cold water spray and are condensed. The bottom of the con- 
denser cylinder, at the end farthest from the pan is connected 
with the suction end of the vacuum pump through which the 
water and the condensed vapors in the condenser escape. Man- 
holes with covers should be provided at the top and end of the 
condenser cylinder to facilitate the cleaning out of the condenser. 
In the vertical spray condenser the condenser cylinder is

is the case, for instance, where a catch-all is installed between

pan and condenser. The interior arrangement of the vertical! 
condenser varies somewhat with the different makes. One type 
of vertical condenser widely used in American condenseries con-

This insulated tube is surrounded by and connects with a spray 
chamber, which terminates at its top in a perforated metal plate, 
and which has an opening in the side near the bottom that con- 
nects with the vacuum pump supplying the suction and that 
permits the escape of the condensed vapors and cooling water. 
The cooling water enters at the top of the condenser. Immediately 
underneath the water inlet it strikes a metal cone or umbrella 
which prevents the water from running into the vapor tube. and
