STEAM-SEPARATING APPARATUS- Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 5, 1905.

' Application filed July 7, 1906. Serial No. 268,607;

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDWARD L. FORD, aciti zen of the United States, residing at Zwolle, Sabine. parish, State of Louisiana, have n invented certain new and useful Improvements in Steam Drying and Separating Apparatus; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make-and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a partof this specification.

of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts, which will hereinafter be fully described, and then specifically defined in the appended claim.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which n I Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved apparatus, and Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates a conicalshaped receptacle, having two walls B and O spaced apart. D designates the top of the receptacle, which is centrally apertured to receive a pipe F, which'is adapted to communicate with a cylinder or other object to which the steam after being entirely separated from excessive moisture is adapted to be fed. The space intermediate said walls B and O of the receptacle is provided with a spiral passageway E, extending from the upper portion of an inlet-pipe H down to the lower end of said receptacle.

flanged, as at I, and is apertured to receive an exit-pipe K, which leads to a globe-valve N,

and from said globe-valve a pipe M leads to a cylinder O, provided with a stop-cock O at The bottom of said receptacle is its bottom and carrying a gage-tube L. Said inlet-pipe H has a flange H, which is connected to a flange Q of a pipe Q and through which steam from the boiler passes under pressure to the space intermediate the walls B andO of the receptacle A. The inner wall C, it will be observed, is providedv with perforations through which the steam, after a portion of the excessive water thereof has been separated, is adapted to pass and make exit through the pipe F, while the water of condensation, as the steam comes in contact with the walls of the spiral passage-way, runs down through the pipe K and may be drawn from the receptacle.

-. From the foregoing it will be observed-that a simple and eflicient means is provided for separating the excess of water from steam, allowing the dry steam to pass direct from the receptacleto a cylinder, while the water conrated circumference, with a space intervening.

between said inner shell and the inner marginal edge of said spiral angle bar, acommon top to said shells fastened to the flanges projecting from the outer shell, a pipe leading EDWARD L. FORD.
