THOMAS JAMES RAYNER 2 Perrys Close East India Road Poplar E., Coppersmith,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Improved surface-apparatus for heating, cooling and condensing.
In Breweries it is very desirable to cool the Wort or Beer, quickly and cheaply after
Brewing, and with the use of as little water as possible. This, by my Improvement
in Refrigerators can be very easily and rapidly done, together with a great saving of
cooling-water, which water is discharged at almost the same temperature as that of the
Wort, beer, or any other liquor vapour or gas, (as the case may be) going in. And
further only the same quantity is required for cooling or heating the same, that is to
say 10 Gallons of cold Water will cool 10 Gallons of hot Water, or any other liquor,
gas, or vapour or vice versa.
My Invention, which is of Tubular Construction, that is, one Tube inside the
other, and so fixed that the passages are formed end to end, and connected at each end,
by gun metal boxes, or pockets, having two distinct passages cored out in them, to
admit of a free passage from one set of tubes to the other, so that any number of
Tubes can be connected with each other, and form a long continuous passage for
liquor, steam, gas, or vapour; there is also a second passage for Water to pass in from
the opposite direction, absorbing the heat as it passes through.
These Gun metal (Brass, Iron, or any other metal) pockets or Boxes, are filled with
clearing holes, and screwed caps, to be removed for cleansing purposes when required.
One of the internal passages is filled with a Stuffing Box, and screwed gland for packing,
which enables the Internal Tube to be removed for renewal, also cleansing purposes.
In some cases I fix two, three, four, five, or any number of Internal Tubes, inside
large Tube or Tubes, with a corresponding number of Stuffing Boxes, in metal
pockets or Boxes; the two passages in pockets, of course, being equal in area to the
Tubes used in any case. By this means, I get two long passages from end to end of
refrigerator, and by so using these passages, the desired work is effected..

page_text: By the same means this apparatus can be used as a Feed-Water-Heater, Fresh-
Water Condenser, and Distiller. The whole Apparatus can be made of any metal
(Copper, brass, iron) or of any other material; also the Tubes may be square, round,
dee, or any other shape; the whole can be placed in a vertical, horizontal, or any other
position, and can be forced or pumped through at any pressure.

THOMAS JAMES RAYNER, 2 Perry's Close East India Dock Road Poplar East
Coppersmith 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 :-
In Breweries it is very desirable to cool the wort, or beer, quickly and cheaply after
brewing, and with the use of as little water as possible, this, with my improvement in
refrigerators or coolers can be very easily and rapidly done and also with a great
saving of cooling water, which water is discharged at almost the same temperature as
that of the wort, beer, or any other liquor, vapour or gas going in; and only the same
quantity is required for cooling or heating the same, that is to say 10 gallons of cold
water will cool 10 gallons of hot water or any liquor, gas or vapour.
My Invention is of tubelar construction, i.e. one tube inside the other, so fixed that
two passages are formed end to end, and connected at each end by gun metal boxes or
pockets (A Fig. 2) these have two distinct passages cored out in them (e Fig. 3) to
admit of a free passage from one set of tubes to the other, so that any number of tubes
can be connected to each other and form a long continuous passage for liquor, steam,
gas, or vapour; also there is a second passage for water to pass in from the opposite
direction (f Fig. 3), absorbing the heat as it passes through.
The gun metal, brass, iron or any other metal pockets or boxes are fitted with
clearing holes and screwed caps, ( Fig. 1 & 2) or doors bolted on to be removed for
cleansing purposes when required. The internal passages (c Fig. 3) is fitted with a
stuffing box and screwed gland d Fig. 3 for packing to enable the internal
tube (Fig. 3) to be removed for renewal, also for cleansing purposes.
In some cases I fix two, three, four, five, or any number of internal tubes inside a
large tube or tubes with a corresponding number of stuffing boxes in metal pockets or

page_text: boxes; the two passages in pockets, are of equal area to the tubes used in any case, by
this means I get two long passages from end to end of refrigerator, by so using these
passages the desired work is effected.
By the same means this apparatus can be used as a Feed Water Heater, Fresh
Water Condenser, and Distiller. The whole apparatus can be made of any metal,
Copper, Brass, Iron, or any other material; also the tubes may be round, square, dee,
or any other shape. The whole can be placed in a horizontal, vertical, or any other
position, and can be forced or pumped through at any pressure.
Having thus described the nature of my invention and in what manner the same is
to be performed, I claim
The construction of an Improved Surface apparatus for heating, cooling, and
condensing by connecting a series of tubes, with cast metal pockets, or boxes, with
two distinct passages in them, which may be bolted together to any number so as to
form two long continuous passages, one inside the other to admit of liquor, vapour,
or gases passing in two opposite directions and thereby cooling or heating one
another.
