Apparatus and cyclic regenerative process for making oil gas

Claim 2

IN A CYCLIC REGENERATIVE APPARATUS FOR CRACKING LIQUID HYDROCARBONS UNDER PRESSURE, COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE TAR POT COMMUNICATING WITH THE GENERATOR THROUGH THE LOWER PORTION THEREOF, A TAKE-OFF CONDUIT CONTAINING A PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE LEADING FROM SAID TAR POT TO A CONDENSER, A VALVED CONDUIT BY-PASSING SAID PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE, AND MEANS FOR INTRODUCING COOLED TAR INTO THE UPPER PORTION OF THE TAR POT TO COOLED GASES DISCHARGED FROM THE GENERATOR.

Claim 3

A CYCLIC REGENERATIVE PROCESS FOR MAKING A HIGH B.T.U. OIL GAS IN A GAS GENERATING SET INCLUDING A GENERATOR IN COMMUNICATION WITH A FIRST AND SECOND REGENERATOR CAPABLE OF ABSORBING AND RELEASING HEAT UPON PASSAGE OF FLUIDS THERETHROUGH WHICH COMPRISES BURNING HEAT OIL SAID GENERATOR TO HEAT IT TO CRACKING TEMPERATURE, DISCHARGING THE PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION FROM THE SET THROUGH THE FIRST REGENERATOR TO HEAT THE GENERATOR, INTRODUCING A HYDROGEN-RICH GAS INTO THE SET THROUGH SAID FIRST REGENERATOR TO HEAT SAID GAS, INTRODUCING SAID OIL INTO THE GENERATOR SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE FLOW OF SAID HYDROGEN-RICH GAS TO CRCK THE OIL WITH THE FORMATION OF GASEOUS AND LIQUID CRACKING PRODUCTS INCLUDING TAR, WITHDRAWING THE GASEOUS AND LIQUID CRACKING PRODUCTS DIRECTLY FROM SAID GENERATOR TO A QUENCHING ZONE FOR CONTACTING THE CRACKING PRODUCTS WITH COOLING LIQUID TO CONDENSE THE TAR THEREIN, AND SEPARATING THE GASEOUS CRACKING PRODUCTS FROM THE LIQUID CRACKING PRODUCTS.

Claim 4

A CYCLIC REGENERATIVE PROCESS FOR MAKING A HIGH B.T.U. OIL GAS IN A GAS GENERATING SET INCLUDING A GENERATOR IN COMMUNICATION WITH A FIRST AND SECOND REGENERATOR CAPABLE OF ABSORBING AND RELEASING HEAT UPON PASSAGE OF FLUIDS THERETHROUGH WHICH COMPRISES BURNING HEAT OIL SAID GENERATOR TO HEAT IT TO CRACKING TEMPERATURE, DISCHARGING THE PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION FROM THE SET THROUGH THE FIRST REGENERATOR TO HEAT THE GENERATOR, INTRODUCING A HYDROGEN-RICH GAS INTO THE SET THROUGH SAID FIRST REGENERATOR TO HEAT SAID GAS, INTRODUCING SAID OIL INTO THE GENERATOR SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE FLOW OF SAID HYDROGEN-RICH GAS TO CRCK THE OIL WITH THE FORMATION OF GASEOUS AND LIQUID CRACKING PRODUCTS INCLUDING TAR, WITHDRAWING THE GASEOUS AND LIQUID CRACKING PRODUCTS DIRECTLY FROM SAID GENERATOR TO A QUENCHING ZONE FOR CONTACTING THE CRACKING PRODUCTS WITH COOLING LIQUID TO CONDENSE THE TAR THEREIN, AND SEPARATING THE GASEOUS CRACKING PRODUCTS FROM THE LIQUID CRACKING PRODUCTS.
