Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to apparatus for diluting and dispersing smoke from a furnace. It comprises the drawing of smoke from a furnace or other smoke producing apparatus by pumps into mixture with a flow of warm air. The resulting mixture is serially pumped into a first chamber. Float valves relieve this first chamber into a second or high pressure chamber. When these valves are sufficiently pressed downwardly by pressure in the second chamber, solenoid actuated valves in the second chamber are opened to relieve the mixture at relatively high pressure and velocity into the outside atmosphere. The solenoid actuated exit valves are provided with apparatus to remain in a locked open position until the float chambers rise sufficiently to deactuate this locking apparatus.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
185 words
In smoke dispersal apparatus, the improvements comprising: means conducting smoke to a first chamber; a pump communicating with said first chamber and forcing the smoke under pressure and velocity into a first conduit; means forcing a flow of warm, clean air into said first conduit and mixing with said smoke; plurality of pumping and mixing means being fed by said first conduit and further increasing the pressure and velocity on said mixture and introducing additional flows of warm, clean air into mixture therewith; a baffle being fed by said pumping and diluting means; a second chamber being fed by said baffle; an enclosure being fed by said second chamber; a valve floating in said enclosure; an aperture in said enclosure having an area for allowing gases to pass there through that is responsive to the vertical position of said floating valve; a third chamber being fed by said aperture; and an exit valve leading from said third chamber to the atmosphere; whereby the smoke is diluted; pressurized and ejected into the atmosphere through said exit valves at predetermined conditions of velocity, heat, pressure and oxidation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
185 words
In smoke dispersal apparatus, the improvements comprising: means conducting smoke to a first chamber; a pump communicating with said first chamber and forcing the smoke under pressure and velocity into a first conduit; means forcing a flow of warm, clean air into said first conduit and mixing with said smoke; plurality of pumping and mixing means being fed by said first conduit and further increasing the pressure and velocity on said mixture and introducing additional flows of warm, clean air into mixture therewith; a baffle being fed by said pumping and diluting means; a second chamber being fed by said baffle; an enclosure being fed by said second chamber; a valve floating in said enclosure; an aperture in said enclosure having an area for allowing gases to pass there through that is responsive to the vertical position of said floating valve; a third chamber being fed by said aperture; and an exit valve leading from said third chamber to the atmosphere; whereby the smoke is diluted; pressurized and ejected into the atmosphere through said exit valves at predetermined conditions of velocity, heat, pressure and oxidation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
185 words
In smoke dispersal apparatus, the improvements comprising: means conducting smoke to a first chamber; a pump communicating with said first chamber and forcing the smoke under pressure and velocity into a first conduit; means forcing a flow of warm, clean air into said first conduit and mixing with said smoke; plurality of pumping and mixing means being fed by said first conduit and further increasing the pressure and velocity on said mixture and introducing additional flows of warm, clean air into mixture therewith; a baffle being fed by said pumping and diluting means; a second chamber being fed by said baffle; an enclosure being fed by said second chamber; a valve floating in said enclosure; an aperture in said enclosure having an area for allowing gases to pass there through that is responsive to the vertical position of said floating valve; a third chamber being fed by said aperture; and an exit valve leading from said third chamber to the atmosphere; whereby the smoke is diluted; pressurized and ejected into the atmosphere through said exit valves at predetermined conditions of velocity, heat, pressure and oxidation.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
185 words
In smoke dispersal apparatus, the improvements comprising: means conducting smoke to a first chamber; a pump communicating with said first chamber and forcing the smoke under pressure and velocity into a first conduit; means forcing a flow of warm, clean air into said first conduit and mixing with said smoke; plurality of pumping and mixing means being fed by said first conduit and further increasing the pressure and velocity on said mixture and introducing additional flows of warm, clean air into mixture therewith; a baffle being fed by said pumping and diluting means; a second chamber being fed by said baffle; an enclosure being fed by said second chamber; a valve floating in said enclosure; an aperture in said enclosure having an area for allowing gases to pass there through that is responsive to the vertical position of said floating valve; a third chamber being fed by said aperture; and an exit valve leading from said third chamber to the atmosphere; whereby the smoke is diluted; pressurized and ejected into the atmosphere through said exit valves at predetermined conditions of velocity, heat, pressure and oxidation.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
72 words
The apparatus in claim 1 wherein said exit valves are opened and closed by an opening solenoid and closing solenoid respectively; a pair of levers hinged on said enclosure and moved downwardly and upwardly respectively for opening and closing respectively said opening and closing solenoids by complete circuits conducting electrical energy thereto momentarily; and means latching said opening and closing solenoids into an opening and closing position respectively of said exiting valves.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
The apparatus of claim 1 and means conducting cool, clean air to said pumps and pumping and dispersing means that segregates cool, clean air from said mixture of warm, clean air and smoke.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
34 words
The apparatus of claim 1 and means conducting warm water near said float valve and said exit valve; and means segregating the flow of said warm water from said gases whereby condensation is prevented.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
16 words
The apparatus of claim 2 and means deactuating electrical energy from being conducted to said solenoids.
