XXXVI: No.2. ‘The Iron Ag A Review of the Hardware, Iron and Metal Trades. Everding’s Steam Generator. We illustrate this week a recent design | by Messrs. Everding & Jenks, of Sharon Hill, Pa., of a steam generator, by which it is intended to combine safety and economy in making steam. The special features of | the apparatus are the following : Above the fire A, Fig. 2, and about 13 | inches from the grate A 1, a number of gen- erating vessels, B, are arranged in a hori- zontal plane and parallel with each other, leaving open spaces between them. These vessels are steel castings, having an average thickness of three-eighths of an inch, and are in the form of a number of hollow spherical chambers of 4 inches internal di- | ameter, connected by short narrow necks. | Removable doors, or plates, in the sides of the furnace admit of the insertion or re- moval of the vessels when required without disturbing any other parts of the apparatus. Each of the generating vessels is provided with an internal water supply pipe, C, closed | at its inner end and having an outlet, c, in line with the center of each of the several spherical chambers of which it is composed. These outlets are provided with injection nozzles, c, Fig. 4, made of nickel, to with- stand the action of the heat and prevent tubular vessels, connected in the center by tubes provided with perforated diaphragms. All the principal parts of the apparatus, the operation of which will be readily under- stood from the drawings, are steel castings carefully tested. During a series of experiments conducted | by Messrs. J. W. Nystrom and W. Barnet Le Van, the apparatus was used with a | maximum pressure of 750 pounds, although it is capable, by reason of its construction and design, of resisting much higher pressures. The size of the apparatus used during these experiments was, including brickwork or masonry, which inclose the vessels, fire-grate and ash-pit, is (3-3') (4'-8'') (5'-g'') = 87 cubic feet. The princi- pal dimensions were: Area of fire-grate (2'-6'")? = 6.25 square feet; heating sur- face of globes = 33 square feet ; super- heating surface = 100 square feet; total heating surface = 133 square feet ; hight of chimney = 40feet ; diameter of smoke pipe = ginches. The engine used for the ex- | periments was vertical inverted, with cylin- der 7 inches diameter by 8 inches stroke, and no separate expansion valve but by lap and lead on the main valve, the steam was cut off at seven-eighths of the stroke, mak- ing only one-eighth expansion. The results Fig. 1.—Front Elevation. sures cause leakage, and use up much power; and, though the cold produced might have been intense, still the results were irregular and unsatisfactory. These defects are prominent in the liquid am- monia machine, and exist to a less degree, but still to a great extent, in the chloride of methyl, sulphurous dioxide, and methylic ether machines. Gaseous ammonia requires to be compressed from 180 to 250 pounds per square inch, and even more, to bring it back to the liquid state with the aid of water at 75° to 80° F., the temperatures of running water in warmer climates in the best conditions. Chloride of methyl, in the same conditions of water and temperatures, requires go to 100 pounds per square inch; sulphurous dioxide 60 to 75 pounds, methylic ether about the same. With metbylic ether }another complication arises from the cost jand difficulty of production of the liquid, and chloride of methyl, though cheaper, has with the above the disadvantage of dissolving the greases used in the working parts of the machinery. Both liquids give off vapors which are highly inflammable. Sulphurous dioxide, though much preferable to both in these respects, being a self-lubricant and | non-inflammable, has a very serious defect. | Without any action on metals when anhy-!

M. Carré has endeavored to utilize the ab- sorbing power of water for gaseous am- monia, a saturated solution of ammoniacal gas con- tained in a boiler, the gas is liberated. By the pressure it exerts on itself, and by means of a circulation of water in a con- denser, the gas is liquefied. It runs liquid into a cooler, where its subsequent volatili- zation produces an intense cold which is utilized, the gas resulting being absorbed, by being brought in contact with the ex- hausted solution from the boiler. The liquid thus reformed is returned to the boiler. These machines are complicated in their construction, and their management difficult and delicate. Besides, they have the same defect as the liquid ammonia machines —the enormous pressure of 209 pounds to 250 pounds per square inch, and even more in certain cases. Though they do not require in one sense any motive power, they con- sume its equivalent in coal in boiling the ammouia solution. Fig. 2.—Vertical See With the object of overcoming these drawbacks Mr. Rossi and the late Mr. Du Motay made a series of experiments upon ‘ompound ethers, and found that many of them, particularly ordinary ether, possess an absorbing power for gaseous sulphurous By heating in a furnace at 150° C., | binary liquid. iron tank, SL°50 a Year, Including Fostage.

If the tem perature rises, as in warm climates, to go° F., its tension reaches 3 pounds to 4 pounds Containing such a large amount of sulphur ous dioxide, if an ignited match is ap proached the liquid is warmed, sulphurous dioxide is liberated first in large excess, and prevents the ignition of the first vapors, the sulphurous dioxide acting as an extinguisher. Ether alone requires but small pressures, even with the use of water of tropical cli mates, for the liquefaction of its vapors Now, if this binary liquid, ethylo-sulphur- ous dioxide, is introduced in a proper vess¢ l, and a vacuum made over it, both the ether and sulphurous dioxide are volatilized, the volatilization of the ether setting free a cor- responding amount of sulphurous dioxide. An intense cold is thus produced—greater, in fact, than the sum of the cold which could be obtained from the evaporation of each constituent taken alone, if we admit the theory of St. Clair De- ville on the dissociation of elements and certain laws of thermo-chemistry.

Among the absorbents of sulphurous dioxide experi- mented upon, Du Motay and Rossi chose, as a ‘‘binary liquid,” the ordinary ether. It is the one which absorbs the largest quantity. By cooling ordinary ether to 40° F. the ab- sorption can be carried to 53 per cent. of sulphurous dioxide in 100 pounds of the At 32° F. the saturation amounts to over 56 per cent. in 100 of the liquid. This binary liquid, which has been called ethylo-sulphurous dioxide, is a color- less, very mobile liquid. At a saturation of 50 per cent.—that is to say, 50 pounds of ether and 50 pounds of sulpburous dioxide, in weight, in 100 pounds of the binary liquid—its specific gravity is 0.950, that of It is put in communicatiun by means of proper pipes with an aspiration and compression gas pump receiving its action from a steam engine set on the same bed plate. This gas pump is connected with a tubular condenser contained in an iron tank and cooled by a circulation of water It is connected with the refrigerator by a small copper pipe for the return of the bi nary liquid when reformed. The pump being started, the binary liquid in the re- frigerator vaporizes. The vapors enter the gas pump, then are compressed and deliv- ered into the condenser, The ether liquifies, as we bave said before, absorbs anew the sulphurous dioxide, reconstituting th binary liquid, which is returned by the smal! pipe between the refrigerator and condenser ta the refrigerator, to be again evaporated, and soon.

This brine flows from this tank into a large iron tank in which are immersed the | galvanized iron cases or molds, 6 by 12} inches by 42 inches, which are filled with the | water to freeze. A circulating pump returns | the brine to the refrigerator tank, where it | is cooled and whence it flows again into the | large tank. Now, each time the binary | liquid evaporates under the vacuum made | by the gas pump in the refrigerator, it ab- | sorbs from its latent heat of volatilization | the sensible heat contained in the brine} which surrounds the ‘“ boiler,” which brine | abstracts it, in its turn, from the water in| the molds, which ultimately freezes. <A| small valve regulates the returning flow of binary liquid from condenser to refrigerator, and two globe valves, one on the refrigerator and one on the condenser, serve to cut the | communication between these vessels and the gas pump. EE Papers on Practical Founding.—Y. BY EDWARD KIRK. CORE OVENS, All sand and loam molds or cores must be made while the sand or loam is in a moist state ; and when it is desirable to make a loam or dry-sand mold, that a more perfect coating may be obtained, the mold or core must be dried or baked. This is generally done in an oven built for the purpose and called a core oven. It is built of a size and shape to suit the work that is to be dried in it. For large molds or cores the core oven is generally built of common building brick, and the walls are made 12 or more inches thick to prevent their being cracked by the heat. An ordinary brick oven is about 8 or 10 feet long by 6 or 8 feet wide and 5 feet high, with an arched top. An iron door the full size of the end of the oven is put on one end, and a railroad track is generally laid in the oven and extended out under the sweep of the crane. A small iron car or truck is placec on this track for the handling of large cores or molds to be dried. Any ordinary work may be dried in a good oven ‘nIoor12hours. It is customary to make the cores or molds during the day and place them upon the car, which is run into the oven just before quitting time in the evening. The oven is then closed, the watchman starts the fire and keeps it going all night, or as long as it is deemed neces- sary. The work is dried and ready for use in the morning. When the workmen go to work the car is drawn out and unloaded, and another day’s work is put upon it to be dried the next night. When the work is too heavy to dry in one night, it is left upon the car and put into the oven two or more nights in succession until it is sufficiently dry. Long iron shelves ure generally put up along the side walls of the oven and all the small cores are laid upon them, the light ones being placed farthest from the fire, that they may not be burnt v h le the heavy work is being dried. At one corner of the oven a fire-place is put in near the bottom, and is so arranged that the fire may be supplied with fuel from the outside and closed in with a small door. At the corner of the oven, diagonally opposite to the fire-place, a flue is led out near the bottom and connected with a chimney, that there may be sufficient draft to make the fire burn and to distribute the heat equally through the oven. By putting the flue into the oven near the bottom, the draft is not quite as good as if it were at the top, but for a core oven too strong a dralt is not desirable. All that is wanted is just enough draft to make the fire burn well. The heat and smoke naturally also to the top, and are drawn down again by the flue near the bottom. In this way the heat is evenly distributed through the oven. When bituminous coal is used in this kind of oven there are generally from 2 to 6 inches of soot and dirt on the floor and sbelves, but the core maker does not mind it much. There are several other kinds of core ovens, but a brick one, arranged as above de- scribed, is the principal one used for large work. A very good oven for small work, and one that is used in many foundries, is made of boileriron. This oven is generally built 5 or 6 feet in diameter and about 6 feet high, with the top just rounding enough to prevent it from sagging from the effects of heat. In the center of this oven a loose perpendicular shaft is erected, and iron shelves or plates, almost as large in diam- eter as the boiler iron caisson, are placed on the shaft at the distance best suited to the size of the cores to be dried on them. A long door of almost the full hight of the oven is made on one side, so as to give access to all the shelves, and when these have been filled in front of the door, the shaft and shelves may all be turned around, so that cores can be put on any part of them from the door. <A small coal or coke fire is put in the bottom of this oven on one side, and a flue is led out near the bottom on the opposite side. The fire is kept going all day, and as fast as the cores are dried they are taken out and others putin. This oven is one of the most economical and con- venient in use for small cores. In some small foundries, where only small cores are used and not many are required, an ordinary cook stove is sometimes used for a core oven, or a sheet-iron oven is placed around the stove-pipe of a foundry heating stove. These answer very well for very small cores, but for a core of any size they dry too slowly. the drying of sand cores or molds is as important a matter as the making of them, for they can be spoiled or rendered worth- less by either too much or too little heat. If | a core or mold is left exposed to the air for some time, or if the oven is not sufficiently hot, the outside of the work becomes air- dried, in which case the sand will crumble when touched, and the core or mold will not have suflicient strengih to resist the action of the molten metal. To prevent this result and give a hard surface to the mold on the outside, it is put into the oven as soon as possible after it is made, and the heat is raised to a degree that will expel all mois- | ture from the sand and bake it into a solid mass in the shortest possible time without burning it. In cases where the work to be dried is made in the morning and molasses water before the work is put into the oven. If the heat of a core oven is too great or too prolonged, the work becomes burnt and the sand loses its strength. It is just as easy to burn a sand core or mold as it is to burn a loaf of bread, and a burnt core is just as worthless as a burnt loaf of bread. It may seem strange to a person who knows little or nothing about the foun- dry business that a pile of sand should be burnt as easily as a pile of flour or dough, but when we consider the composition of the sand core or mold, it is readily under- stood why they should be so easily burnt. They all contain flour, molasses, rosin or some other readily combustible material When the heat is too intense or too pro- longed these materials are burnt up, the sand loses its adhesivenesss, the core or mold crumbles out of shape and is worthless for the purpose for whichit was made. The heat of the oven must be regulated to suit the work that is to be dried in it, and heavy work, or that requiring most heat, is placed in the hottest part of the oven, and the light work is placed on the floor in that part of the oven where the heat is not so intense, so that it may not be burnt while the heavy work is being dried. The heat is raised to the highest degree that will dry the work rapidly without burning. The quicker this kind of work can be dried the harder and better it will be. em - Gas Burners. While people complain bitterly of the high prices charged by the gas companies, and the outrageous bills they are called upon to pay in consequence, they give very little attention to the best and most economical method of consuming the gas. In spite of the well-known fact thattwo small burners will not give nearly as much light as a large one which uses the same amount of gas, the small burners are used everywhere, num- bers of thsm taking the place of one or two large ones. It seems useless to speak upon this subject, as people will not change their habits in respect to the burners that they use. Many years will probably pass before there is any very generul change in this di- rection. The invention of new burners, how- ever, will dovery much toward decreasing the consumption and improving the quantity and quality of the light. Some years ago a Mr. Brénner, of Frank- fort, invented a gas burner which he called by his own name, ard which has been im- proved, until it has obtained a very high place in the regard of those who are skilled in such matters. Mr. Brénner was a chemist and color manufacturer, and found in his work great difficulty in mixing dyes 83 Gas Burners.—Elevation and Section of Bronner’s Burner. by the aid of artificial light. This stimu- lated him to take up the study of the laws governing the economic combustion of gas. Mr. Brénner found that the light given by the gas consumed in the burners he was at that time using was ‘ wasteful in the ex- treme,” and not suitable for distinguishing the delicate colors of aniline dyes. By care- ful experiment he then discovered that the law for burning gas economically, viz., to obtain the largest amount of light from a given quantity of gas, is that it must be burnt through a large orifice at the lowest possible pressure, or, in other words, that the gas issuing from the burner should pass so very slowly that it must be all consumed. The opposite result occurs in most of the or- dinary burners, from which the gas issues at so high a pressure that frequently as much as two-thirds passes through without being burnt. Mr Brénner applied the law referred to above to his invention. This consists of a burner having an inlet orifice for the gas at the base, pierced with a slit, which slit is graduated so as to admit I, 2,3 or more cubic feet of gas per hour, and of an outlet orifice—the burning point—many times larger than the inlet orifice. Both these orifices are incorrodible. There is an objec- tion, however, to this burner’s use, because the pressure being so very low at the burn- ing point, the flame is weak, and flickers ; but it must be borne in mind that economy in combustion is realized. Mr. Brénner then discovered that the law for keeping the hght steady is that the lower part of the flame, or, what is the same thing, the top of the burner, must be about an inch up in the globe, or draft apparatus, and that the orifice at the bottom of the globe must be larger than the width of the flame. Mr. Brénner has taken up the subject of the best color for glass globes or shades for gas. Although he claims to have discovered that certain tints of glass are best to enable persons to distinguish the different aniline tints at night, it seems very doubtful, from other circumstances, whether in this direc- tion he has made any important discovery. A 5-foot Brénner burner gives, according to some experiments which have been made in England, considerably more than three times as much light from the same quantity of gas as an ordinary fish-tail burner. The accompanying figures show the ex- ternal form of the burner as well as a sec- tion. It will be noted that the form of screw used is very different from that adopted ia this country. ee not put into the oven until evening, | Car] Ritter von Hauer, a prominent Aus- all the sharp angles that may have be-| trian geologist, chemist and mining engi- come airdried are sponged with a little neer, died in Vienna on the ad ult, ee ie ee e he SA eM oe ee Us a Sere.
