Definitions

  • Constructions of this latter type are of considerable disadvantage. In the first place they are complex and expensive. Moreover, when repairs are necessary, it is only possible to repair the stacks with operations which are extremely expensive.
  • a trusswork tower which extends vertically, and at least one stack is situated at the exterior of and extends alongside this tower.
  • a means is provided for fixing the stack to the tower.
  • the tower is supported at its lower end by a support means which provides for the tower the possibility of moving freely in all directions, and this support means may take the form of a ball-and-socket joint, for example.
  • Suitable stay cables are provided for staying the tower against lateral forces in at least three different directions.
  • arms which are elongated and substantially rigid are connected with the tower and with the foundation to transmit the torsion moments thereto.
  • FIG. I is a schematic elevation of one possible embodiment of an installation according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic plan view taken along line lI-II of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a fragmentary schematic elevation of another embodiment of an installation according to the invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a plan view of the structure of FIG. 3 taken along line IV-IV of FIG. 3.
  • the installation illustrated therein includes a trusswork tower l which is stayed by suitable guy wires or the like and which has at its comers the vertical beams 2 which extend parallel to each other in a vertical direction.
  • a plurality of stacks 3 which are situated adjacent and extend alongside the tower I in a vertical direction.
  • a fixing means is provided for fixing each stack to the tower I, and in the illustrated example this fixing means includes platforms l2 horizontally surrounding the tower and supported thereon as by way of inclined bars or beams extending from the outenperiphery of each platform to the vertical beams 2 of the tower beneath each platform, as illustrated schematically in FIG. 1.
  • Each stack 3 is composed of a plurality of sections which respectively extend through openings of the platforms 12, as shown most clearly in FIG. 2, and any suitable means 15 may be provided for directly fixing each stack section to a platform I2.
  • these connecting devices 15 may have a construction for adjusting the elevations of the stack sections with respect to the platforms 12 while at the same time fixing the stack sections thereto in their adjusted positions.
  • the plurality of stack sections of each stack 3 are respectively fixed at the region of their upper ends to the platforms I2, so that the several stack sections are free to expand downwardly.
  • a fluid-tight expansion joint 10 fluid-tightly connected with the adjoining stack sections and permitting them to expand and contract.
  • the expansion joint means 10 may take the form of a bellows type of structure.
  • a guide means is provided to guide each stack for vertical movement with respect to the tower 1.
  • the guide means takes the form of guide elements 13 carried by the tower and distributed along each stack 3, engaging the latter to guide the same for vertical movement.
  • the guide means 13 may have a sliding engagement with the stack or the stack may engage suitable rollers carried by the guide means I3.
  • the trusswork tower I is fixedly carried by a suitable foundation 14. Moreover, the tower is stayed in a number of different directions by guying means including suitable guy wires in the form of stay cables 4 indicated in dot-dash lines in FIG. I.
  • the distribution of the guy wires or stay cables 4 about the tower is apparent from FIG. 2. It is apparent, therefore, that this staying structure opposes lateral forces in at least three different directions.
  • the several stacks 3,.through which smoke or other waste gases are directed are distributed about the tower 1, preferably in a symmetrical manner.
  • the tower itself instead of being in the form of a trusswork, can take the form of a tubular structure of steel or concrete.
  • FIG. 2 The section where FIG. 2 is taken is situated directly over a platform I2.
  • the particular tower of this embodiment has a rectangular or s uare cross section.
  • the cables 4 extend in four different directions from the tower, with the latter being connected at different elevations to different series of four cables.
  • FIG. 1 it is apparent that one set of cables is connected to the tower beneath the lower platform 12, while another set of cables is connected to the tower beneath the next higher platform.
  • the trusswork tower can be of any suitable polygonal cross section having a number of corners which is at least as great as the number of stacks.
  • a means 9 for facilitating movement by personnel up and down the tower This means 9 may take the form of an elevator, stairs, or ladders.
  • the foundation 14 forms a support for the power unit which drives the elevator in the interior of the tower.
  • the several steel stacks 3 are situated at the exterior of and extend alongside a tower l which in this case is in the form of a trusswork supported at its lower end by a support means which makes it possible for the tower to move in all directions.
  • the stacks 3 of FIG. 3 are fixed to the tower I, in particular at the platforms [2 which surround the tower l, in the manner described above in connection with FIGS. I and 2, so that j further description of this construction is believed to be unnecessary.
  • the tower of FIG. 3 is stayed by suitable guy wires, stay cables, or the like in exactly the same way as the embodiment of FIGS. I and 2, but this staying structure which stays the installation against lateral forces such as substantially horizontal winds and the like is not illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4 in order to simplify the illustration of the structure therein.
  • the guying means includes a plurality of elongated substantially rigid arms 7, in the form of robust elongated bars, are operatively connected on the one hand to the tower I at the region of the lower end-thereof and on the other hand to a foundation means 8 for transmitting the torsion moments to the foundation means.
  • the upper ends of the several arms 7 may be pivotally connected to the lower ends of the vertically extending beams at the corners of the tower while the outer ends of the substantially rigid arms or beams 7 are guided for longitudinal movement in suitable guides of the foundation elements 8.
  • the lower ends of the rigid bars 7 extend into bores or passages which have axes respectively coinciding with those of the bars 7.
  • the foundation elements 8 may carry rigid elements formed with inclined slots receiving the ends of through-bolts extending transversely through the bars 7 at the lower ends thereof, to guide the bars 7 only for longitudinal movement at the foundation elements 8 with a minimum of lateral play of the bars 7 in the guides of the foundation elements 8.
  • FIG. 4 there are with this embodiment also four stacks 3 respectively situated at the four sides of the tower.
  • this embodiment also four stacks 3 respectively situated at the four sides of the tower.
  • such an arrangement is not essential and it is possible to provide for the installation of the invention a number of towers which is less than the number of comers of the tower.
  • the installation of the present invention has the primary advantage of rendering the several stacks easily accessible so that repairs can be carried out at relatively low cost.
  • a further important advantage of the invention also resides in the fact that there is a considerable difference between the weight of the structure of the invention as contrasted with the weight of the known constructions.
  • the structure of the present invention is far lighter than previously known installations.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 presents certain advantages over that embodiment which is illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the foundation I4 does provide a convenient support for a power installation for driving an elevator up and down the interior of the tower, as pointed out above.
  • a stack installation has provided a trusswork tower which forms in and of itself a complete, upright, independent unit. At least one stack, which is completely distinct from and forms no part of the trusswork tower, is spaced from and extends alongside the tower outwardly beyond the latter at the exterior thereof.
  • a means serves to connect each stack to the tower for maintaining each stack in an upright position by connection thereof to the tower.
  • a stack installation comprising a foundation, a skeleton tower of generally polygonal cross-sectional configuration disposed on and extending upwardly from said foundation, guying means operatively connected with said tower for holding the latter upright, at least one connecting means situated along said tower and spaced along the tower axis above said foundation, said connecting means being secured to and projecting laterally from the periphery of the tower, and at least one chimney stack spaced outwardly of the tower, said stack being offset from the corners of the tower, said connecting means securing said stack to said tower.
  • said foundation has a ball-and-socket supporting said tower for movement in all directions, said guying means comprising a plurality of elongated substantially rigid arms connected with and extending outwardly from said tower at the region of the lower end thereof, said foundation having means coacting with said arms to oppose any tendency of the tower to turn about its longitudinal axis.
