PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Heating or Cooling Apparatus for Use in Dairies and Creameries.
WALTER SANDBACH, Castleconnell, County Limerick, Esquire, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:--
A portable heater or cooler to be placed in the cream vats, being constructed
of tubes, distant from each other some 3 or 4 inches, all the tubes connected in
such a manner that when required for the purpose of cooling and the cold water
is turned on it circulates through various tubing, until finally it leaves the appar-
atus at the far end thus cooling the cream evenly throughout.
For heating purposes the result is obtained by applying hot water in the place
of cold.
Heating or Cooling Apparatus for Use in Dairies and Creameries.
I, WALTER SANDBACH, The Cottage, Castleconnell, co. Limerick, Mechanical
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:-
A portable and adjustable combined cooler and heater as in Figure 1 and 2 to he
placed in cream vats or open tanks, for regulating the temperature of any fluid
that may be dealt with. The apparatus being a multitubular one as shewn in
Figure 1 (placed in an open tank) through which heated or cooled liquid or heated
or cooled vapour may be passed as in Figure 1, their effects in either cases being
transmitted to the article material fluid or substance that may surround the said
apparatus in Figure 1 standing within the tank.
Construction. An apparatus as appears in Figure 1 constructed of any metal
as may be deemed best, and consisting of either vertical, horizontal, or diagonal
tubes or coils, connected at either end to columns as in Figure 1 marked F1 & F2,
being either round square or half round. The said columns providing double in-
ternal circulation by means of recessed chambers as in Figure 1 marked AA1 and
A2, and fitted with independent overflows at each end as in Figure 1 marked B
& B1 air relief cock as in Figure 2 marked H, and inlet regulating valves as in
Figure 2 marked D, D1, D2, & D3. The adjustment as in Figure 3 provided for
by either telescopic tubes fitted with suitable glands as in Figure 3 marked E
or extending legs as in Figure 1 marked R and R1 in order that the apparatus
may be diminished or increased in size,

page_text: 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:
(1) A multitubular apparatus as appears in Figure 1 consisting of either verti-
cal, horizontal, or diagonal metal tubes, or coils, in combination for either cooling,
or heating purposes.
(2) The regulation in the temperature of cream, milk, or other fluids dealt with,
luring the ripening process; same being controlled by four regulating cocks as
in Figure 2 marked D, 11, 12, and D3, in order that the ripening process may be
hastened, or retarded at will, or one desired temperature maintained.
(3) The apparatus, as per specification in construction, being so made, as to
render it adjustable in size to the quantity of liquid to be either cooled, or heated.
