This invention relates to liquid distributors, and kmorey particularly tothose which may be employed in connection with the treatment of liquids, such as milk, where the parts of the distributor exposed to the liquid should be -easily accessible for cleansing purposes. Heretofore, it zhas been a common practice in the treatment of milk or cream,

An object of this inventionis to provide an improved liquid distributor with which a liquid to be treated may be flowed over a heat interchanging surface or'vwall as a iilrn at various rates without sp'attering and with a substantially uniform distrbutionof-thel 35. flow'along said 'surface or wall, unaffected by the rate of flow.
A lfurther object of the invention is to provide 'an improved device for depositing a liquid to be treated upon a heat interchanging surface uniformly along the length of the same', and with which all parts exposed to the contact ofthe liquid maybe easily reached for cleansing purposes.` y v A further object is to provide an improved device for accomplishing each o r any ofthe above objects,- which will be relatively simple, durable, `practical vand inexpensive.
. A further object of the invention is to provide an improved method ofvunifo'rmly distributing a liquidto the treated upon a heat such as-during the cooling yor heatingof the same, to flow the same as a film over a heat cooled or heated by a heattransfer with a such surface or pipes through all variations interchanging wall or surface. ing rates. I .I
Variousother objects and advantageswill be apparent from the following description of an emb-odiment of the invention, and the novel featuresv will be .particularly pointed out hereinafter .in connection` with the appended claims. f n .n Y A In ,the accompanying drawings:
Fig.l1 is a front elevation ofthe upper" v,part of a heat interchanger constructed in accordance with thisinvention; Y
Fig. Qis a similar elevation of a part o at all operat- F ig.l 5 is a transverse, sectional elevation .of the same, approximately along the line 5 5 of'Fig. 1, and illustrating the manner 1n which the liquid is distributed uniformly Vupon the heat interchanging surfaces; and Fig. 6 is a fragmentary,vsectional elevation throughy apart of thev coupling head and V illustrating the manner' of connectingthe outer tube thereto. f
In the illustrated embodiment of the in-v vention, the heat interchanger may include a vertically disposed row of pipes 10,11, 12, etc., which extend between spaced headers 13 through which the ends of the pipes are con-k nected together alternately, so that a fluid 'may be circulated successively through said disposed just` above the uppermosthorizontal cooling pipe 10 and, if desiredat a point intermediate the ends of the same, as shown in Fig. 1. A supply pipe 16 is secured to the vdischarge passage of the head, so as to form a horizontal continuation thereof, the end ofthe pipe 16y being received withinr the bore of the discharge passage and secured therein any'` suitable manner, such as by 5 Welding, brazing or shrinking. Y
A second or distributingfpipe or tube 17 ,L considerably larger than the'pipe 16, is fitted 'i over the i'pe16 in spaced relation therewith,
*andfitte' `at oneend over a'boss 18 which surroundstthe discharge passage of the fheadfromy which the pipezlG extends.'v The boss may have a beveled abutmentwall,lil-against whichgan outwardly flangedend2Q .of t'hepipe f 'or tube' '17 kmay. 'abu't, .asy show'hjin Fig.. 2. A

The bracket27 and the cap thus serve to "supy pertthe free ends of the pipes 16 and17 inV The'outer pipe or tube 17 VVis'provided along Yeit'slower por-tionwith one or more rows of V-apertures28 (Figs. 4 and 5) there being prefy Y era-blytwo rows of such apertures arranged Y along the length ,ofthe pipeor tube 17 at Y points slightly spaced laterally from a verti' calv plane through the 'center ofthat tube or j pipe. The'tube orpipe 17 is slightly 'spaced above the uppermost cooler pipe 10, so that a'liquid in the pipe or tube 17 flows therefrom through said rows of aperturesand fall upon v ,Y the pipe lslightly at each side ofthe uppermost-edge-or surface ofthe pipe 10, as shown inFigng,` j `Thu-saliquidin the pipe or tube 17 will-leaveit irrtvvo` sets of streams, which in strikingthepipe'lrwill lowy down opposite e V sides thereof infillnsfas shown in Fig.V 5.

Thejetsgofliquid and while so passing over the pipes 10, 11, 12, etc., the liquid lihnwill be subjectedlvto a heat transfer through these Vpipes withlthe fluid circulating through said pipes. f i
The innerV pipe 16 isl provided withV an o outlet slotv or plurality of outletpassages orv apertures 30 arrangedalong the length of the same, softhat a liquidjto Vbe treated'U which enters theV coupling l head -15 will pass into the inner pipe 116. fan-dgjbe dis-V 'charged therefrom intoV the outer Ypipe or Ytube 17 ata vplurality of points along-the' length of thesanie.. The liquid thus dis` charged into the outer pipe 17 at different of 'apertures'28 thereof underV a head which is f f' substantially uniform throughout the length `of the pipe 17, regardless of the rate `at which the liquid is supplied' t'hereto.,fand:substan-f ti'all-y independentlyhoff the .arrangeurent'y or size of the `apertures igalong'the innerpipe *16* through .which vthe liquid.- issupplied thereto, provided, 'of'.course,.that` the rate` at exceedthe rateat whichit can leave 'the ap'ere of thetube17. Inother words, the relation ofthe apertures S0 and issuch'that: thetu'b l17y never'runsfull of liquid,l Y i, Preferably the 4apertures 30 v.are arranged- Vin a row along theuppergpartlof the inner, pipe 16, as shown in Figs. 2 andj, so that, the c y jets y of the`l liquid discharged therethrough Y willl enter the 'surrounding pipev or" tubej17 at points out of alinementwith theapertures 28, and preferably spaced angularly therefrom about theaxis of the tube 17: This arrangement aids in promoting a uniform distribug. tionfof Vthe liquid tol be treated,1 4alon the leaving the apertures `30 lmay* strike and be Y spreadby the inner surface 'of the surround-V ling vpipe `or tube 17and in fiowing-downthe 110 inner surface ofthe pipe V17'. will alsobe disv 'tributedinore or less uniformlyalong ,the Y length thereof.l These features all assist in obtaining levels of the liquid in the pipef17 always substantiallyuniform Vthroughout its length, under all operating conditions.
, rlhe inner pipe 16A may also be 'provided with a srnall drainage aperture 31, in l its lower part, through which'the contents of each innerpipe may drain into' the Vsurrounding pipe' whenever the lquidsupply is-cut .Y off from the'vheadj15, and-'the'liquid thus.` draining into the outer pipeswill of course bedischarged through' the aperture 28upon the heat interchanging walls or pipes.
,Y The relative capacitiesof the apertures in the inner and Vouter .pipes 16 andv 17, is such that `during normal flow. of the liquid through, the pipes, a headof liquid will be maintained in lthe outer'tube. L
CIL
The end of the outer pipe or tube 17 which is received upon the head 15y may be provided with a slot 32, which slidingly straddles a pin or screw 33 providedy upon the Yboss 18 of the head, in order toinsure proper positioning ofthe rows of apertures 28 relatively to the heat interchange surface.
From the foregoing it will be observed that `when a liquid to be treated is forced through rrate at which the lliquid is forced into the pipe or tube 17, also independently of the height of the level of the liquid in the tube 17, and also substantially independently of the 1 distribution and size of the apertures 30 along the inner pipe 16, provided that the tube 17 never runs full of liquid. :Thus a iiow of liquid vover the heat interchanging walls yorpipes will be obtainedwhich automatically is uniformly distributed 'thereon throughout all variations in thepoperating conditions of the device. be disposed at one end of the interchanger or be in the form of a T and be disposed, as shown, between the ends of the pipes 10, 11, 12, etc. and supplying two sets of'pipes 16 and 17 extending inL opposite directions.
The device may be readily taken apart for the cleaning of all surfaces exposed to the liquids, by merely removing the caps 22 'and then removing the outer pipes 17. The inner pipesthen are exposed for the cleansing of both inner andl outer surfaces, and the passages of the head 15 are also then accessible for cleansing. The inner surface of each ypipe 17 is*k also thus conveniently accessible Afor cleansing.
vWhile there will be a short section of the pipe 10 immediately beneath the Ahead upon' which the liquid to be treated will not be directly sprayedfor discharged, this space is comparatively short compared to the whole length of the cooler, and as the liquid passes downwardly over` the pipe 10, it will tend to spread endwise of the pipefand cover this relativelyk short section. l Ordinarily, this liquid will have covered the surface along the entire length of the pipes 10, 11, 12, etc. before the bottom pipes are reached. However, it will be understood that a few holes may, if desired, be provided in the ybottom The Ahead 15 may cause some of the spattering, the avoidance of which is sought by this construction. Y t
It will be observed that with the apertures 30 in the inner pipes 16 opening upwardly, any foreign matter that may enter these pipes 16 drops to the bottom so as not to stop or clog the apertures 30 kor cut down the disl tribution or flow into, the distributing .or outer pipes 17 If the holesBO opened downwardly, any foreign matter' getting into the pipes 16 might entirely stop the apertures or ,While the invention has been described in connection with an embodiment particularly applicable for the cooling offmilk'or cream,
