REFmGERATINe-coNDENsER FOR olsTiLLERs.

\ Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 45,003, dated Norcmbcr 8, 1864.

To au zyhbm it may concern.-

` Be it known that I, FRANooIs HAECK, a subject of the King of Belgium, residing at Brussels,- Bclgium, have invented an Improved RefrigeratingfCondenser for Condensing the;

Vapors Produced in the Process of Distillation; and I do hereby decla-re that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of my invention. l

Figure fl is a vertical section of the refrigerating-condenser. It is composed of .four ves- VVsels, a b c d, fitted to each other ata veryslight distance apart.

Between thesides'of the vesselsa b and those of the vessels c rlrefrigerating-water circulates.- It enters continuously through thefunnels e e', and issues continuously bypipesj ,fit/L '.The vaporto-be condensedentersbya pipe, T", into a large jacket, b', froniwhich it spreads into the thin space contained between the sides of the Vessel Z c, 'which give it the form of anextremely thin cylindrical :film in contact on bothsides with refrigerativing-water, which is incessantly renewed, all,

in thin films. The liquid arising `from the condensation of vthe vapor falls into the space contained between the .bottoms of b and c, and rises therein up to the height of the exit-pipe j in such manner that 'the liquid remains inI the bottom of 4the apparatus sufficiently long to be reduced to the 'temperature of the'ad joining water, the stream'of which surrounds -it on both sides.

In 'order to allow the air which the vapor may 'carrywith itvto escape from the space inwhich the condensation of the vapor takes `place,'there isA immediately above the'level of the-condensed liquid a 'number of pipes, o,

.which terminate at top ina vhorizonts'tl'' circu;v lar lpip'e, endingin a vertical'pipe of solli-A cient size communicating at `the-top ofthe- 'le'velof the water with .the external air. Byf

der that the sides thereof may be cleansed by ha'nd. The interior surfaces of the two vessels b c, which are in contact with the alco. hol, are tinned. The v breadth of the narrow spaces. for the water and the vapor is varia.-

'ble, according `to the workto be performed, and the apparatus is constructed accordingly,

retaining, however, the capability'o'f unfastening thevessels b c for cleansing. The alcoh'olic'liquid may also be allowed` to iow o ut directly and) immediately, without remaining in the reservoir, by the "exit-pipe j. In -such case the air-pipes o are unnecessary, as the air escapes by the same pipe th rough which the alcoholic liquid arisingirom condensation flows."

The apparatus may .be constructed of any dimensions as regards breadth and-height,

according ,to thehamountpf work to be `performed;

R is a cock for drawing off the liquid from b c at the end of the operation. Fig. 2 is a'plan of the apparatus. Instead of the cylindrical form of the refrigerating-condenser, Figs. 1 and 2 any other form may be employed,l if the other conditions of the construction of the .apparatus be preserved. Thus, for example, the develop ment of a cylinder being rectangular or ob'-` long, this refrigerating-condenser may be constructed in the form represented in elevation in Fig. 3, in vertical section in Fig. 4, in hori- -zontal section in' Fig. 5, and in plan in Fig. 6.'

The outlets and inlets for the refrigerated element and the refrigerating element at top and bottom of theapparatus areA formed according to the arrangement shown 'in Fig. 1.

It is evident that the aerating-pipes o andl the exit-pipejfor-the liquid arising from the `condensed,vapor may be. ttedL--to' the apparatus, Figs. 3, 4, 5,. 6,'asjeasily as to 'tl'.eap'- 'paratus Figs'. `1 and 2.

i The construction'of the refriger'atlng condensin g apparatus of dat rectangula'rforui may .be such that the four parts-.two'together `in .j uxtapositionwhich forni the apparatus may `befentirely separated for cleansing. j The partsmay be 'united yby screwed bolts.

The combination of the aforesaid con- Condensed, and exposing broad condensingdenser with pipes for the escape of air, subsurfuces, in such manner that the parts may stantially as set; forth.
