UNITED STATES OFFICE.
ARTHUR w. BBOWNE, or ITHAGA, AND-ROBERT P. rucnmas, or NEW YORK, N. Y.
HEAT-RESPONSIVE DEVICE.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, ARTHUR W. BROWNE and ROBERT P. NICHOLS, citizens of the United States, residing at Ithaca and New York city, State of New York, respectively, have invented a new and useful Heat-Responsive Device. of which the following is a specification.
Our invention relates tothe employment of variations in temperature for the purposes ofactuating any suitable or desired device, as for regulation purposes. 7
By our invention, a suitable material is con ed eitherin a rigid or expansible container or chamber subjected to the variations in temperature in response to which a device is to be actuated or regulation obtained, such material, either solid or liquid,
evolvinga gas, and re-absorbing the same upon change in theapplied temperature in From the employment of such' materials, there flow, inter alia, the following advantages:
The motive fluid is a gas, as distinguished from a vapor, and, accordingly, the desired motion is obtainable either through a rigid member attached to an expansible chamber containing the gas evolving material and subjected to the temperature changes; or the gas evolving container subjected to tem-' perature changes, and this in our preferred arrangement, may be rigid and the evolved gas transmitted to any suitable distance through a pipe with whose more or less distant end a chamber having a movable wall communicatesg such movable wall then transmitting v e movement through any suitable mechanical connections to any desired device. Particularly in thislatter case is there an advantage in our invention in that the gas being transmitted to a distanceis nevertheless re-absorbed by the gas-evolving material upon a drop in temperature, whereas, in the case of employment of a vaporizable volatile material condensation of the vapor would occur in the pipe or parts remote from the heat absorbing chamher, the action being, in effect, a distillation of the volatilizable material from the heat absorbing chamber to'the distant parts of the system where the vapor would re-condense into liquid, and theapparatus would be inoperative or of little practical value Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 9, 1915.
Application filed April 23, 1914. Serial No. 834,021.
volumes of gas, as by chemical decomposition, and in response to a temperature change in opposite directions re-absorb the gas, as in re-forming a chemical compomid,
with great avidity and with substantial completeness.
Furthermore in the case where a rigid receptacle for the gas-evolving material is employed and subjected to the temperature changes there is the advantage over the case where an expansible chamber is used for subjectionto the temperature changes, that there is no shifting of the zero or starting point of the motion for a given temperature as in the case of the use of an expansible chamber where, after subjection for some time to varying temperatures an annealing effect or other molecular change takes place in the walls of the expansible chamber resulting in different degree of re- 'sistance to a given pressure within it.
' Furthermore by employing a material :such as evolves gas rapidly, that gas when transmitted to a distance shrinks in volume and is reduced in pressure very slightly per degree fall in temperature as comparedto the case where a vapor is used which will condense and be greatlyreduced in pressure For illustration of our invention reference may be had to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 shows pressure-temperature curves illustrating characteristics of material we may employ. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional View, partly in elevation, illustrating an expansible chamber containing gas-evolving material. Fig. 3 is a top plan view of apparatus which may be employed for practicing our invention when a rigid container for the gas-evolving material is used. Fig. l is a vertical sectional view, some parts in elevation, of the apparatus shown in Fig. 3.
Referring to Fig. 1, the curve A shows in pounds per square inch the pressures of evolved gas, ammonia, NH resulting from the application of various temperatures to copper sulfate pentammonate, CuSo,.5NI-I,,. And the curve B shows the pressure in pounds per square inch of the gas evolved at various temperatures from copper sulfate tetrammonate, CuSo,.4NH,, into which the copper sulfate pentammonate degenerates upon losing ammonia gas. Both of the curves, A and B, show that the pressure rises slowly through a relatively small temperature range then very rapidly for further small use in temperature. These copper sulfate ammonates are solids and give off rapidly amounts of ammonia gas with rise in temperature, and with falling temperature re-absorb the gas with avidity, with rapidity and substantial completeness.
Other ammonates may be employed such for example as the ammonates of ammonium sulfo-cyanate, ammonium nitrate, ammo-' used comprises compounds of sulfur dioxid combined with suitable salts for example compounds of potassium iodid with sulfur dioxid, I
In Fig. 2, M represents the material which evolves and re-absorbs gas as hereinbefore described. This material is disposed within the expansible chamber C having the corrugated walls 0. \Vithin the chamber C there may be provided the member a for confining the material M in contact with the walls subjected to heat changes. And where the material M is a solid the member a may consist of wire gauze or the like, but Where the material M is liquid the member a is obviously made liquid tight. It is to be understood, however, that the member a, may
,be omitted and that the material M may be disposed throughout the interior of the chamber C, or many portion of it; Assuming the left hand wall of the chamber C as fixed,- and the right hand wall as movable, a rod R is attached to the movable wall. Accordingly upon changes in temperature'in the medium surrounding the chamber C gas will be evolved or absorbed by the material M with resultant expansion or collapse of the chamberC with resultant movement of the rod R to the right or to the left, such movement being availed of for any suitable purpose to move anv suitable'device such as a damper, an electric switch, etc.-
In Figs. 3 and 4, the material M is contained within'a rigid chamber or container D which may be provided with the ribsor fins f of material of high heat conductivity for more effectually communicating heat to or removing it from the walls of the chamber D. Communicating with chamber D is the tube or pipe P which extends to any suitable or desired distance from the place .wherethe temperature variations have occurred and to the point where movement in response to such temperature changes is to be availed of. At the distant end of the pipe? is a chamber E having the rigid walls 9' and the expansible corrugated walls g, it being understood that the interior of the pipe I communicates with the interior of the chamber E. Upon the fixed wall of the chamber may be disposed the brackets 7) in which may be mounted the pivot pin ;0 to which is secured the rocking leverk pivoted at its one end at j to the member an attached to the expansible chamber wall g. It will bequnderstood that as-gas is evolved from material M the gas pressure throughout pipe P and within the chamber E rises, with resultant rise of the movable wall 9,
and attached member m tilting the lever 70 upon its pivot 72, such movement of the lever is being used for any purposes, as actuating a damper, an electric switch, etc, and as temperature ofthe medium surrounding the receptacle D falls material M will re-absorb the gas, reducing the pressure in the chamber E with consequent reverse movement of the member is.
\Vhile it has beenassumed-that it is the member D which is heated, as being for example, disposed within a heated space surrounded by the wall \V,,'t is to be understood that our invention is applicable to any state of affairs, as where the temperature of the medium surrounding the chamber is higher than that of the medium surrounding the chamber D. In fact, because of the nature of material .and motive medium emdesired or suitable ployed it is immaterial what the relative 3 temperatures of the chambers D and E may be. The same is true in connection with the structure of Fig. 2'.
The material M herein described does not volatilize or giveoff a vapor, but gives off 1 masses air a gas which remains such, and therefore can be employed for transmitting movement to a distance without the eflect attendant upon the use of vapor, namely, its condensation and remaining in a distant part of thesystem.
Furthermore, in the arrangement shown in Figs. '3 and 4 the container D may be rigid, as distinguished from .expansible, thereby maintaining the zero or starting. point of mowement for a given temperature fixed, as distinguished from the case where an expansible chamber, is used and subjected to considerable temperatures, in which latter case due to alternate beatings and coolings through wide temperature ranges the yield of the expansible chamber varies, un-
der given conditions, with age or length of use. 7
