"-"In such ser-viceit -is common 'practice to use '-'-downwa1"dly directed hydraulic jets to first drill a central passagethroughdhe coke deposit and then use jets directed' laterally-outward from -*said passage'to' cutthe coke' into layers to' facilitate its dislodgement and removal through the ""lower end of the drumf For effective operation of the, jets; hydraulic app iratus capable ofdelivering water "at a pressure of approximately-- 1-500 -"lbs."--per"sq.- in: is-required. In the' operation of the apparatusyvariations" in pressure and changes 'in direction therofsuch as occur in the-start- -ing"and stoppingof the delivery to the jets cause severe shock' and strain upon the pump and the "piping-of theapparatus. "The-present invention *"is"concerned"particularlywith control of the-operation of the apparatus *in a-manner-to eliminate "i sush shock.
Important objectsof theinvention are; topro- *-'vide an improved controlsystem "for' hydraulic apparatus devised 'to eliminate injurious shock m the operation thereof rtoprbvide' such asystem" capable of accomplishingits'f purpose" with minimum attention from the operator ;"'-to provide aisystem responsive to one" setting of a single 'switch d'evice to "cause starting'and build-up of the hydraulic d'elivery'by the" apparatus-without ""shock' and responsive to "another setting or the switch device to cause the apparatus to stop deliverywith'out "shock; and" toprovide such a 'sy'stem"with' -efficient pneumatically operable mechanism responsive to the settings of i the ":swit'chdevice to effecti'said" control of the appa- "Tatus.

"Accordingrtotheinvention, the normal operai tiono'tith'e'hydraulicfapparatus is under the con- "ftiol:'ot'.a "single air"'switch"which is settablgto eitherioi' two positions for" starting-or stopping -idelivery' o'f hydraulic.v pressure "by the. apparatus.

In Fig. 1 the improved control system is shown *as operatively. connected: to ihydraulic apparatus *for- "delivery i of water under high pressure to a jet device employed in a decokingoperation; The apparatus' 'includes 1 a pump I driven by a steam turbine Z h'avinga hydraulic governor; indicated siat 3.

"'An air line 15 leads"- from 'the' switch" to pneumatic mechanism for causing operation '-of thehydraulimvalves 5, '1 and 9. "Diaphragm 'motors" l6, '|1 'and I8 areoperatively connected to the valves 5; 1 and-' 9 respectively;and* are'op- 5Q-erable in"responseto *theswitch settings. Motor I 6" is conn'ected -by an'" air line I 9 to the line '1 5 whichleadsirom the" switch. Said linel5-also leads-toi a four-way' valve device 20. This device "includes-a" plunger type valve' 2 lreciprocable' to 'control air flow through two spaced-"ports 22 and-'ziiinthe valve'casingand" diaphragm motors Each of the motors I1 and I8 which operate the valves 1 and 9 respectively, has chambers at opposite sides of its diaphragm. An air line 30 leads from the port 22 of the four-way valve device 20 to the inner diaphragm chamber of motor H. A branch line 3| leads from line 30 to the outer diaphragm chamber of motor l8. Another air line 32 leads from port 23 of the four-way valve device to the inner diaphragm chamber of the motor l8, and a branch 33 of line 32 leads to the outer diaphragm chamber of motor l1.
Provision is made for stopping the turbine 2 in an emergency. For that purpose, a solenoid device 34 is operatively connected to a valve device 35 for controlling admission of steam from the steam line 36 to the turbine. The line 35 also has a manually operable valve 31. The circuit 33 of the solenoid has a push-button switch 39 located adjacent the air switch l2 for convenient operation,
Preparatory to operating the apparatus, the air line I3 is supplied with air at a pressure of, say lbs. p. s. i. g., and the reducing valve I4 is adjusted to reduce said pressure to adesired loading of say 15 lbs. p. s. i. g. Air pressure at, say 35 lbs. p. s. i. g., is supplied to the line 26 leading to the four-way valve device 29, and'the reducing valve 29 reduces the pressure going to the diaphragm motor 25, to, say 5 lbs. p. s. i. g. Then, with the valve 31 of the steam supply line 36 to the turbine closed, the air switch |2 is set in the position indicated at A which may-be identified as the Minimum position. Fig.2 shows the switch in thisposition. In this position the switch registers with a vent V to atmosphere and the air escapes from above the diaphragm of,
the valve port 22 and past the upper portion of valve 2| to atmosphere. Thereby,- the hydraulic by-pass valve 9 is opened and the delivery valve "l isclosed. When the air switch is in the position-shown in Fig. 2, air pressure beneath the diaphragm of the motor i6 escapes through the line I9, the line-|5, theair switch l2 and the vent The valve 5 is then operated toward closed 4 air switch I2 is set in the B position, as shown in Fig. 1. This position may be designated the Maximum position. Air from the line I3 is then admitted through the switch l2, and the line l5 to the upperside of the diaphragm of the motor 24. Thereby, the diaphragm and the valve 2| are forced downward against the resistance of the inferior pressure beneath the diaphragm of the motor 25. In its depressed position, the valve 2| exhausts to atmosphere the pressure within the outer diaphragm chamber of the motor ll, through the lines 33 and 32, the port 23 and the lower portion of the valve casing. The inner diaphragm chamber of motor I8 is also vented to atmosphere through the line 32. At the same time, pressure from the air supply line 2'6 is admitted through the port 22 and the lines 30 and 3| to the inner diaphragm chamber of motor I1 and the outer diaphragm chamber of motor l8, to cause opening of the hydraulic delivery valve 1 and closing of the by-pass valve 9. In its said Maximum position the air switch also admits pressure from the line |3 through the switch, the line l5 and the line I9 to the under side of the diaphragm of the governor valve motor 5. Thereby, the valve 5 is opened to increase the speed of the turbine and obtain th required working delivery by the pump through 'the line 8 to the jet device J. i
In order to stop delivery by the hydraulic apparatus it is merely required that the air switch 12 be shifted back to the Minimum position. The pneumatic control system then responds to cause opening of the by-pass valve 9, closing of the delivery valve 1 and'operation of the governorvalve 5 to reduce the speed of the turbine and the rate of operation of the pump In the intervals between decoking operations the valve 5 may reducethe pump delivery to one-third of the working delivery and the reduced delivery is by-passed to the pump inlet. Thereby, the load upon the pump during said intervals is reduced,
with a reduction in discharge pressure from say 1500 lbs. to 175 lbs. per sq. in.
' quickly by pressing the push-button switch 39 to close the circuit of the solenoid 34 and cause operation of the device 35 to stop delivery of steam to. the turbine 2.
.The delivery valve 1 is designed for closure mainly by hydraulic pressure within the delivery line 6 when the diaphragm motor IT is conditioned by the setting of the air switch 2 for closure of the valve. Also, the angle valve-9 is designed and piped for closure against the'stream through the by-pass 8. This is contrary toprior practice and produces good results. The arrangement of the valve according to prior practice has been found to cause cavitation, serious erosion and hammering. These faultsareminimized by the reversed arrangement. I U
- The invention .eliminates injurious shock in the operation of the hydraulic apparatus. and
g greatly facilitates control of. the operation By mere setting of asingle air switch in its .Maximum position '-for. hydraulic. delivery the delivery valve 1. is caused to open, the by-pass valve 8 is caused to-close and. the rate of deliveryis caused to increase. Another setting of the air switch causes opening of the by-pass valve, reduction in gentle operation of the hydraulic apparatus is obtained and injurious shock is eliminated.
While the invention is disclosed as employed in connection with decoking apparatus it may be employed advantageously in other services requiring high pressure hydraulic delivery. It will of course be understood that the present disclosure of the invention is merely illustrative and in nowise limiting and that the invention comprehends such modifications as will fall within the scope of the following claims.
