Complete Specification Accepted, 25th May, 1889
I, CHARLES TELLIER, of 20 Rue Félicien David, Paris, in the Republic of France,
Civil Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in the apparatus for heating, aërating and
filtering natural and artificial waters and other beverages described in the Specification
of my Patent of the 20th April 1887, No. 5777.
In carrying out my Invention I construct the apparatus of a metal chamber in
which a coil of pipe is placed. A current of cold water or steam at a suitable pressure
can, by operating conveniently placed cocks, be caused to pass through the coil. The
chamber is provided with a cock, a tube from which dips into the liquid contents
allowing of varying the pressure as required. It is also fitted with a manometer and
a safety valve. The chainber having been partly filled with water to be treated, I
cause a current of steam to pass through the coil for the purpose of heating the
water. When the heating operation is considered to be completed I pass a current
of cold water through the said coil in order to cool the water under treatment. Along
the height of the chamber I arrange cocks or taps above each other so as to be able to
successively draw off the water from near the surface and thereby avoid disturbing
the sediment.
To extract the water from the chamber containing it, I employ a pump or I place
the chamber in communication with a vessel filled with compressed air.
The water thus extracted is filtered and then placed in screw stoppered metal
bottles, care being taken not to completely fill thein. The said bottles of water are
then heated in one of the apparatuses for that purpose described in the specification
of my said patent of the 20th April 1887: the water in this manner being a second
time submitted to the action of heat.

page_text: Improvements in Apparatus for Heating, Aërating, and Filtering
Natural and Artificial Waters and other Beverages.
I, CHARLES TELLIER, of 20 Rue Felicien David, Paris, in the Republic of France,
Civil Engineer, 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:-
This invention relates to improvements in the apparatus for heating, aërating and
filtering natural and artificial waters and other beverages described in the specifica-
tion of my Patent of the 20th April 1887, No. 5777.
In the accompanying drawing, Fig. 1 is a vertical section of an apparatus for
heating natural and artificial waters and other beverages and embodying my improve-
ments the section being taken through the line of Fig. 2 which is a horizontal
section of the apparatus taken on the line a a of Fig. 1.
Similar letters in both the figures indicate similar parts.
Since the date of my said Patent I have found that it is advantageous to heat the
water twice and for this purpose I heat it first in the apparatus hereinafter described
and a second time in the bottles in which it is finally placed.
The apparatus comprises a metal chamber A A A A in which a coil of pipe B B is
placed. This chamber is perfectly air tight and in order that the air shall not
escape therefrom the safety valve C is provided with a tube D dipping into the
liquid contents. The apparatus is fitted with a manometer E and with a cock F
provided with a tube which dips into the liquid, the said cock allowing of diminishing
the pressure as required. The coil of pipe is fitted with two tubes G and H each
having two cocks. The cocks J and J¹ serve to allow a current of steam at a suitable
pressure to pass through the coil and the cocks I and I allow a current of cold water
to pass through. By this means I am enabled to sometimes heat and sometimes cool
the water contained in the chamber A A A A.
The chamber A A A A is first filled through the tube V up to the level of the
cock K which is then closed and the cocks J and J opened. The steam admitted
heats the water without any vapour or air being allowed to become disengaged there-
from in consequence of the space being completely closed in. When the heating
operation is considered to be completed the cocks J and J are closed and the
cocks I and are opened whereby a current of cold water is introduced which cools
the heated water. The water can then be withdrawn from the apparatus and filtered
and collected in a suitable vessel. As however the matters in suspension are in a
state of extreme division and it is better to leave them to settle for as long a time as
possible I draw off the cooled water successively through the cocks N O P Q R so as
to always draw off the clearest liquid that is to say the liquid which is nearest the
surface. The tube S leads to the filter and storing vessel which may both be of any
suitable construction.

page_text: The deposits which accumulate at the bottom of the vessel A A A A are driven out
through the cock T. A cock U allows of the introduction under a suitable pressure
of air, carbonic acid, or other gas into the water. The injection of the same
is effected as shown in Figure 2 by means of a curved nozzle in such a manner as to
communicate a movement of rotation to the water thereby assisting the dissolution of
the gases in the same.
The cock Z has for object the introduction of air under pressure into the apparatus
for the purpose of compressing the water so as to force it out without disturbing the
sediments. This pressure can be produced by means of a pump but it is preferable
to employ a reservoir of compressed air in order to produce a permanent pressure.
To prevent the accumulation of nitrogen above the water I allow a small current of
air to escape through the cock Z-This cock may be used in combination with a
pressure regulating valve.
The water thus treated in the herein before described apparatus is heated a second
time in the receivers described in my said former Patent. As however the matters
in suspension are deposited, I can introduce the water already treated to be heated
a second time into a bottle without a filter.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The improved apparatus for treating natural and artificial waters and other
beverages substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accompanying
drawing.
