UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
THOMAS L. VILLSON, OF NEWV YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR TO THE ELEOTRO GAS COMPANY, OF VEST VIRGINIA.'
PROCESS OF CARBURETING WATER-GAS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 553,443, dated January 21, 1896.
Application filed Decem'berl9, 1894:. Serial No. 532,356. (No specimens.)
T0 00% whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, THOMAS L. VVILLSON, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Processes for the Production of Illuminating- Gas, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to an improved process of enriching or increasing the illuminating power of illuminatinggas by adding thereto in determined quantities acetylene gas under such conditions as that an' economical and practical illuminating-gas of increased brilliancy will be produced.-
In carrying out my process I propose to add to an illuminating-gas containing hydrocarbon a determined percentage of acetylene independently produced.
I have discovered that in order to accomplish a practical commercial result it is necessary that the acetylene be added to water-gas which contains an illuminant in the nature of a hydrocarbon distinct from the body of the gas itself. In other words, if acetylene is added to water-gas consisting generally of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide, the added illumination after a short time decreases or practically disappears,
whereas if the gas is illuminating-gas having a free hydrocarbon the illuminating efiect of the acetylene continues and remains practically permanent. It is probable that a combination occurs between acetylene and free hydrocarbon as follows:
whereas if the free hydrocarbons were present with the hydrogen a combination might occur between such hydrocarbons and the hydrogen before the addition of the acetylene. This theory, however, is only probable and not stated as a fact; but the disappearance of the acetylene as an illuminant does occur, but is prevented from occurring byan excess of an illuminant in the water-gas before the addition of acetylene. I propose, therefore, to add in any suitable way to a water-gas, enriched, say, to an illuminating power of fifteen candles, a determined percentagesay ten per cent-of acetylene. The result of this will be to increase the illuminating power of the water-gas to, say, thirty-five-candle power.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The process of carbureting, water gas, consisting in first adding thereto illuminating hydrocarbon and fixing the same, and in then adding thereto acetylene gas independently produced, substantially as described.
2. As a new product, water gas having illuminating hydrocarbons, and acetylene gas independently made and added thereto, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
THOMAS L. WILLSON.
