Fatented Jan. 2, 1923 barren stares L- n4" Iii-4 o CONDENSING DEVICE.

Application filed February 3, 1921.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, STANISLAW Gunsnr, a citizen of Poland, residing at Utica, county of Oneida, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Condensing Devices, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in distilling apparatus and more particularly to improvements in the condensing means used in connection with such apparatus.

It is the principal object of the invention to provide a combined air and water cooled condenser which enables the operator to use either water or air as a cooling medium.

A further objectof the invention is to provide a condensing apparatus whereby material maybe condensed economically, expeditiously, safely and without encountering the usual difliculties attending the methods heretofore employed in condensing.

In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is a top plan view or my apparatus constructed according to the present invention, part of the covering being broken away, and

Figure 2 is a side view of the apparatus, partly in section.

The cooler 10 has the customary inlet ll on top for the entrance oi the cooling medium and at the bottom the outlet 12 for the same. Th condensing coil 13 is arranged within a chamber 14 built into the cooler 10 from which its upper end 15 projects for connection with the retort or boiler, while its lower end 16 is extended through the bottom of chamber 14 and cooler 10 for connection with a receiver.

An air inlet or exhaust pipe 17 is arranged on top of the chamber 1 while an air sup- Serial No. $42,064.

ply pipe 18 is attached at the bottom of said chamber.

The air is supplied to the pipe 18 by means of a bellows 19 secured by means of a bracket 20 to the bottom of the cooler 10 and supported by a standard 21 parallel to posts '22 supporting the cooler.

This bellows 19 is operated by means of a foot or hand operated board, while a spring 24 in its interior eliects its expansion after in the general arrangement and construction of the minor details of m apparatus without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.

What 1 claim as new and desire to secure y Letters Patent oi? the United S ates, is-- ($5 In a cooler of the character described, for distilling apparatus, a chamber centrally disposed in said cooler for the reception of the condensing coil 01 the distilling apparatus.

air inlet and exhaust )lPGS for said chamber- 7o bellows under said cooler, and means for operating said bellows to alternately supply, and exhaust air to and from said chamber during the operation of said bellows, and

while the cooling medium is circulating around said chamber within said cooler.

in testimony whereof have aiiixed my signature.
