(C1. 2oz-rss) Thisfinwerntnnsrelates te adistilling lapparatus, and Ycontemplates among =its vimportant 'objects and .advantages toprovide an ,apparatus of `Athe character-described, which iszeiciently operable to -idistill any distillable "liquid, -which will .fraictionate and separately collect: the; distillate in accordance with the degreeyotfthe latter'sfresistance .to total vaporizationeand tsrsusceptibility :to i condensation, -whichi functions automatically --during the distilling '.operation, which. is simple in` its construction and-arrangement, positive in its action, -and .comparatively economical in :its manufacture, installation, operation and maintenance.
With the Aforegoing.andiother objects ,in .View which will appear as vthe descriptionproceeds, the.invention resides in .thelnovel construction, combination and Yarrangement, .of .parts herein specifically described ,.and'illustratedin the ac companying drawing, 'butit is 'to-.be understood that .the .latter is merely illustrative of an embodiment of thelinvention, and 'that theactual needs of practice and manufacture may require certain. mechanical variations 'from the embodiment shown. It is, therefore, not intended to limit'the invention to .the disclosure thereof .here-` inillustrated, but rather'to denne such limita-l tions in the scope of the claims hereunto appended.
In the drawing, thelureis'a front elevational view of a distillin'g apparatus constructed in accordance with and embodying the present invention.
Referring in detail to the drawing I denotes a boiler or still, and 2 represents a condenser. The latter and said boiler or still may be of any suitable construction for the purpose employed. The still includes a removable head 4, which is connected with one end of a conduit or pipe 3. The latter is disposed horizontally and employed for conveying the distillates from the still to a condenser 2, or to any other type of receiver required, and may be insulated with any suitable material to prevent or minimize loss of heat therefrom.
The condenser 2 includes a condenser coil 5, which is connected with the pipe 3 by means of a drop pipe 28 and a tting 29. The latter is provided with a control valve 30 and connects with an extension pipe also provided with a control valve 3|. By the regulation of the valves 30 and 3l the distillates may be selectively directed either into the condenser through the pipe 28, or to any other provided receiver through the pipe 36.
4fhestill :I Vis, provided with .all necessary appurtenances, .includingfaf content gaugei, a. pres sure .gauge l, a.drain-.valve.25,.:an automatically operable pressure relief valve 26, and :an 'inlet frtting .'2l. The condenser 2 iseprovi'ded withsa drain cock 8, an inlet tting 32, .and antove-riiow ttln'g 321. .Apairfof receptacles, respectively indicatedat ,9 and Hl, is suspended :from thelpipe 3. The receptacle S is carried .rand communicably joined 4with theipipe -3 .byxa fitting 'i3 ihaving a control .valvef and .by a '.sinuous suspension tube M. The receptacle 9 isdisposed adjacent to the still I., 'andtherecept-acle Iiltis spacedxfromthef former. The receptacle Hl is likewise .carried and lcommunicably joined Withthe pipe 3 ,by a tting 45 including-1a control valve .34, and-by-a straight or preferably a sinuous suspension tube i6, 4.as shown.
The condenser carries a receptacle all, which is communicably-connected-with the top-convolu- .tionrof the ccndensercoil 5 by means-of a `suspension tube 24, whichlatter isprovided Witha control Valve A35. .The receptacles 9, AHJ .and LI are preferably constructed of glass to'visiblyfdisplay their contents, ,but obviously .may be constructed of any other suitable material. .Each of the receptacles isprovided with a drain .valve -l2 operableforremovingthe contents therefrom .whenrequired While the disclosed-embodiment of the invention shows but two receptacles 9 and IU suspended from the pipe 3, it is to be noted and understood that the number of such receptacles and the spaced relations of the latter may be varied and employed to best meet any required condition found in practice, without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any advantages of the invention.
It is, of course, apparent that the receptacles 9, I0 and I l, may be supported in any other suitable manner, but it is essential to the successful operation of the device that the receptacles with their suspension elements allow gravity ow of any matter to be deposited therein during the distilling operations.
A tubular glass cylinder Il is connected in the pipe 3 adjacent to the condenser 2, and a similar tubular glass cylinder I8 is carried at the lower end of the condenser and is connected with the lower or outlet end of the condenser coil 5. The glass cylinders Il and I8 are susceptible to the penetration of ultra-violet rays, and an ultraviolet ray lamp I9, carried by an adjustable x ture 20 mounted on the pipe 3, is associated with the cylinder Il. In like manner, an ultra-violet is placed within the still and heated to create and produce continuous vaporization of the said liquid. Such vaporization or distillate in vapor form will rise in the still to enter and pass intoy All distillates retaining their fulll vapor form will pass through the entire lengt-l1v the pipe 3.
of the pipe 3 into the condenser 2 or into any other provided receiver. However, all of the distillate will not retain its pure or full vaporl form, `as the process of condensation will begin as soon vas the vaporized distillate passes into the pipe 3 from the' still, and such condensation Will increase in proportion to the increasing distance vof travel of the distillate Within the pipe 3 from the still.
As the condensed distillates form within the conveying pipe 3, it will beremoved or drained from the latter in the sequence of its formation, and collected in the various receptacles 9 and I0 provided for that purpose. If the control valve 35 is open condensed distillates'will also be removed frorn the top of the condenser coil 5.
If the distilling apparatus is employed for distilling alcoholic spirits from fermented liquors, all fusel oil and deleterious acids are completely removed from the distillate. In like manner, if the device be employed in the distillation of oils or any other distillable liquids, the entire variety of readily condensible distillates forming Within the conveying pipe 3, is removed and collected in the various spaced receptacles in the sequence in which the latter are positioned in their con; nection with the pipe 3. Such collected distil; lates may be valuable, worthless, or of any nature or character whatsoever, but any distillates Iso forming in the pipe 3 are removed in the operation of the improved apparatus.
The use of the sinuous suspension tubes I4 and I5 retards the gravity flow of the liquid matter from the pipe 3 into the receptacles 9 and I (l, whereby such matter is cooled to some extent and is not liable to fracture the glass receptacles receiving same. constructed of copper, heat-resisting glass, or of any other suitable material.
During the passage of the distillates through the glass cylinder I1, prior to condensation, and during the passage of the condensed distillates 10 through the cylinder I8 subsequent to' condensation, the product will be twice subjected to treatment by ultra-violet rays from the operation of the lamps I9 and 2|. Such treatment may be employed to add valuable and essential vitamin l5 constituents to the product if the latter is of the character to be used for human consumption.
vFrom the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, thel construction and the method of operation of the invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art to which the invention appertains. Extensive experiments have conclusively proven that a distillingapparatus constructed and operated in accordance with the present disclosure, g5 Willfunction economically and emciently for the purposes and in the manner setiforth. v
What we claim is: In a distilling apparatus of the character described, thev combination of a still, a condenser s0 including a coil? a horizontally disposed pipe connecvted with saidv still and--with said condenser, a ltubular glass cylinder connected in said pipe adjacent to said condenser, a tubular glass cylinder connected to the lower end ofv said-coil, a 3.3 plurality of vsinuous tubes connected with and depending from said pipe` in spaced relation to each other, a receptacle lcarried by eachv of said tubes 'for 'separatingjand 'collecting by gravity action liquefied matter from' the distillate during 40 the vpassage* of the latter through said pipe, a receptacleconnected adjacent to the upper end of said coil for draining liqueedmatter from the' top of said coil, and a pair of lamps adjust' ably supported by the apparatus and acting on i5 respective said cylinders operable for treating the distillate to ultra-violet' rays''prior and subsequent to condensation.
