Abstract

This engine is equipped with a steam valve st the steam port side of H. P. cylinder of the triple expansion reciprocating steam engine, abolishing the steam receivers between the H. P. and I.P., also the I.P. and L. P. cylinders. These cylinders are connected with the steam pipe, and the pistons work instead of slide valves for suppling and exhausting the steam. Then the steam shall be successively expanded from the H. P. to L. P. cylinder. Thereby, the pressure drop which happens by the steam receivers is prevented and converted into the mechanical work done.In brief, it is the merits of this steam engine to get a simple mechanism, decrease of steam consumption, increase of mechanical efficiency, diminution of troubles, and reduction of weight and cost of production.
