of column C. The rest of the wine is forced. by
pump 3 ID to the dome of columnD. through the
sediment-removing reheaterv [ID and the tubes
96D and 12D.
The column D has no rectifying. unit, and com
prises only a distiller-recti?er of the type of
Figs. 4 and 5. This apparatus is composed of a
tubular cluster comprising the tubes I12 sup
ported at their upper and lower ends by the
plates I52 contained within a cylindrical casing
I50. This casing is extended below the tubular
cluster, forming a reservoir divided into two
parts; the upper part where the tubes have their;
outlet and which evacuates their residual liquid 15
through the tube I54; the other and lower part
constituting a reservoir supplied by the tube I55
with vapor that it injects through the tubes. I56

sponds to each tube of the cluster.

The same casing is extended above the upper
plate I52 in the form of a dome, comprising a,
supply tube I58 which descends su?iciently low
on the plate to form a hydraulic joint with the
liquid that covers the plate. This tube is situated 25
eccentrically relative to the dome, and the annu
lar crown comprised between this tube and this
dome is transformed into a separating coil for
the liquids carried along by the vapor produced
by the helicoidal surface I59.

The central casing is divided by approximately
horizontal diaphragms I63 to I61 into ?ve stages
through which ?ows downward the vapor that
condenses.
The vapor guided by the vertical diaphragms 35
I62 ?ows with a rotary movement through each
stage from its periphery to its center, and in
versely. In the stages in which the ?ow is from
the center to the periphery, the condensations
are collected in a gutter I64 situated at the outer

the bottom of the casing of the distilling-rectify

steam in column C, and the collected condensates
are sent through the tube BIC to the upper part
of the rectifying unit of column B. However, the
most volatile part of this vapor does not con
