    N J 1,062 A.D. 1898 Date of Application, 14th May, 1898 Complete Specification Left, 10th Feb., 1899—Accepted, 18th Mar., 1899 PROYISIONAL SPECIFICATION. Improvements in the Heating of Fluids, I, Robert Ludwig Mond, of 20, Avenue Road, Regents Park, in the County of London, Clieniist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows ;_ My invention relates to the heating of fluids by means of suitable molten metal which is first heated by direct contact with flame and products of combus- « tion and then is passed through the fluid which is to be heated. By pumps or otherwise the metal after having parted with, more or less of its heat to the fluid can be returned to be again heated and to operate again on the fluid. when the fluid to be heated and the heating metal might act 10 chemically on each other, they may be separated by conducting metal, as in tubes or other passages exposing large surfaces. Dated this 14th day of May 1898. ABEL & IMRAY, Agents for the Applicant. COMPLETE SPECIFICATION. Improvements in the Heating of Fluids. I, Robert Ludwig Mond, of 20, Avenue Road, Regents Park, in the County of London, Chemist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained 20 in and by the following statement; — In heating liquids for the purpose of generating steam or vapour, for distilling or concentiating, the heat is usually applied to the walls of the vessels contain¬ ing the liquid or to the interior of tubes or conduits immersed in the liquid, and is communicated by conduction through the walls of the vessels or conduits. ’ .My 4b iiiAentiqn lelates to means of imparting heat to liquids in a more direct mannei', by passing through the liquid to be heated molten metal or alloy which has been heated by direct action of flame and hot combustion gases upon the metal or alloy. I select a metal or alloy which has a melting point below the temperature to 30 which the liquid has to be heated; and a boiling point considerably higher than the temperature to which this metal or alloy has to be heated,—such for instance as Rose’s or Wood’s nietid—so that, after passing through the heated liquid, the remains in a liquid condition. The heating of the metal or l^Prlce 8^/.]
