To all wir/mn, it may concern.-

Be it known'that l, ALEXANDER Anmssn- WICH, a subject of ihe Czar of Russia, resid` ing atNo. 5 Fen court, in the city of London,

5 England, have invented certain new and useful Improvem ents in Apparatus for Disiilling Petroleum and other Liquids, (for which l l have applied for a patent in Great Britain,

dated February 9, 1899,'No. 2,957,) of whichro the following is a specification.

This invention relates tc apparatus for rapidly and economically distilling petroleum and other liquids,'as i shall describe, referring to the accompanying drawings.

vzo chamberb, passingthrough flues'c, to the temperature required fordistilling the liquid under treatment. Centrally within the cylinder a revolves la tubular shaft d, part of which, laterally perforated, as'. at d', is ina chamber e, mounted on the front cylinder-head and having an inlet-pipe e' anda stuing-box j", through which the .shaft d passes. The liquid t be distilled is forced under pressure through the inlet-pipe either alone or with A the shaftrd, whence it issues .by lateral nozz'les 'g in jets of finely-subdivided spra'yvdi# rected against the heated wallof the cylinder a. The shaft d also carries helical Scrapers f h,which scrape the wall, directing the carbonaceous matter scraped off Vto the rear end of the cylinder, whence it can from time 'to time be removed. y l

I prefer toprovide al b ox m for receiving the carbonaceous matter, einige-valves @t and 'p being fixed-above and below 1t. For a time,

the valve n being openy and p being closed, the carbonaceous matter falls into the hex m. Then the valve n being closed and p being opened the contents of m are discharged.

The vapors distilled from the liquid thinly distributed over the wall, of the cylinder a are led to a collecting vessel k and pass thence to suitable condensers, which may be cooled by the liquid that is to be distilled, the hea-t ofy the vapors being thus in great measure Autilized for heating the liquid feed.

Having thusdescribed the nature of this invention and the best means I know of carryin g the same into practical eiect, l claim- 1. An apparatus for distilling liquid, consisting of a heater, a cylinder heated by the latter, a chamb'er located 'at one end of the cylinder and into which theliquid is delivered, and a rotary, tubular'shat't having helical scrapers and jet-nozzles and extending through, communicating with and 'receiving the liquid from said chamber, the liquid entering the shaft and issuing from the jet-nozlll.

zles against the inside of the cylinder` sub-4 i stantially as'described.

'2l The combination in a liquid-distilling apparatus, of a furnace, acylinder heated thereby; a rotary, hollow shaft having jet- ,nozzles and .helical blades which scrape the inside of the cylinder, and means for introducing the Vliquid into the tubular shaft from whence it issues from the jet-nozzles against I the inside of the cylinder, substantially asdescribed.

' In testimony whereofwl have hereuntoA set my hand in presence of two subscribing wit nesses. v
