HoWb patents, the tubes of the condenser being in an upright or vertical posi- tion, the steam flows from the cylinder into the upper part of the condenser, which is a low flat chamber, in the bottom of which is inserted the upper extremities of the tubes, through which the steam passes downwards, and as it passes is con- densed. It flows thence into a similar chamber below, from whence it is drawn off by the air-pump. It is evident that at sea an unlimited supply of cold water may be obtained ...to keep the condensing cis- tern cold, so that a perfect condensation may always be effected by these tubes, if they be made suf- ficiently small. The water formed by the condensed . steam will be pure distilled water ; and if the boiler be originally filled with water which does not hold in solution any earthy or other matter which might be deposited or incrusted, it may be worked for any length of time without injury. The small quan- tity of waste from leakage is supplied in Mr. Hall's engine by a simple apparatus in which a sufficient quantity of sea water may be distilled.
