamber preferably having laterally extending feet 2 that are adapted to be attached to a suitable support such as the top o tank (not shown) of a refrigerating appa- The float chamber may be any shape d esired and may be constructed of any suitable inaterial, the chamber shown in tl drawing being preferably an elong ing having a closed end 3. The open end ofthe chamber is preferably closed by a cap Ll that is detachably secured to the chamber. This cap is also preferably a casting and has inlet and outlet passages and 6 respectively through which the refrigerating medium may be supplied to and removed from the chamber when the cap is attached thereto. The outlet passage preferably formed in an inwardly projector nnrn'orr', Mier-traan.
FLOAT CHAMBER.
7, 1924. Serial No. 684,861.
From the foregoing description it will be apparent that all of the desired results are` obtained by the use of relatively few parts and that in view of the simplicity of construction the cost of manufacturing the chamber has been reduced to a minimum. Furthermore, repairs may be easily and quickly made when required by simply removing the cap which carries all of the working parts.
What l claim as my invention is: y -A lioat chamber for arefrigei'ating apparatus comprising a casing having an opening at one end thereof, of a cap for said opening having an inlet passage at the upper end thereof through which the refrigerant'inay be supplied to the chamber and having an inwardly extending enlargement, said enlargement having spaced longitudinally extending passages respectively open- 105 ing interiorly and exteriorly of said chaml lng pzmsnggo connecting sa l longltndlnnlly @monding psmsag'es, :1n inwardly @monding projection above the onlrugenlen, a` valve pin sldnbly mounted in the projection und enlargement lfm controlling the flow of fluid through the l'rnnsvol'sely extending passage, and means Loman@ l'o;` wonllolllng l'lw movenlont of szlltl vulve upon the (rap enlargement 10 e valve pin,
