Description: |
| Abstract:
This invention relates to those lubricators io which are constructed in such a manner as to compel the "feed" or discharging oil to ascend in small globules through a column of condensed water that collects in what is commonly known as the "sight- chamber"' and the first part of my improvements consists in adapting a tubular standard of the device to serve both as the pipe that conveys steam to the condenser and to act as the channel through which oil escapes from the top of the sight- chamber and is then conducted to the engine, said hollow standard being wholly external with reference to the sight-feed chamber and oil-reservoir.
Claim:
A steam-engine lubricator having an elevated condenser connected by an inlet-passage with an oil-reservoir, which latter has near its top an oil-discharge duct communicating with the bottom of an ascending sight-feed chamber, the upper end of said chamber being provided with an outlet leading into a hollow standard and communicating with a condensing-tube, said standard being wholly external with reference to said oil-reservoir and sight-chamber, and serving the twofold purpose of admitting steam to said condenser and condensing-tube and of receiving the oil that flows from said reservoir. |
