Maker: J. AND J. DRUMMOND, 162 MARKET STREET, ABERDEEN.
Type: Automatic; water-to-carbide; contact.
The generating plant made by this firm comprises two or more generating vessels B in which carbide is contained in removable cases perforated at different levels. Water is supplied to these generating vessels, entering them at the bottom, from an elevated tank A through a pipe C, in which is a tap F connected by a lever and chain L with the bell G of the equalising gasholder H, into which the evolved gas passes. The lever of the tap F is counter-weighted so that when the bell G descends the tap is opened, and when the bell rises the tap is closed. The gas passes from the generating chambers B through the pipe D to the washer-cooler E and thence to the gasholder. From the latter it passes through the dry purifier J to the service-pipe. The gasholder bell is sealed in oil contained in an annular tank instead of in the usual single-walled tank containing water. The purifying material ordinarily supplied is puratylene. The apparatus is also made to a large extent in a compact form specially for use on board ships.
