PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Heating and Ventilating Apparatus.
WALTER JOHN MILLINGTON, Engineer, 5, St. Mary's Terrace, College Park,
N.W., do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists of an effective apparatus for purifying air from delec-
terious matter, lowering or raising the temperature thereof to suit requirements,
propelling the purified air into buildings & extracting foul air therefrom. My
apparatus consists of a revolving cylindrical casing built on ribs of metal on
boss covered by a fine wire gauze or other screen. Outside of this cylinder is
also fixed a series of water tubes equidistant, the whole fitted & connected to
the hollow metal boss, attached to a hollow spindle for revolving thereon. The
air is forced through the screen & metallic cylinder by a propeller as it revolves
on the boss of the hollow spindle, charged with water, perfectly washed by the
revolving spray falling from each water tube as it travels over the zenith of the
boss, each tube being fully charged during the operation the whole working on
the hollow spindle fitted to a suitable trough framed and made water and air proof
around cylinder.
Beyond this is another fibrous metallic screen connected directly to chamber
provided for raising or lowering the temperature of the purified air as required.
It is then delivered through ducts or channels into the various apartments as
required, the foul air being drawn away from the various appartments by
exhauster through return pipes or ducts to the open or utilized as blast for steani
boiler.

Improvements in Heating and Ventilating Apparatus.
I, WALTER JOHN MILLINGTON, Engineer, of 5, Saint Mary's Terrace, College
Park, N.W., 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 of an effective apparatus for purifying air from deleterious
matter, lowering or raising the temperature thereof to suit requirements, pro-
pelling the purified air into buildings and extracting the foul air therefrom.
My apparatus consists of a revolving cylindrical casing built on ribs of metal on
boss covered with a fine wire gauze, or other screen; outside of this cylinder is
also fixed a series of water tubes, equi-distant the whole fitted and connected to
Price 77

page_text: the hollow metal boss attached to a hollow spindle for revolving thereon. The
air is forced or drawn through the screen and metallic cylinder by a propellor,
as it revolves on the boss of the hollow spindle charged with hot or cold water,
perfectly washed by the revolving spray falling from each water tube as it travels
over the zenith of the boss, each tube being fully charged during the operation
the whole working on the hollow spindle fitted to a suitable trough framed and
made water and air proof around cylinder.
Beyond this is another fibrous metallic screen connected directly to the heating
or cooling apparatus fixed in chamber provided for raising or lowering the tem-
perature of the purified air as required. From the chamber it is then delivered
through ducts or channels into the various appartments as required, the foul
air being drawn away from the various appartments by exhaustion through
return pipes or ducts to the open or utilized as blast for steam boiler.
The following drawings illustrate the application of my invention with figures
and letters indicating the several parts.
Fig. 1 shews sectional elevation of purifier or cylindrical casing A, with water
trough B, and secondary screen of fibre C, the secondary screen being so arranged
to regulate the amount of moisture required, made to to revolve or fixed stationary
being composed of single lines of fibre or wire strained from top to bottom.
Fig. 2 shews plan of purifier or cylindrical casing with water tubes D
connected to gun metal revolving boss E carried by the fixed spindle F forming
central water tube; on this spindle the cylindrical casing or purifier revolves
the air being drawn or forced through the perforated casing A, washed by the
water spray from the jets of the water tubes D), as they revolve over the zenith,
the water flowing down into the trough B, provided with overflow.
The door G is provided to examine or repair secondary screen in framing.
Fig. 3 shews end elevation, water tubes fitted to the gun metal boss E.
Fig. 4 shews gun metal boss with three tubes directly over the orifice H, when
in action the water passing from central water tube into spray tubes.
Fig. 5 shews gun metal boss E with sunk groves I, I, to carry belt for driving
Fig. 6 shews sealed end of purifier or cylindrical casing.
Fig. 7 shews water tubes.
Fig. S shews open end of cylindrical casing with secondary boss K, K, solid
spokes L L to which is attached curb M, M, for preventing air passing through
without being purified, fitted & revolving on spindle F but without water con-
nection.
Fig. 9 shews secondary boss KK & spokes L L with lubricating pipe N. KK
is the hub or carrier of the wheel forming circular frame at open end.
Fig. 10 shews general plan of cylindrical purifier A. P, P, P, P, are ducts.
R, R, are exhausting & propelling cylinders, with S, S, cylinder covers for R, R.
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:―
A cylindrical purifier or casing fitted to revolving metal frame with hollow boss
& spindle to which is attached the several water tubes to deliver water spray
over metallic gauze or other perforated casing, as they revolve over zenith of
boss with secondary screen, the air being drawn or forced through, working in
conjunction with propeller & exhauster to & from the apartments connected by
ducts.
