Improvements relating to the Charging and Combining of Liquids
with Carbonic Acid Gas and to Apparatus therefor.
I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the Firm of Haseltine, Lake & Co., Patent
Agents, 45 Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex, 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 :-
My invention relates to a process of charging and treating fermented or unfer-
mented wort, cordials, distilled liquors or other liquids with carbonic acid gas, and
consists in drawing liquid from a tank, releasing it of hydraulic pressure, then
charging the same with carbonic acid gas, and subjecting the charged liquid to a
pressure, then reducing the said pressure.
My invention also consists in first subjecting liquid to a high pressure and then
Low
to a pressure or vice-versa, then releasing the same of both pressures, charging
the said liquid with carbonic acid gas, then compressing and combining the charged
liquid while in motion, under high, or combined high and low pressure, and
maintaining the same after charging.
My invention further comprises a novel method or process and means for charging
or fortifying fermented or unfermented liquids or distilled liquids with carbonic
acid gas by hydraulic pressure. To this end I lead a small stream of liquid into a
charging device and highly charge the said liquid with carbonic acid gas, also led
into the said charging device from a gas supply tank. I then spray or mix the
highly charged liquid and gas with a passing stream of liquid which is released of
hydraulic pressure, the said released stream of liquid leading from a partially filled
releasing tank into and through said charging device, the whole of the liquid and
gas thus charged and mixed being drawn from the charging device by a pump or
its equivalent, and is then forced by the same through a strainer into a compressing
vessel filled to its full capacity, where the said charged liquid is compressed by
or under hydraulic pressure, thereby thoroughly combining the liquid and gas and
at the same time displacing a portion of the liquid under pressure in said vessel,
the displaced liquid then passing through a strainer into the expanding and releasing
vessel, where it is released of said pressure as before. This process may then be
repeated until the whole of the liquid is sufficiently charged. The said partially
filled expanding and releasing vessel having a gas and air space above the liquid
for the purpose of receiving the air and gas which does not combine with the
liquid. The gas thus received may then be used for charging or re-charging the
liquid, and the air, or air and gas may be allowed to escape through a vent valve.
attached to the said releasing vessel.
My invention also comprises a charging apparatus of novel construction which is
shown in the accompanying drawing in which,
Figure 1 represents a partial vertical section and partial side elevation of an
apparatus embodying my invention and
Figure 2 represents a longitudinal section of a detached portion drawn to an
enlarged scale.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.
▲ designates the high pressure combining and regulating tank, and P designates

page_text: the expanding and releasing tank. T' designates the low pressure combining vat
or vessel.
N designates the charging apparatus, the same having connected to it the
pipes V, M, S and Ps. The pipe V leads from the cylinders or tanks W, which
contain carbonic acid gas. The pipe M leads from the bottom of the vessel A.
The pipe S connects the vessel P with the injector R2. The pipe S leads from
said injector to the charging apparatus.
Connected with said injector is a pipe T
which leads from the top of the vessel P.
G designates a pump which is connected with the charging apparatus by means
of a pipe U.
F designates a pipe or hose which leads from the pump G to the strainer 3*
and F a pipe which leads from said strainer to the vessel A. Connected to the
bottom of the vessel P by means of a pipe J, is a cylinder R, which is adapted for
compressing the charged liquid therein under low pressure and with which is con-
nected a hose J333 and a strainer 2* and a pipe O, the latter being attached to the
hose J, J, leading from the upper and lower ends of the low pressure combining
tank or vessel T2 and opening into the same.
The said low pressure combining vat or vessel T2 is connected to the vessel A by
means of a pipe J¹, strainer 1x and pipe J³. The low pressure regulating
cylinder R is provided with a liquid pressure gauge V³, a safety valve V, and a
valve or cock V. The said regulating cylinder R is connected with the vessel P
by the pipe Js which is provided with a regulating valve R¹. The vessel P is
provided with a gas pressure gauge X, safety valve X¹ valve or cock X³, an
adjustable blow-off valve a, valve or cock X' and a vent valve Y. The vessel A
is provided with a liquid pressure gauge Z, safety valve Z', valve or cock Z³ and
the pipe J having a regulating valve K.
The strainers the low pressure regulating cylinder R and the regulating and
check valves herein described may be of any suitable construction. The
vessels A T2 and P may be provided with a suitable bung or a cock or pipe
not shown to facilitate the filling of the said vessels. The said strainers are shown
as consisting of an inner perforated vessel into which the liquid is conducted and
an outer vessel from which the liquid is withdrawn.
The operation is as follows. The vessels A and T are filled with a liquid to
their utmost capacity, and the vessel P is only partially filled with liquid. All the
cocks or valves are opened with the exception of valve B, valve C, valve Z' and
valve V', the pump G is then started, expelling all air through the vent valve Y
which is then closed and the operation of the pump continued.
An hydraulic pressure is now produced on the liquids in the high and low
pressure combining and regulating vessels A and T2 by means of the liquid which
has been released of hydraulic pressure coming from the releasing and expanding
vessel P, through the pipe P into the end chamber of the charging apparatus N,
then through the pipe U to the pump, and from thence through the pipe F, and
strainer 3* and through pipe F1 the area of which pipe F is greater than that of
the outlet valve K or K' which is connected to the top of the vessel A or strainer 1×
thereby producing a high pressure on said liquid in the vessel A. The liquid 13
then forced under said pressure from the said vessel through the valve K and the
pipe into and through the strainer 1*, valve K', and pipe J2, into the low
pressure combining cask or vessel T2 and through the pipes J³, J33 into the fork O,
forming one confluent stream, then through the strainer 2x to the regulating
cylinder by pipe J333 and valve D the displaced liquid passing through said regu-
lating cylinder and valve R' being discharged into the releasing and expanding
vessel P, by the pipe J' where it is released of its pressure, the valve R', by either
increasing or decreasing the extent of opening thereof, or the hose J33 regulating
the pressure as desired in the low pressure cask or vessel T.
In order to obtain a high pressure in the tank A the pump is started and the
regulating valve K or K is turned so as to regulate the hydraulic pressure to say
twenty pounds indicated on the gauze Z, the operation of the pump being kept up

page_text: after the said pressure is reached in order to maintain the same at that point. To
obtain the low pressure in the tank T, the regulating valve R' or the hose Ja³ are
operated so as to regulate the pressure say in this case to ten pounds and by having
this extra pressure, the pressure in the tank A is increased from twenty to say
twenty-five pounds. By thus operating with these pressures, there is obtained the
advantage of a full stream of liquid discharging into the releasing and expanding
tank P, and a higher or lower pressure may be obtained by means of the valves K
or K or R' or by the hose J3 and the speed of the pump G.
After having regulate.l the high and the low pressure the main flow of carbonic
acil gas is turned on, the same passing through the pipe V into the middle chamber
of the apparatus N, charging the liquid coming from the vessels A and P through
the pipes M and S into the inner and outer chambers of said apparatus, the charged
liquid and gas being then sprayed or mixed with the liquid coming into and through
the end chamber of the apparatus N from the vessel P, through pipe P³ through
the tube U to the pump G whence it is forced through the pipe F through the
strainer 3* and through the pipe F into the liquid under a high pressure in the
vessel A, where the charged liquid and gas become compressed and thoroughly
combined, it at the same time displacing under said pressure a portion of the high
compressed and combined liquid through the strainer 1* into the low compressed
liquid in the vat or vessel T2, where it combines with its carbonic acid gas with the
low compressed liquid, at the same time displacing under pressure a portion of the
low compressed and combined liquid through the strainer 2* and low pressure
regulating cylinder R into the vessel P where it is released and expanded of its
pressure and uncombined carbonic acid.
This process is continued until the liquid in the vat or vessel T2 is sufficiently
charged with carbonic acid gas, when it is confined under pressure until it is
sufficiently combined, when it is ready to be handled for further use, or put into
small packages.
I will now describe another part of my invention.
A designates a compressing and combining vessel, which is to be filled with
liquid to its utmost capacity the said vessel being provided with safety valves
pressure gauges and valve or cocks. Connected with the bottom of said vessel A
is the valve E, with which the tube F is connected the said tube leading from
the top of the strainer 3*. Connected with the bottom of the strainer 3* is
the tube F leading to the pump G, whereby the liquid is directed into the
vessel A.
Also connected with the bottom of said vessel A is the valve H to which the
tube M is attached and leads to the charging apparatus N. Connected with the
top of the vessel A is the regulating valve K, with which the tube J' is connected
and leading to the bottom of the strainer 1*. Connected with the top of the said
strainer 1 is the regulating valve K', to which the tube J2 is attached, leading to
a valve B, and into the regulating cylinder R, which is provided with a pressure
gauge, safety valve and sample spigot C, and connected with the hottom of the
expanding and releasing vessel P, by the pipe J³, the latter having the regulating
valve R' between the said releasing vessel P and cylinder R, and the said vessel P
being only partially filled with liquid.
Connected with the bottom of said vessel P is the valve P2, the same being
connected with the pipe or hose P³ which leads to the charging apparatus N.
The vessel P for obvious reasons is also provided with a safety valve and
pressure gauges. Connected with the valve X of the vessel P is a pipe T which
is provided with a check valve T' and leads to the injector R².
U designates a pipe which is connected with one end of the charging apparatus N
and with the pump G. V designates a pipe which is connected with the charging
apparatus N and with the carbonic acid gas supply tanks W, the said pipe V being
provided with a regulating valve V', pressure gauge V2, a valve V and check
valve V which prevents back pressure of gas or liquors in valves. The charging
apparatus Figure 2 consists of a shell N having therein the tubular plug N*

page_text: containing passage N³, the inlet pipe M being connected with said plug, the
surrounding plug Nxx forms the inner chamber N' with which the pipe V is in
communication, and the tubular plug N*** which communicates with the passage N³
and chamber N', N2 and has around it the chamber N with which the pipe P³ is in
communication, the end of said plug forming a seat for the valve N³. The shell 'N
has a nozzle N**** with which the discharge pipe U is connected.
The operation is as follows: The compressing vessel A is filled with liquid to its
fullest capacity, and the releasing or expanding vessel P being only partially filled
with liquid.
All the valves which are connected with the two vessels are opened, with the
exception of valves D, 1, and L L', and the pump G is started at a regular speed
and operated until the gurgling sound in the vessel P has ceased the said sound
baving been caused by air passing through the liquid in the vessel P, the air
coming from air-filled spaces in the hose pipes and pump and other places and it is
allowed to escape through the vessel P by opening the vent valve Y until the air
is expelled when said valve is again closed. I now create an hydraulic pressure in
the compressing vessel A by pumping liquid into said vessel the area of whose inlet
pipe is greater than that of the discharge valve K or K' the latter being partly
closed, when the pump slows up somewhat. I then regulate the pump to a speed
necessary to increase the hydraulic pressure as desired, or vice versa.
The carbonic acid gas is now turned on, the same passing through the tube V
into the chamber N₁ of the charging apparatus N, and highly charging a small
stream of liquid with gas, the small stream being forced from the compressing
vessel A, and passing through the tube M into said charging apparatus. The
highly charged liquid and gas is then sprayed or mixed with the released and
expanded stream of liquid in the chamber N of the charging apparatus, the said
released and expanded liquid coming from vessel P through the tubing P³. The
'whole of the gas charged liquid is then forced by a pump or its equivalent through
pipe F the strainer 3* and the pipe F into the compressing and combining
vessel A, where it is subjected to a hydraulic pressure, thereby thoroughly
combining the liquid and gas. At the same time it displaces a portion of the
hydraulic compressed liquid from said vessel A, the said liquid passing through
pipe J¹ into and through strainer 1*, pipe J2 and valve B into and through the
regulating cylinder R, then through valve R' and pipe J and into the expanding
and releasing vessel P, where it is released of its hydraulic pressure, allowing the
liquid to expand, and relieving it of the carbonic acid gas with which it did not
combine, the same rising to the top of the liquid. As the liquid is being constantly
charged and constantly streaming in and out of the vessels and the charging
apparatus, the uncombined carbonic acid gas naturally collects in the vessel P and
the pressure will become greater, it being noticed that the release valves a of the
vessel P being set one-half or one-third less than what the hydraulic pressure is.
For instance, if such pressure is twelve pounds, then we set said release valve at
six pounds, or if the hydraulic pressure is fifteen pounds, we set the valve at five
pounds, but it is evident that we can work with a high and lower pressure if so
required. When the pressure is greater, as above stated, then at whatever pressure
the valve a is set, it will open the valve a and enter through the pipe or hose T into
the injector K2, where it enters along with the liquid coming from the vessel P
through pipe S¹ and injector R2 pipe S to chamber N2 of the charging apparatus N.
When this occurs, the main supply of gas may be shut off until the pressure in the
vessel P is again reduced, then the main supply of gas may be turned on again,
when the same process is carried on as before.
The liquid of the vessel P, the gas and the stream of compressed liquid of the
vessel A are kept constantly passing through separate tubes or pipes leading into
the different chambers of the charging apparatus, from whence the combined liquid
and
gas is pumped and forced through the strainer into the compressing and
combining vessel A, where it immediately becomes compressed and thoroughly
combined under an hydraulic pressure, and it displaces at the same time a portion

page_text: of the hydraulic compressed liquid from the vessel A, the then displaced liquid
enters the vessel P through the strainer 1* valve B, regulating cylinder R, valve R¹
and pipe J. This is repeated until the liquid is sufficiently charged with the gas.
I find it advantageous to continue pumping, and employ the hydraulic pressure up
to eighteen pounds, more or less, by increasing the speed of the pump, or regulating
the valve R by which the liquid becomes combined more quickly and better.
Should it be necessary to store the liquid, then I confine the same under a pressure
from ten to fifteen pounds more or less, excepting however the liquid in the vessel P,
which has no hydraulic pressure, but has a gas pressure of about six pounds, this
being cut-off from the vessel A by the valves K, E and H.
It is evident that the number of vessels may be increased without departing from
the nature of the invention.
I expand and release the liquid of its hydraulic pressure because the released
and expanded liquid may be charged with carbonic acid gas more freely than when
the same is compressed.
It is evident that I may lead the small stream of liquid which is highly charged
with gas from vessels A or P, instead of vessels A and P, or two or more
liquids of different characters may be led into the charging apparatus which may
be highly charged with gas before spraying or mixing with the released stream as
specified.
The strainers 1× 2x and 3* are highly necessary for the purpose of holding back
any matters that are liable to stop up the chambers of the charging apparatus N.
The strainers also simultaneously thoroughly mix the charged liquid with its
gas, thereby causing the said gas to be absorbed much quicker and in a more
efficient manner.
Any strainer may be used. By a hydraulic pressure I mean a water or other
fluid pressure having a resistance either absolute or partial.
In absolute resistance, when the fluid is forced into an entirely closed vessel
having an inlet only, a hydraulic pressure immediately occurs in the vessel, if the
force of said fluid leading into said vessel is continued after said vessel is filled to
its capacity.
In partial resistance, when the fluid is forced into a closed vessel having an inlet
and an outlet, then the hydraulic pressure takes place in said vessel only. When
the outlet of said fluid is smaller than the inlet stream, said hydraulic pressure is
raised or lowered by increasing or reducing the outlet of said vessel relatively to
the inlet of the same, and by increasing or reducing the speed of the stream of
fluid produced by the force medium viz.: a pump or its equivalent.
I preferably employ the latter method. This I only apply to the liquid or fluid
which is already charged with carbonic acid gas for the purpose of thoroughly
combining the liquid and gas.
Before charging the liquid with the gas, the liquid is released of pressure. The
gas is then freely taken up in and between the small molecules of the fluid or liquid
when charged with said gas.
It is then drawn from the charger and forced by a pump or its equivalent into
and through a compressing vessel having and maintaining a desired hydraulic
pressure for the purpose of bringing the small molecules of liquid and gas into
closer contact with one another, the fluid being thereby compelled to combine with
the gas, and is consequently retained thereby.
In all other methods of charging, the ordinary pump pressure is used only for
the purpose of forcing the uncharged liquid in and through the charger. In all of
such cases the gas is charged directly into the forced stream, which is released
immediately after charging, and then conveyed into a vessel until the same shows
a certain gas pressure, but the gas is not well taken up, first on account of being
charged into a forced stream, and next because that the gas that is taken up is not
well combined on account of being released of pressure after charging, a large
part of the gas flowing into the charger naturally escaping from said fluid or
liquid.
