Improvements in and relating to Vessels or Apparatus for Cooling or
Heating Liquids or other Substances.
I, THOMAS MORTON, of Wishaw, in the County of Lanark, Scotland, Master
Machinist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of vessels or appara-
tus for cooling or heating liquids or other substances, and consists in having
such vessels or apparatus formed of a tube or tubes bent or shaped and brazed,
soldered or otherwise securely fastened together so that the said tube. or tubes
may of itself or themselves form that part of the vessel or apparatus by which
the cooling or heating is performed. There is provision made for the inlet and
outlet of water, steam or other cooling or heating agent. By my im-
proved method of forming the said vessels or apparatus a perfect circulation of the
water, steam or other cooling or heating agents is ensured and the vessels or
apparatus are thereby more efficient and will stand a much greater pressure than
ordinary jacketted vessels or apparatus.

Improvements in and relating to Vessels or Apparatus for Cooling or
Heating Liquids or other Substances.
I, THOMAS MORTON, Master Mechanic, Belhaven Works, Wishaw, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
-
This invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of cooling,
heating, drying, or evaporating pans, kettles, vessels or apparatus and consists
in having that part of the pan, kettle, vessel, or apparatus formed of a coil or
series of pipes placed so closely together that they shall, in themselves form the
pan, kettle, vessel or apparatus, or part of same. Fig. 1 of the annexed drawing
shows an ordinary boiling or evaporating pan made of a tube of suitable section
which is coiled or bent into the required shape and soldered, brazed, or otherwise
securely fixed each coil to another. The coils are carried up as far as the heating
or cooling surface is wanted and the capacity of the pan is increased by adding
to its depth in the manner shewn on the drawing. Figures 2-3-4 show other
arrangements of my invention.

page_text: Although this drawing shows an application of my invention, it is to be under-
stood that I may make pans, kettles, vessels or other apparatus of any shape or form
whatever and of whatever section of tube I may find best suited for the purpose,
and I do declare that my. invention may be adapted with advantage for all
manner of purposes wherein it is desired to form or have a heating or cooling
surface.
I do bend or arrange the tubes together so that they in themselves do actually
form the pan, kettle, vessel or other apparatus which are to be heating or cooling
surfaces which previous to my invention would have been formed of two or more
distinct parts which would form a space or spaces for the introduction of steam
or other heating agent or for the introduction of water or other cooling agent.
By my invention it is possible to form a much stronger apparatus than hereto-
fore and it is also possible to obtain a better application of the heating or cooling
agent, as by having the heating or cooling agent composed of a tube or tubes,
it is possible to control and regulate the flow of the heating and cooling agents
in a way that was hitherto impossible.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the manner in which the
same is to be performed, I do declare that what I claim is:-
Forming the heating or cooling surface of a vessel or apparatus or part of such
vessel or apparatus of a tube or tubes placed and held together, so that they in
themselves do actually form the whole or part of said vessel or apparatus and at
the same do form the required heating or cooling surface of the said vessel or
apparatus.
