I, CHARLES HENRY JOLLIFFE of Shirley Brewery, Croydon, Surrey, Brewer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is improved means and apparatus for purifying and
heating or cooling air for ventilating and temperating rooms.
For the purpose of my invention, I fit to the entrance tube of a fan or blower, a
combination of coarse and fine meshed wire-work or its equivalent and arrange
between said wire work in layers or otherwise, cotton, or woollen wadding, or other
substance capable of preventing the entrance of dust or other impurities into the
blower casing. I also fit similar or other meshed wire work with intermediate
layers or screens of cotton or woollen wadding, or the like in the outlet pipe or in a
branch, or branches therefrom according to the desired distribution of the air within a
room or building.
Certain parts of the pipes for leading the air into a building are submerged, or
arranged in a tank, or vessel containing hot or cold water for temperating it to the
desired extent whether for refrigerating, or heating the same.
The outlet apertures of
the building are also provided with similar combination screens, or otherwise, for
checking, or regulating the outflow so that the room thus acted upon can be main-
tained at any degree of heat or cold.

page_text: The invention is specially intended for the fermenting rooms of Breweries and the
like, or for fermenting vessels, and if intense cold is desired, the pipe, or pipes through
which the purified, or clarified air is passed may be arranged in an ice chest or cooling
machine, or where great heat is required, said pipes may pass through a furnace thus
adapting the invention for cold or hot aeration.
I have referred to meshed wire work but perforated screens of copper or other
material can be substituted if desired.

page_text: 1, CHARLES HENRY JOLLIFFE, of Shirley Brewery, Croydon, Surrey, Brewer do
hereby declare the nature of my said Invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
The object of the Invention is improved means and apparatus for purifying and
heating or cooling air for ventilating and attemperating rooms.
For the purpose of my Invention, which is represented at Figures 1 and 2 of the
annexed Drawings, I fit to the entrance tube A of a fan or blower B a combination of
coarse and fine meshed wire-work or its equivalent and arrange between said wire-work
in layers or otherwise, cotton or woollen wadding or other substance capable of pre-
venting the entrance of dust or other impurities into the blower casing B.
I also fit similar or other meshed wire work with intermediate layers or screens of
cotton or woollen wadding or the like in a casing C on the intermediate outlet pipe D
or in a branch or branches therefrom according to the desired distribution of the air
within an apparatus, utensil, room or building.
This pipe D I prefer to lead into a box E of which there are a series submerged or
arranged in a tank or vessel F for the air to pass in zig zag order, said boxes being
connected to pipes G G for that purpose.
The tank F is supplied with hot or cold water by the pipe H for attemperating
the air to the desired extent whether for refrigerating or for heating the same. The
air thus attemperated passes by the pipe I through another wire and fabric container
box J and issues from the nozzle K into the apartment L. The outlet apertures or
windows M of the building are also provided with similar combination screens or
otherwise for checking or regulating the outflow so that the room or apartment thus
acted upon can be maintained at any degree of heat or cold.
The Invention is specially intended for the cooling rooms, refrigerators and
fermenting rooms of Breweries and the like, or for fermenting vessels, and if intense
cold be desired the pipe or pipes through which the purified or clarified air is passed
may be arranged in an ice chest or cooling machine; or where great heat is required
said pipes may pass through a furnace, thus adapting the Invention for cold or hot
aeration.

page_text: I have referred to meshed wire work, but perforated screens of copper or other
material can be substituted if desired.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
The combination of appliances constituting an apparatus for purifying and heating
or cooling air for ventilating and attemperating rooms as described, the whole
constructed substantially as shown in the drawings.
