The Gaskill Fire Hydrant. We present in the accompanying engrav- ings an elevation, section and details of the Gaskill Fire Hydrant, made by the Holly Mfg. Co., of Lockport, N. Y. The hydrant pos- sesses several novel features which will commend it to water-works managers. The frost case is bolted to the base with two bolts, and the top is held to the base with four bolts, and is so arranged that the inside case and valve can be taken out without digging up the hydrant, and can be replaced and repaired at any time, and without oper- ating any screws below the ground. All the threads that need to be operated for taking the hydrant out are where they can be oiled and care can be taken of them. The drip-valve is of an entirely new design, and is positive both in opening and closing. It is shown clearly in both Figs. 2 and 3, from which it will also be seen that the main valve cannot be opened or closed without operat- ing the drip-valve. The screw working the main valve is placed in the cap at the top of the hydrant and above the packing gland, outside of the space occupied by the water, so as to render it free from corrosion. Fig. 3 shows a double-gate hydrant, which does not depend upon any springs for the proper contrary, are capable of the most powerful direct action, but at the price of an excessive expenditure of heat. This is, in effect, how M. Regnault expresses himself on the point (‘‘Comptes Rendus,” April 18, 1853): ‘‘In air motors—allowance being made for ex- terior losses and for mechanical obstacles which may present themselves in practice— N ow % ork, ‘Thavedan seek able. As for the accidental losses, if in com- | bining the gas engine with the steam engine we arrange things in such a way that these losses are turned more especially to the profit of steam-raising itself, we have real- |ized the maximum practical effect, for even if gases are really difficult to handle it is | chiefly by reason of their great dispersive II, 1886. gases in the steam boiler. The exhaust of the steam cylinder will then serve most readily to diminish the cushioning of the gas cylinder by facilitating the expulsion of the burnt and cooled air out of the engine, at least unless we can find a more useful em- ployment of the steam in condensing it. There being nothing requiring modification all the heat expended is utilized for working | power, and if the losses accruing under this | in the arrangement of sveam cylinders, the power; while in the best steam engine the heat utilized in mechanical labor is not the twentieth part of the heat expended, and it | is even much less in most cases.’’ This nor- inal inferiority of return is a certain sign that steam alone cannot be a truly econo mical agent for the transmission of work ; but the very mechanism of its foundation makes it the indispensable starting agent. action of the auxiliary gate, but is as reliable as any straightway-valve. Fig. 4 repre- sents a cross-section, showing some of the valve details. The hydrants are made with either a 44% or 6% inch stand-pipe, and of any of the following lengths of cases: 2 feet 6 inches ; 3 feet ; 3 feet6inches; 4 feet; 4 feet 6 inches; 5 feet; 5 feet 6 inches; 6 feet ; 6 feet 6 inches, and 7 feet. | They are made of extra strength and | will stand extreme pressures. It will be | noticed that the main valve closes with the | current, and when closed will not leak. The | valve-seat is of leather, which experience has demonstrated to be the best, and which | can be repaired at a trifling cost. The, water-way is direct and freewhen the valve is open. | — The Theory of Gas Engines. We present below a translation of a por- tion the work entitled ‘‘ Nouvelles Re- cherches sur les Conditions Pratiques de Plus Grande Utilisation de la Chaleur et en Général de la Force Motrice,” by M. Beau de Rochas, a French scientist. For this we | are indebted to the Engineer, of London. This book was the one frequently referred to in the late trial—Otto vs. Steel—and which at one time, owing to its existence in the library of the British Museum, it was thought might be held to constitute ‘‘ prior | publication” of the matters at issue. The work forms a valuable contribution to the | theory of heat motors : Combined Gas and Steam Motor.—When | we examine what takes place in the combus- | tion chamber of a gas-fired boiler we are) struck with the enormous volume which | gases raised to a high temperature attain. If | the combustion, on the other band, takes place at constant volume, the dilation will be replaced by an equally considerable ac- cession of elastic force, and the return to the original pressure by means of expansion | wil ave precisely the same volume at the | same temperature as if the heating had originally taken pluce under constant pressure. It is directly evident from this that in the mere fact of combustion there may be a production of power of an order of considerable greatness and completely in- | dependent of that which would afterward result from the formation of steam by the | cooling of the burnt gases. From this we | conclude that the complete utilization of the phenomena of combustion requires that we | should at the same time profit by the elastic force which gases can directly acquire from combustion at constant volume, and the elastic force which they can subsequently communicate to steam by giving up to it| their dilating heat—a heat which is indenti- cally the same as if they had been heated without producing an excess of elastic force over the surrounding pressures. This com- plete utilization would have been manifestly impracticable with the use of solid com- bustibles alone. It becomes infallible on their previous conversion into gases, which are themselves combustible. And such is the immense final result of the invention of gas furnaces, the priority of which belongs to MM. Thomas and Laurens, but in re- spect of which it is only fair to afford con- siderable recognition to the scientific labors of MM. Helman in France and Faber Dufour | in Germany. We must henceforth, then, consider as | essentially incomplete—and so consider from our knowledge of the cause—all gas engines alone and steam engines alone, and it is easy to demonstrate that the one is neces- sarily the normal complement of the other. The action of gases as vehicles of motive force assumes the previous starting of the motor apparatus, for, precisely because gases exist already formed and cannot do work i} HI Hh a HM tM Mt mI i Fig. 1.—Elevation. THE GASKILL FIRE Such, then, is the proper use of steam—to be, if not the preponderating expansive power, at least the finger always ready to press the trigger. ; This proposition may appear in contradic- tion to certain facts which would tend to establish that it is difficult to obtain from gases a great power of expansion. The permanent gases appear, in fact, perhaps even more sensitive than vapors to the va- rious causes of loss of heat. But we must HYDRANT, CONSTRUCTED BY THE | head (already supposed as reduced to their | | possible minimum) are besides put to their best possible use in a corresponding produc- tion of steam, we have all the useful effect of | the steam as hitherto, plus that which we can obtain from the elastic force of the gas | itself. In conclusion it is necessary to observe that among the necessary and rational con- ! ‘ Fig. 3.—Cross-Section. a .-* I OIE. b eo %S ean Fig. 4.—Section of Lower Part of Double-Gate Hydrant. HOLLY | ditions of transmission of force the first | appears to be the very existence of a mass of superabundant heat, and the limit of | practical utilization of this is manifestly ar- | rived at when the quantity of heat neces- | sary for the formation and maintenance of | this mass is brought to its lowest point by disposing in their rational order the only | physical agents which we can generally use, | viz., fuel, airand water. This is the lead- ing idea of the mixed gas and steam motor ; without expansion, they are incapable of | distinguish between normal losses and acci-|@ natural consequence also of the applica- setting themselves to work and can enter as | dental losses, active agents only into a system already in motion. It is for this reason that there have never been and never will be gas engines, whatever their principle, which can be applied. to cases in which the starting re- quires more or less powerful or rapid effort without the simultaneous concurrence of some external force. Gas engines pure and simple are, therefore, essentially engines of small powers, Steam engines, on the notably by dispersion. Per- manent gases ought to be considered as vapors infinitely below their poiut of satura- tion, and it is impossible that they can re- | cific heat. It follows from this that they | ought in working to cool at a much yreater rate than vapors. But it is of little im- portance whether the curve of pressure falls more or less rapidly on expansion if i the useful effect is in the end more consider- store in any case one particle of their spe- | ben of gas furnaces to the beating of steam boilers. The simultaneous utilization of the expansive force of gas and steam will gen- |erally require the employment of two sets of cylinders, viz., those in which combustion is effected, and steam cylinders. The most simple arrangement will consist in making the indraft of gas from the cupola and of the fresh air necessary for combustion by the suction of the gas cylinder itself, and in forcing out, after their expansion, the burnt practical use of which appears to have fol- lowed close upon their being perfected in each particular case, we will only occupy ourselves here with the designing of gas cylinders, the practice in which is much less advanced. We shall distinguish two gen eral cases according as the gas to be burnt is taken at atmospheric pressure or is pre- viously compressed. 2.—Vertical Section. Fig. MFG. CO., LOCKPORT, N. Y. Arrangement without Previous Compression. —Combustible gas and fresh air are drawn in during a portion only of the stroke of the pistons of the gas cylinders. These cylinders thus perform the function of suction bellows by drawing in air for the supply of the cupola. Taps and valves regulate tne access and proportions of the two descriptions of gas. The mixture is effected at low temper ature in conduits arranged for the purpose, aud ignition is produced by known pro cesses. The volumes of the gas aud steam cylinders are arranged in accordance with the expenditure of the two fluids. Never- theless, the steam cylinders ought to be of themselves powerful enough to start the whole machine. It could then be arranged, according to circumstances, that the steam tbrottle-valve might be entirely opened for the purpose of starting, and normally more or less closed during working. The high temperature produced in the gas cylinder by direct combustion would be a cause of speedy 82.50 a lear, Including Tostage. Stngle Copies, Zen Cents. destruction of the machine if the walls were not maintained at a very low relative tem- perature, This low temperature would be an energetic cause of cooling in the gases if it could not be met by other arrangements. But there will always be only a very slight drawback from direct utilization if the heat thus dissipated gives return in producing steam, The gas cylinders, as well as their frames, will therefore be surrouded by water, and placed, by means of their exterior sur faces, in communication with the boiler in such a way as to insure the circulation of the water and the creation of steam. The ele- | vation of temperature, even if very great, would not otherwise cause any sensible in- | convenience with the walls maintained at a | constant temperature. It must be under | stood, in fact, that the metal walls, even though we suppose them to be very thick, | can always transmit the total heat furnished | to them without their temperature at the | point of contact with the hot air ever being | able to rise to an appreciable extent above temperature corresponding to a given pro- portion of combustible gas, and consequently to a known pressure after combustion there is a certain length of suction—we should say “‘inlet” in case of a steam cylinder— for which the work developed in the cylin- der is a maximum, The variation in amount |of suction, answering in each case to the maximum of work, being confined within nar- row limits, the use of a slide will perfectly suffice to obtain the greatest variation in the yield of combustible gas. The arrangement, therefore, of the gas cylinders in the case in question can be made in the simplest manner with a common slide-valve, modifying, it is always understood, the forward and back- ward movements of it to meet this particu- lar requirement. Arrangement with Previous Compression. —The arrangement before described appears certainly the simplest that could exist. It will perhaps be the only one applicable to locomotives. Then the increase of uilized power resulting from it will certainly be clear gain, and, without any doubt, out of proportion to the cost of setting up. But the true conditions of the best employment of | the elastic force of gases—at least its most important conditions—are not there ob- served; and simplicity is perhaps only ac- quired at the expense of utility. These con- ditions, in fact, are four in number: 1. The greatest possible cylinder space with the least possible exterior surface. 2. The great- | est possible quickness of action. 3. The greatest possible expansion. 4. The great- est possible pressure at the commencement of the expansion. The dispersive power of gases, so favorable to the use of boiler tubes, |1s evidently, on the contrary, an obstacle to tbe utilization of elastic force developed in the gaseous mass. Now, we have seen that |in the case of boiler tubes the efficiency— that is to say, the heat transmitted—was | proportional to the diameter of the tubes. | The loss would therefore be in inverse ratio | to the diameter in the case of cylinders. But this is only applicable to cylinders of very | small diameter; and the loss decreases in | reality in a more rapid proportion than the diameter increases. Therefore an arrange- | which, for a given consumption of yas, will | give cylinders of the greatest diameter will be that with which the greatest direct utiliza- tion of heat will correspond in this respect. | We equally conclude from this that, so far |as possible, we must only employ one gas | cylinder in each separate mackine. But dis- persion depends also upon time. Cvoling, then, will be as much greater, other things | being equal, as the working pace is slower. Now, a more rapid working pace seems to imply, as a consequence, cylinders of a |}smaller volume; but this contradiction disappears when one reflects that the length of stroke is not necessarily related |in an invariable manner to the cylinder | volume for a given expenditure. In like manner as for the elastic force of steam the utilization of the elastic force of gases re- quires that the expansion should be the most prolonged possible. In the arrangement above described there is a maximum of ex- | pansion for each particular case. Thus the | effect is necessarily limited. The advantage, | therefore, rests with an arrangement which | will permit of giving back to the machine | that which we may call the free play of the | expansion—that is to say, the power of ex- panding so far as we may think it conve- | nient within the limits only imposed by the | nature of things. Finally, the utilization of | the elastic force of gases still depends on one element which is entirely their own, but which is, at bottom, intimately connected with the utility of prolonged expansion This element is compression, which should be the greatest possible for the greatest effect. It can be easily seen that we are dealing here with heated expansion obtained after cold compression, which is a way of projonging the expansion in some sort in verse to that which consists in causing a vacuum—a way to which steam could not adapt itself, it being always understoud that all compression inevitably causes an ¢quiva lent cond: msition in such a way thac, even supposing st,am to be combustible, iustanta- neous heating would be rendered impossible by reason of it. We can get as indifinite a utilization of the elastic force of gases by compressing them indefinitely before beat ing as we can get an indefinite utilization of the elastic force of steam by iudetinitely prolonging expansion. But practicaily we soon attain an impassable limit. It is that | (Concluded on page 5.) — A ila aa = aoe we . os a deo ea SL a a eo —-% 7 Soa EE BAS EE 2 aes == —~ ws se oe —sat meee ~ een ee LeREIBRONM AGS. March 11, 1866.
