Show New Diffusion Battery. Wo recently had the pleasure of in-1 spectingadr.iwingof the new continuous diffusion battery invented by, Mcbsis. Ingalls and Vjillez of tho I.ehi sugar! wot ks, and if practical work shows as I good results asuppuais on the face of it this invention' '"will revolutionize the sugar business. There are no cells to till nor empty but tho cossettes go direct from tin) cutter to the first cell1 where they fall through tho water to tho bottom wheieanjelovator catches thejn. and they nro lifted from this cell and pass to the next and so on through tho whole serief, finally passing fiom tho battery to the pulp cars. At tho end where the pulp leaves the battery the ivntoi passea in and circulates" through tho cells in the opposite direction to the cousettes, passing from thero to tho carbonaiors. 'It prevents plugging, produces better results in extracting the nug'ir and is much less expensive to operate than tho present batteries and the first cost is' only about ono half as much. ' |
