Improvements in Apparatus for the Purification of Gas.
1, WASSILY KUSNEZOFF in St. Petersburg, Nevski, Perspective 47 do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists in a cooler or condenser of a peculiar construction for
purifying gas obtained from Naphtha (crude petroleum).
The cooler consists of a metallic casing having the form of a parallelopiped. This
casing is divided by a horizontal partition or plate in two compartments communi-
cating with each other only by a vertical pipe or duct. The lower chamber into
which the gas to be purified enters by an opening is filled up with vertical partitions
which cross each other at right angles and form a great number of vertical channels
or ducts (say from 64 to 500) communicating with each other alternately at the
bottom of the casing above the level of the water contained therein, and under the
horizontal partition. By this arrangement the gas must pass consecutively through
all the vertical channels or ducts of the lower chamber. The vertical partitions
beginning at some distance from the plate do not reach the bottom of the casing, so
that the water is at the same level in all the channels or ducts. In passing under
the lower edges of the vertical partitions the gas is brought in contact with the
water which retains the particles of naphtha contained therein (and which may have
escaped the hydraulic main) the said gas being thereby cooled.
After passing through all the channels or ducts of the lower chamber, the gas
ascends by the metallic tube or duct into the upper chamber, this chamber being
filled with water to one third of its height. In the upper chamber-there is arranged
a number of metallic partitions parallel to each other which form a serpentine like
channel, where the gas is finally purified and discharged from the apparatus by an
outlet opening.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Apparatus for the Purification of Gas.
1, WASSILY KUSNEZOFF, of St. Petersburg, Nevski Perspective 47, in the Empire
of Russia, 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 consists in a cooler or condenser of a peculiar construction for
purifying gas obtained from naphtha (crude petroleum).
In the accompanying drawing
Figure 1 represents a vertical section of my cooler or gas purifier.
Figures 2 and 3 are horizontal sections on lines 1. 1 and 2. 2 respectively.
The cooler consists of a metallic casing A having the form of a parallelopiped.
This casing is divided by a horizontal partition or plate B in two compartments
communicating with each other only by a vertical pipe or duct C Figure 1. The
lower chamber into which the gas to be purified enters by an opening D is filled up
with vertical partitions E and E¹ which cross each other at right angles and form a
great number of vertical channels or ducts say (from 6 to 500) communicating
with each other alternately at the bottom of the casing above the level of the water
contained therein, and under the horizontal partition B. By this arrangement the.

not reach the bottom of the casing, so that the water is at the same level in all the

. After passing through all the channels or ducts of the lower chamber, the gas
ascends by the metallic tube or duct C into the upper chamber, this chamber being
filled with water to one third of its height. In the upper chamber there is arranged
a number of metallic partitions F F parallel to each other which form a serpentine
like channel, where the gas is finally purified and discharged from the apparatus by
an outlet opening G.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
A cooler or gas purifier consisting of two chambers arranged the one above the
other and communicating with each other only by a pipe or duct C, the lower
chamber being divided into a great number of compartments through which the. gas
is compelled to pass alternately at the top and the bottom of the chamber in which
there is a layer of water, the upper chamber into which the gas ascends by the
pipe C having a serpentine like channel and being filled to some height with water.
