The walls ofvthe body portion near the bottom converge to form a collecting chiamber or combiningtube l() which decreases in cross sectional area from itsinlet ll to its outlet l2. A'castiig 13,(by means of bolts let, is secured to the bodyportion and has a diffuser l5 formed therein. The Walls 16 of the diffuser diverge so that its outlet 17 is larger than its inlet 18, which inlet is arranged axially Ain line with the collecting chamber 10. Casting 13 is of such shape that a chamber 19 is rovided whichV sur rounds and connects with the outlet of the collecting chamber and the inlet of the diffuser. y Chamber l? is connected to the condensing chamber by `sans of a passage 20 cored in the bodl 'l j ion. andf'vhich terminates at one end "in a por, 2l leading into themendensinf"chamber and at the other end in a recess @which forms a portion of chamber 19. The passage 20 operates as an equalizing passitge and insures the same pressure in the chamber .19 as that existing in the chamber 9. Avv 1th this arrangement' the stream of liquid ejected from the outlet'12 does not have to overcome an. increase of pressure in entering thechamber 19.

' A cover cast, in two sections 23 and 24 bolted together atQ is secured to the body portion by means of bolts 26.

An' ihipeller 2T carrying an annular row of blades (28 'is mounted onshaft 29 joue' naledhin. bearings B0 which are located between the bodv portion 8 and the cover forned by sections 23 and 24. desired speed by means .of an electric motor 31. which, of course, 1f`des1red,may be replaced by any other type ol motor, such as a steam or Water turbine or a reciprocatinfr engine., l

Section 24 ot' the co'ver is cored so 'as to providey a water chamber 32 having an inlet -l adaptedto be connected. to a suitable source ot' supply of condensing' water. The chamber 32 has a tubular all 34 which snrrounds thc hnbof the impeller and also has im outlet 3.7 provided with partition. vanos 3l?. "lhc chamber 212 and th@l outlet 2. which laltcr may lic tei-mcd o now/.lc lic within the ring described bythe blalcs l The shaft is adapted to be rotatedat thev The faces 37 of the shroudsor ends of.

the .bladesdiverge; therefore, the Water projected by the blades 4will be in. the nature of.. lil1ns or leaves of fan-like formation and at the velocity imparted .to them will be projected toward the collecting chamber. In this Way a minute subdivision of thewater is attained `and it has been found that the' capacity of such a stream or jet for condensing stcam'or vapor andfor removing air or other non-condensable frases and uncondensed vapor, is extremely liigh.-

rThe operationof the device s as 'follows'.

rThe vstream comprising the succession of separate leaves or filmsof liquid discharged from the rotating impeller` travels downwardly through the chamber 9 and is received by the collecting chamber 10, Where it. is compressed and' rendered more' compact and from which it is dischar ed, due to its initial velocity, into the d1 user or transformer The velocity ci the liquid is converted into pressure as theliquid.

traverses the diffuser. The films or leaves or' water discharged from the impeller blades operate as a series of separate pistons' l inv traversing the chamber 9 and the tube l() and thev .irremoved from the chamber 9 is conti ed between adjacent films or leaves and fis ejected from the condensing chamber the Water.

I have found by experience that itias` de- I,

` srable to; have the separate leaves, orthe .stream composedof the separate leaves, projected from'the impeller into the con- (lensing` chamber, at a point between the admission port, through which air enters the chamber, and the discharge )ort from which the air is ejected.` In a dition to this. I find it desirable tlconfine the leaves or -`1lms of liquid by 'means of the walls of the tube ortubular passais through which they more -in order to o tain the highest efficiency. By providing such a tube or passage, thc analogy between the operation olfv cach leaf, traversing the passage, and a,y piston will bc more marked.' My theory is, that the leal', at the time 'ot' its formation and lsubset]uently', must bc subjected to substantially equal pressures on both sides, or else it will break into a muss of separato drops :md be renderedv loss cficctivc as a lluifl translating agent.A

As the separate",leaves travel down- Anumber ofsaid blades less than the total 'discharge liquid into said chamber and total number thereof.
