3296. Bennett, J. E., and Bennett, J. E. Feb. 11. Condensers; evaporators.-Relates to tubular apparatus for heating, distilling, condensing, and concentrating liquids &c. The two vertical or inclined end chests a, b, Fig. 1, are united by horizontal tubes c which are stepped thereinto and connect the interiors of the chests. Through these tubes smaller tubes d pass from the outer face of the one chest to the outer face of the other, being flanged and bolted to the chest a. At the opposite.end of the tube a stuffing-box b3 permits of expansion and contraction. Steam or other heating-fluid or cooling-fluid is admitted by a pipe e and passes out by the trunnion g ; or, by using a second trunnion h for admission, the set of tubes can be rotated to any inclined position. Stops b1 may be placed in the chests between alternate pairs of tubes to cause the steam to pass through adjacent horizontal tubes in opposite directions The liquid which is to be cooled or heated flows within the tubes d and about the tubes c ; and the active fluid passes inside the tubes c and around the tubes d. In other forms the chests are horizontal and the tubes vertical. For treating wort, the chests are ring-shaped and horizontal, with vertical tubes arranged in a circle.
