,Tio'allhwhom z't may concern:

citizen of .the United States, residing a't Jacksonville, in the county of Duval and 5 State of'Florida, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Turpentine- Condensers, of which the following is a specication.

vMy improvement relates to ccndensers, and more particularly to a form of condenser for turpentine stills.

The object is to provide a simple, cheap and effective condensing means that may be connected to any form of vapor generato-r.' The device is, however, designed principally to meet the requirements of the, turpentine industry of which I have made an exhaustive study.

' The principal advantages of my improvement arc its simplicity of construction and the vvery quick and econo-mical manner ofv condensation. Turpentine vapors arising from the heated crude products condense very rapidly when they are once chilled, therefore an ample and properly constructed condenser must be provided andone wherein wat-er chilled surfaces (occupying very little space) must penetrate Well into and be distributed well within the condenser' compartment.

My device consists, broadly speaking, of

three tanks A(preferably cylindrical and of copper) the' first tank, a primary chilling tank, being'provided with a water surrounded worm terminating in a pipe connecting the same with the main condensing and cooling tank, the construction of which will be described in detail later, the last of the three tanks being'the well for the finishedA turpentine product, and the two last mentioned tanks having water cooled jackets. Referring to the drawings Figure 1 is a sectional elevatio-n of the device7 Fig. 2 being a detail of construction of a part of the main condensing tank.

Referring to the several features bynumerals, 1' represents a pipeadapted to be connected to any vapor generating means by the'coupling 1A, 2 being the primary water cooling tank having a worm Bland suitable worm supports 4, while a pipe 5, the continuation of the worm, connects the primary cooling means with'the main condensing tank The tank proper has `an upper and "a, lower section joined at/ 7, a water jacket 8 'is provided. in its upper section with a plui lbeing formed by the outer wall l9 and the Be it known thatl, JAsrEn R. WALKER, a

inner wall 10 also joined at 7a- 7a. The inner compartment 11 of the main condenser whereinthe worm discharge pipe 5 empties rality of dome shaped leaves'12l having. central openingsV 13 and downwardly sloping outer walls 14 and drain holes 15, the latter spirits that may have formed from the chill received'in the primary cooling tank willbe allowed to drip upon the upper basin por'- tion 17 of the above referred to cooling collumn and finally find its v vay down into the main cooling -tank through the worm V18 which is as shown carried around the water cooled column 16'. .An outlet pipe 19 leads from the-spirits cooling compartment to the spirits well 20 the well having a water cooled lbeing located as shown near the water cooled I wall 21 and a suitable cover 22.' Suitable Water supply pipes 23, drain pipes 245 and overflow pipes, 2 5 .are fitted as shownv toy get-her with suitable stop valves for controlling the same.. The spirits well is provided with glass gage 26 for determining the depth of liquid and an opening 27 tted as shown for ascertaining the flow there-4 rially hasten the operation. `The dripp-ings from the said leaves are received in' the lower portion'of the'tank 6, whence the product passes-to the water cooled'spirits well 20 through the outlet pipe 19. .The provisionv of the' waterl cooled column 16, thebasin 17 leaves 12 before referred to serving tomate- 1. Al tnrpentine condenser haring a pri-v l mary Water cooled coil, a water cooled condensing means connected therewith, the said condensing means comprising a superimposed main condenser compartment, vapor arresting means disposed around the said compartment, an internally and externally ing compartment.

water cooled spirits compartment disposed below the said condenser compartment, and an externally water cooled spirits well adjoining and connected with the spiritscool- Q. A condenser lhavin a primary water cooled coil, Water coole condensing meansv connected therewith, the said condensing means comprising a superimposed main condensing compartment, a plurality of baille plates disposed therein, a water. cooled jacket surroundingthe said baille plates,a cooling nomma cooled column disposed within the said teni:

and a water cooled storage well connected with the said cooling tank.

3. Acondenser having a primary' water cooled coil, a water cooled condensing means connected therewith, the said condensing means comprising a superimposed main condenser compartment, a plurality of horizontal dome shaped baille plates disposed therein, a water cooled jacket surrounding the said bale. plates, a cooling tank disposed below the said main condenser compartment, a water cooled jacket disposed around the said cooling tank and a vertically and centrally disposed water column within the said ltank and an externally water cooled storage well connected with and adjacent to the said cooling tank.

In testimony whereof l ax .my signature in presence of two witnesses.
