as well as from food respectively. Fuel oils.

It is known that all alcoholic beverages, as well as edible or fuel oils, especially for recreational and other uses despite being carried out with the greatest care Purification processes cannot be obtained in a pure state as they use aldehydes, essential oils and others dangerous, unpleasant tasting admixtures are added. The present new process, which can be used for all drinks, now aims to destroy the the harmful admixtures mentioned by oxidation of the same in a special one Apparatus by which the liquid transformed into dust form the action of oxygen or Ozone with peculiar electrical excitation of the liquid to be treated in the Apparatus itself is exposed. At the same time, the development of the aroma of the Beverage favors. The cleaning of the drinks will be quick and easy this way thoroughly effected. The electrical excitation is produced in the apparatus and simultaneously The effect of oxygen or ozone is significantly increased by adding oxygen respectively Mixture of ozone and liquid under very high pressure in two jets that hit each other into the apparatus is introduced. This results in a strong atomization and at the same time as a result of the violent Collision of these rays against each other, as well as by the sudden decrease in tension of oxygen respectively. Ozone induces electrical excitation and, as a result, a more powerful one Effect of oxygen respectively. Ozone, possibly with further formation of ozone, so that a destructive effect due to the extraordinarily fine distribution of the liquid takes place on the harmful admixtures.

In the drawing, Fig. 1 shows the longitudinal section, Fig. Ι a the Grundrifs and Fig. 2 the Fig. 3 shows the details of the atomizing apparatus and Fig. 4 those of the nozzle, while Figs. 5 and 6 show two somewhat modified embodiments of the apparatus in view.

The drink to be treated is first introduced into a container α and then passed through a serpentine pipe a \ which can be heated or cooled depending on the nature of the drink to be cleaned, into a jet device b , where it is filled with a certain amount of oxygen or Ozone mixes. The oxygen is under high pressure in a metal container c and flows from there through regulator c ¹ , pressure reducer c ² and measuring apparatus c ³ into a washing vessel c ⁴ and then passes either directly through pipe d or only after it has been partially converted into ozone through the ozonization apparatus e, which is connected to an electricity ^{source e 1} , into the jet apparatus b.

potions with which it mingles intimately. This resulting mixture passes then through a very fine sieve b ^2, which promotes the intimate mixture is a partly, other partly any solid, the beverage still adhering impurities retains the Pumpe_ /, the same through which g in a vessel equipped with a pressure gauge Druckgefäfs and from there is pressed into a nebulizer h in which the oxidation takes place. The atomizer h, Fig. 3, forms a cylindrical drum, the two bases of which consist of strong glass panes h ¹ , which enable the process inside to be monitored. The mixture flows into this drum through a tube i, which branches into two smaller tubes, each of which is bent at a right angle and at its end carries a connecting elbow tube i ^l , at the outermost end of which a mouthpiece provided with a fine perforation is attached is; the latter divides the mixture, which is under great pressure, into very fine jets or jets. to dust. For this purpose, the two mouthpieces are positioned straight opposite one another, and only at a very small distance from one another , which can be regulated by a screw P. The living force resp. the substance of the two jets acting against one another is therefore extraordinarily violent, and as a result of this the individual particles of liquid are hurled in all directions, while the oxygen, as a result of the relaxation of tension, still produces a considerable amount of electricity, which in turn converts most of the oxygen into ozone. The latter then immediately begins its destructive effect on the harmful admixtures of the drink, by oxidizing them. After the drink has now been completely atomized and treated with ozone in this way, it flows into a container k, in which the oxygen or the ozone is constantly kept in emulsion. The container k has the shape of a column, which is provided with perforated partition walls on the inside and is supplied with a new flow of oxygen or ozone ^{through the pipe A: 1 (approximately in the middle).} The tube k ¹ is formed inside the container k to form a hollow ring, the entire wall of which is provided with fine openings, from which the gas exits in order to mix with the liquid. This mixture falls onto a sieve-like perforated plate and from there in the form of fine rain onto the bottom of the container, where a new stream of oxygen or ozone penetrates through the tube k ' ^2. A pump then conveys the mixture into a large container in which the beverage is finally freed from the gaseous or volatile substances which have formed as a result of the action of the ozone. For this purpose, the upper part of this container is used in conjunction with a means of air pump ¹ n evacuated container made η to be associated. In order to achieve uninterrupted operation, it is advantageous to arrange two such containers m , which makes it possible to empty one while the other is being filled. The treated drink is now collected ο in a container which itself is again through pipe o ¹ and container η with the air pump n ¹ in connection, which continuously dissipates resulting from the Oxydirung of harmful substances volatile products of and the excess oxygen. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the present apparatus can undergo various modifications which have to be made depending on the nature of the beverage to be cleaned, e.g. B. in the apparatus shown in Fig. 5, the beverage to be treated from the container α immediately after the pressure vessel g by the pumps / guided and from there into the atomizer h, into the container k and into the container 0, in which latter the drink is found in a pure state. In this simplified apparatus, too, the oxygen flows from the storage space c directly through the pressure reducer c ² to the washing vessel c ⁴ and to the atomizer h. Fig. 6 shows in which way the evacuation in the described embodiments of the device can use. The container ^{p 1} to be evacuated is connected to the air pump ρ , which is partly connected to the container k through a pipe r for the purpose of sucking in the released volatile substances, and on the other hand to the container 0 through a pipe s and the shut-off valve s ^l (for the purpose of manufacturing the vacuum in 0) is connected. Pateντ claim: An apparatus for improving and maturing poured alcoholic beverages, as well as cooking and fuel oils by means of oxygen respectively. Ozone, in which the BEZW to mix the same with oxygen. Ozone arranged jet apparatus (b) is equipped with a radially directed orifices gas jet pipe (b ^l ) that this oxygen resp. the ozone flows into the jet apparatus perpendicular to the direction of movement of the liquid, in which, in order to perfect the mixture before the discharge, ST Opening a fine sieve or grid is arranged, whereupon this mixture is fed to an atomization apparatus (h) , in which it is not only atomized, but also made electrical at the same time during atomization by the fact that in the atomizer two opposite outflow tubes (I ¹ I ¹ J are arranged, through which the mixed jets hit each other, cause a further atomization and at the same time an electrical excitation and thereby substantially increase the oxidizing effect of the oxygen and ozone.
