An Improved Apparatus for Cooling or Heating Liquids.
JAMES GEORGE DAVIES 19 Tuilerie Street Hackney Road in the County of
London Bar Fitter and Refrigerator Maker do hereby declare the nature of this.
invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved arrangement especially applicable for
cooling or heating malt and other liquors as a circulating refrigerator or heater
by which any degree of temperature can be obtained by a specially constracted
three free way regulating cock and an improved method of regulating and equally.
distributing liquids to be cooled or heated.
The apparatus consists of a series of tubes with inlet and outlet chambers at
each end thereof.
The coolers are immersed either in ice or boiling water as may be required in a.
cabinet provided and fitted for the purpose.

An Improved Apparatus for Cooling or Heating Liquids.
JAMES GEORGE DAVIES 19 Tuilerie Street Hackney Road in the County of
London Bar Fitter and Refrigerator Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature.
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
On the accompanying drawings
Figure 1 represents a sectional elevation of the improved apparatus adapted for
use as a refrigerator or heater for malt liquids.
Figure 2 represents a cylinder which can be used for either cooling or heating.
Figure 3 represents a specially constructed cock showing full way at inlet A.
half way to inlet B and outlet D. The key X moved in either direction increases.
or decreases the temperature and if placed in line with inlet B shuts off the beating.
or refrigerating leaving a free flow of liquor from the cellar and if placed in a line.
with inlet A will leave full flow of heating or refrigerating.
The apparatus is constructed of a hollow square as shown in Figure 1 outlet D.
passing from regulator T over top of case H to junction outlet which is always.
open, inlet B descending into chamber Q thence passing through cylinder E and
nipples S to outlet chamber O and ascending through pipe C meeting junction at
outlet D to engine (not shewn).
The cylinder E is constructed with a series of tubes or a single cylinder (not.
shewn) having a chamber at each end thereof, each tube is sorewed through back
of chambers and Q and is held in position by screw caps which have a nipple S.

page_text: (Figure 2) and screw caps R (Figure 2). The nipples are in proportion
collectively to inlet A which causes equal distribution to all parts of oylinders,
chambers and Q are provided with a screw caps V (Fig. 2) which can be
removed to regulate nipples S (Fig. 2) shown as heater. The oylinders are also
made plain in single cylinders provided with in and outlet chambers, holes in lieu
of Dipples, without outer screw cap V (Fig. 2).
The outer casings are made in two parts the bottom forming tank which is zinc
lined and provided with a copper well for heating purposes with draw off cock.
There is also an overflow W. When used as a refrigerator the top case is filled
with ice through door G and is supported on false bottom P which protects
cylinders E. The top case H exteuding into bottom case K has a projection
at each side resting on case K to enable inlet and ontlet pipes to run outside
same.
The apparatus is suspended from the joists of the collar by four iron plates M.
The bottom case K is attached to the upper case by four strap irons L and is held
in position by four thumb screws N which on being removed will allow of case K
being removed for cleaning and changing cylinders.
Figure 1 is shewn as a heater in which case only one or two tubes in the
cylinder are required to be used, but for refrigerating the whole of the tubes
are used.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inveu-
tion and in what manner the sanie is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is
1. A specially constructed regulating cock.
2. In combination-an improved method for equally distributing liquids to
be cooled or heated by chambers as hereinbefore described to any required
temperature.
