ELECTRIC REFRIGERATION NEWS, DECEMBER 7, 1932

Look, Jane, Wasn't It Nice

of the Boss?

What is it, Jim?

The boss made me a present of a year’s
subscription to Electric Refrigeration News.

Oh,—is that the paper you've been telling me
about?

You bet your boots—comes from Detroit
—full of good stuff for salesmen. That sure
was mighty nice of the boss.

Well, it’s good business for him to do it,

Sure—why not? When he gave me that
fountain pen last year it was to suggest that I
sign more orders, wasn’t it? That’s why he
gives all those banquets and prizes, too—to
get you pepped up. But he knows we need

some new ideas and inspiration all the time,
and that’s the reason for this subscription.

But I thought you always read it at the office?

I try to see it every week, but it’s pretty
hard to find. Somebody grabs it the minute it
comes in, and from then on everbody is trying
to pry it loose from somebody. By the time it
gets around to me, it is all worn out.

Well, it sounds like a practical gift. I wonder if

he’s sending it to all the salesmen?

Yeah—he must be. It’s coming to the house
every week. Give you a chance to see it, too.
You'll like it—mighty interesting—covers the
whole electric refrigeration industry.

It was nice of the boss.

1933 Sales Promotion
Plans Discussed

a

behalf of General Electric refrigerators,
Hotpoint ranges, and other home appli-
ances for 1933 was outlined during the
meeting of sales promotion managers
from major G. E. distributors in all
parts of the United States, held here
recently.

The two-day conference held

was

|} under the direction of W. J. Daily, man-
lager of the sales promotion division of

the refrigeration department, and fea-
tured as speakers: Lou Maxon, Detroit,
president of Maxon, Inc.; W. A. Grove,

man of the board of directors of Batten,

| paper, magazine, and newspaper adver-

now, more than ever, make the job of

get will prove adequate to meet the
heavy demands it must answer.
Mahony told the sales promotion man
agers that the canvasser has been the
pioneer of industry in this country. He
said, “the job of the canvasser always
has been and always will be to stimu-

|late the desire to buy something

“This desire is inherent in all of us,

but it is a latent desire,” he said. “It
must be stimulated to action, people

must be given cause to feel that they
need a particular service at a particu-

canvasser.”

Majestic dealer in Des Moines, Iowa, in
which Judge C. A. Dewey of the U. S.
District Court upheld the validity of
Frigidaire’s Blackmore patent 1,658,323
and the Summers’ patent 1,819,979 (see
ELectric REFRIGERATION News, Nov. 5,

brought by Frigidaire and Penn Elec-

and was defended by Grigsby-Grunow
Co., manufacturer of the Majestic re-
frigerator.

The following control makers have
been “licensed to manufacture” temper-
ature controls which come under the
scope of the cold control patents: Auto-
matic Reclosing Circuit Breaker Co.,
Cutler-Hammer, Inc., General Electric
Co., and Penn Electric Switch Co.

Under terms of the agreement with
control manufacturers, these four firms
may sell controls to any of the 48 re-
frigerator manufacturers which are “li-
censed to use” the cold control. Basic
prices, terms of sale, and guarantees
offered on controls are reported to be
fixed.

It is understood that the present list

MERCHANDISING SECTION OF ELECTRIC REFRIGERATION NEWS, DECEMBER 14, 1932

‘IY you were buying an

electric refrigerator, what

make would you prefer? ”

ANSWERS SHOW GENERAL ELECTRIC 1S
PREFERRED BY THREE TIMES THE NUMBER

THAT PREFER ANY OTHER REFRIGERATOR

MPARTIAL surveys of the refrigerator market

recently conducted by several national mag-
azines and leading newspapers again prove the
tremendous public preference for the General
Electric refrigerator. These surveys represent all
parts of the country—were made by wholly
disinterested parties—but in each instance the
result was the same.

Over 40% of all prospective buyers interviewed
in these surveys stated a definite preference for
General Electric—three times the number

expressing a preference for any other make.

For the retailer here is more evidence of plus-
value in the General Electric franchise. The G-E
retailer is identified with a quality product, one
that dominates the market, is consistently
advertised and has an unparalleled performance
record back of it. That’s why G-E refrigerator
retailers have more sales opportunities and meet
less sales-resistance. General Electric Company,
Electric Refrigeration Department, Section
DF121, 1400 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio.

Back To Fundamentals

J. OAKLEY, new president of the Amer-
A. ican Society of Refrigerating Engineers,
believes that the refrigeration industry has pro-
gressed further in the last five years than it has
in any previous ten years of its existence. It was
not until about 1918, he thinks, that the ingenuity
of refrigeration engineers really began to become
evident.

Moreover, President Oakley insists that the
industry is gathering momentum rapidly, that the
next five years will likely witness an even greater
forward bound.

Conscious indeed of the industry’s quick tempo
were the engineers who attended the twenty-
eighth annual meeting of the A.S.R.E. at the Hotel
New Yorker in New York City last week. It seemed
to be a general feeling that refrigeration engineer-
ing was running itself dizzy, that there were possi-
bilities of some members of the fraternity flying
off on a tangent, and that it was high time for
the brotherhood to go back and study funda-
mentals.

They did just that. The sessions were con-
ducted and addressed by veterans, by professors,
end practicing engineers of vast experience. Inno-
vations of the year were studied in the light of
first principles.

First Principles

At the conclusion of the gathering engineers
returned to their various workshops feeling better
able to judge the fruits of their own labors and—
most of them—more firmly convinced than ever
that they are on the right track in their experi-
ments.

It was in the halls and lobbies and hotel rooms
that the discussions of new devices and future
trends took place. Judging from the ideas un-
folded and the ventures now under way, Mr. Oakley
is right. Refrigeration as a science is still in its
infancy.

What this means to the dealer and distributor
of household and commercial electric refrigeration

is obvious. If these merchandisers can continue to
show refrigeration manufacturers that they know
how to move refrigeration products in great
volume no matter how leaden the business skies
may appear, they will be right in line to take on
the distribution of new profit-making products
when such are ready to roll off production lines.

Air Conditioning

Judging from the off-the-record conversations
at the A.S.R.E. meeting, most refrigeration engi-
neers are spending a considerable portion of their |
time working on air conditioning. |

Many of them will agree that air-conditioning
equipment is in about the same relative position
to the modern household electric refrigerator as
television is to the all-wave superheterodyne radio.
The public has anticipated both air conditioning
and television, some engineers feel, before their
engineering maturity.

Not one of these engineers is ready to dispute,
however, the supposition that air conditioning is
the next big field for refrigeration. And all are
thinking about and working toward the end of
speeding the invasion and conquest of that field.

Future of household electric refrigerator de-
sign, many A.S.R.E. men believe, lies in the hands

of purchasers. Most of the leading manufacturers
have in their laboratories fully developed rotary,
reciprocating, open, and sealed compressors, and
even absorption systems. Whichever way the
wind of public preference may veer, they are all
set for it.

Cabinets Neglected

Little thinking on cabinet design, though, was
evidenced. The matters of styling to enhance sales
appeal, of altered construction to secure greater
efficiency, were almost entirely neglected during
the course of the session. Either a good bet is
being missed, or else the engineers and their su-
periors think other problems are more pressing.

In the flurry of the fight against competition
and the battle against sales resistance, merchan-
dising organizations often forget the great con-
tribution that engineers are making to the in-
dustry.

When thinking and planning for the future, it
may be a grave mistake if one fails to allow for
new engineering developments. For some years
now the industry has been working against a bogie
of “saturation” (every wired home equipped with
electric refrigeration). Something new may come
along to obsolete partially or entirely all old equip-
ment, and to set up an entirely different bogie or
set of bogies.

Even to creative and inventive engineers of the
first magnitude, possibilities of the growth and
spread of the refrigeration industry almost stagger
the imagination. Those fortunate enough to have
gained a good foothold in the industry, either as
makers or sellers, will likely do well to get them-
Selves solidly intrenched. Future of the business
appears promising indeed.

| Gleanings from Other Periodicals

SIMPLE ARITHMETIC

ASED on sales reported for nine months, the total

volume of business in electric ranges will probably reach
60,000 units for the year 1932. The return to the manufac-
turers will be an average of approxixmately $80 a range.
A total of $4,800,000.

This return will not cover the cost of manufacturing,
selling, and overhead. It provides nothing for the advertis-
ing and promotion program necessary to reach the industry
goal of a million more ranges on the lines in three years.

The money for extending the market will have to come
from the range manufacturers. They can only put up this
money if they have margins to provide it. Present prices
do not yield such margins. Manufacturers this year have
tried to sell ranges in the higher price brackets. Their
effort has been unsuccessful due largely to the power com-
panies’ insistence on pushing ranges at $100 or less.

The utilities still dictate the prices for ranges.

Manufacturers, distributors, and dealers look forward to
the development of a broad range market. They are all
anxious to sell ranges. The result will be a continuing
benefit to the domestic power load. The utilities will receive
this added load just as soon as they will assume their re-
sponsibility to lead sales upward in price and value. Dealers
can take their place as important factors in range selling
only when the utilities accept the same schedule of list
prices and discounts set by the manufacturers to cover the
cost of promotion and distribution as well as the cost of
manufacture.

There is no question here of price agreements. All that

is called for is that the utilities use their dominant position
in range merchandising to foster living price levels in their |
communities. The price at which the power company
advertises and sells a range tends to set that price as the
standard in that area. A dealer who must ranges at
$150 finds it tough going when the central station features |

sell

a range at $99.

Whether or not next year sees the hoped for range cam-
power companies, it de-

exposure to

But it is also claimed that the production of ozone or |
of ionized air affects health. The claims for ozone are sound |
|} except that human beings cannot live in ozone concentra-
tions sufficient to have a bacteriological influence. It takes
about 13 parts of ozone to a million parts of air as a
minimum to influence bacteria and human beings are in-|
juriously affected by one or more parts of ozone in a
million parts of air

It is interesting, however, to consider the researches
going on as to the effect of ionization in air on health.
Present data show that positive ions produce feelings of
dizziness, fatigue, headaches, nausea, and roaring in the}
ears. Negative ions, however, product exhilaration, reduce |

blood pressure, and appear to have a very salutary effect |
on respiration and heart action. Data are meager, however,
and equipment to negatively ionize air is embryonic in a
commercial sense. From the standpoint of health therefore
present air-conditioning equipment can aid only because it
makes clean air and controls interior temperature and
humidity relative to conditions found in the exterior air.

Universal Cooler
Issues Manual

DETROIT—Universal Cooler Corp.
here has just issued a new 56-page sales
manual for use by its distributors, deal-

ers, and salesmen of both household
and commercial refrigeration equip-
ment.

This manual differs from the conven-
tional sales instruction book in that it
concerns itself almost entirely with
teaching Universal men what they are
selling, rather than how to sell it.

Only on one page, that labelled “sug-
gestions for the distributor,” is the sub-
ject of actual selling mentioned. Here
it is suggested that distributors handle
companion merchandise to bolster in-
come from refrigeration sales during
off-season periods.

This page of concentrated sales in-
struction also recommends that dis-
tributors “use users’ in getting pros-
pects, that they handle commercial
equipment, that they establish a good
service department.

Remainder of the book is given over
to detailed discussions of refrigeration
theory, methyl] chloride as a refrigerant,
various parts:used in construction of
Universal units, and finally, the various
lines of equipment produced.

Complete specifications are given for
each Universal unit, and in many in-
stances, the units are illustrated. Nu-
merous charts and drawings are used
throughout the book, in addition to the
illustrations.

What a Family Keeps
In the Refrigerator

General Electric Co.

Hanna Building, Cleveland
Dec. 5, 1932.
Editor:

Sometime ago you asked me if we had
any information as to the amount of
food the average family would keep in
their refrigerator. I am sorry that we
have delayed this, but I am giving you
what information I have which is taken
from several refrigerator owners that
use a 6-cu. ft. refrigerator.

The three families noted all had:
from two to three quarts of milk and
two water bottles
filled; from one half to one dozen eggs;
one quart stewed fruit, either prunes
or peaches; from one half to one pound
cheese; one to two pounds butter; one
vegetable pan filled with cucumbers,
lettuce, etc.; catsup, Crisco, Mayonnaise,
sauce, French dressing, sandwich
spread, horseradish, gingerale, grape
fruit, and several small dabs of left-
over fruits and vegetables; from two to
three pounds of meat.

These were taken with families of five
where there were children.

The survey was taken Monday follow-
ing Saturday’s shopping.

I believe this is quite typical of most
any family you would call on today.

Luamo the recent Kelvinator Derby, many
Kelvinator dealers and salesmen made sales history. New, all-time

records were established. New names and faces took the spotlight.

And basked in the glory of a good job well done. « * One of the

outstanding performances of the entire Derby was the spectacular feat of Mrs. Sidrow,
wife of Mr. N. Sidrow, Kelvinator dealer in Grafton, West Virginia. * * Helping her
husband during her spare time, Mrs. Sidrow, im a town of only 8,000 people, sold 12
Kelvinators—a sales record which reflects credit to the sales ability of Mrs. Sidrow—
ind to the salability of Kelvinator. * * It is a pleasure to send you our heartiest con-
cratulations, Mrs. Sidrow. The whole organization is proud of your achievement be-
cause it shows unmistakably the sales and profit possibilities of the Kelvinator line.

LITTLE STORIES OF INTERESTING

IDEAS

IN THE REFRIGERATION INDUSTRY

Le Roi Est Mort;
Vive le Roi!

GLEN MUFFLY now has one less
title. Pleased will be proof readers and
linotype operators, for the disappend-
agement of this one title makes it pos-
sible for Mr. Muffly and his Kinggeorge-

like nomenclature to be listed in a
single decent-sized paragraph.
It can be said without fear of con-

tradiction, however (as those four-year
locusts, the political campaign speakers,
would put it), that practically nobody
else is glad Mr. Muffiy’s term as presi-
dent of the American Society of Refrig-
erating Engineers has expired. Not
even A. W. OAKLEY, his successor.

Few engineers in the entire refriger-
ating industry are so highly respected
as Glen Muffly. Few presidents of any
technical society have held their posts
with such credit and authority and
unity of feeling. Schisms have been
conspicuously absent; accord and har-
mony have been in the ascendant.

He now joins GEORGE BRIGHT,
A. H. BAER, WILLIS H. CARRIER,
and other distinguished engineering au-
thorities in the A.S.R.E. Ex-Presidents’
Club.

Mr. Muffly was the first repre-
sentative of the “small machine
division” (unofficial) of refrigera-
tion engineers to attain the position
he has just vacated. He used to be
Copeland’s chief engineer, and is
still consulting engineer for that
company.

Most of his time is now occupied
with his labors in behalf of the re-
frigeration division of Nema.

Jack Schaefer and the Valve were
with Mr. Muffly on his last night as
A.S.R.E. president. Lounging com-
fortably on a hotel bed, puffing
gently on one of his inevitable mid-
get cigars, he grew reminiscent.
interesting

we'd like

Out of the mass of
things he said that night,
to cull this aphorism:

“Two things count in a patent
suit: how much the patentee knows
about patents (and especially about
his patent and its relation to others
in the same category), and how
much money there is backing him.”

The new president, A. W. OAKLEY,
is vice president of the Merchants Re-
frigerator Corp. of New York City,
which is a strong commercial refrigera-
tion concern.
in central station refrigeration (piping
refrigeration to customers in a business
district, just as one would pipe heat).

Mr. Oakley is an expert on cold stor-
age. He’s an expert on a lot of other
things, and a close student of such new
developments as air conditioning.

The refrigeration industry, he says,
has made more rapid strides forward
during the last five years than in any
previous decade of its history. Its real
growth began in 1918, he believes. To-
day it is almost outrunning itself. We
haven't begun even to see all the possi-
bilities of the art and science of cooling.

At the A.S.R.E. convention in New
York City last week (see Engineering
Section of this issue for complete re-
port of the proceedings and papers
read) we shook hands and traded jubil-
ant backslaps with a number of old
friends.

T. W. CARRAWAY of Grinnell Co.,
Providence, R. I., for instance. We
hadn’t seen him in months. As tall and

engaging as ever, the human skyscraper

gentlemen are as asset to any party

and to any convention. (Further par

providing we like you well enough.)

GEORGE BRIGHT, who is one of
our favorite individuals, made his ump
teenth talk this year on comfort cooling
with ice, which talk was accompanied
by his customary formidable phalanx
of slide-projector charts and graphs

George, who comes as near running
the A.S.R.E. as anybody, is the only
man we know who seems to have the
complete confidence of both the ice in-
terests and the “small machine” group
The whole industry likes and respects
him

PROF. H. J. MACINTIRE of the
University of Lllinois mechanical engi
neering department read a paper which
perhaps caused as much lobby and hall
discussion as any other subject—with
the conspicuous exception of Bill
Grunow’s new refrigerator

It hasn't been a great number of
years since the Valve was enrolled at
the educational institution for which
Prof. Macintire conducts classes; yet
we had never met him until the above-
mentioned Mr. Willoughby ‘of Atlanta,
introduced us. (Outside of the football
coaching staff and the disciplinarians in
the dean's office, our faculty contacts
weren't exactly numerous)

Asked Prof. Macintire

‘What part of the South do you
come from?”

Our answel!

“Southern Illinois, suh.”

Which reminds us that J. H. H. Voss
(Voss valves) has been all over Europe

and has tasted practically

L. A. PHILIPP of Kelvinator, as
usual, put us in a hole. After collecting
the material for the long story on the
new Grunow refrigerator which you
read in the Dec. 7 issue of the News,
we thought we knew something about
it. But almost every question Mr.
Philipp asked us was one we couldn't
answer.

There’s scarcely a type of unit or de-
vice now known to refrigeration science
that Mr. Philipp hasn't experimented
with at one time or another. He can
tell you a lot about the “outs”—and the
good points—-to any system or part

Most picturesque of the conven
tioneers was bearded CARL ZORZI of
Milan, Italy, who has brought a sealed
unit over to exhibit to interested Amer
icans

he had come across the pond to become
director of an American symphony o1
chestra, or to lecture on the fifth (as
suming that one such will be found
some day) dimension
Crosby Field

CROSBY FIELD, president of Flak
ice Corp.in New York City, was anothe1
prominent attendant at the sessions
Mr. Field was interviewed not long ago
on his opinions concerning American
business, and the interview was pub
lished in the November Limerica)
Magazine

Mr. Field contends in this interview
that America is getting a new slant on
business, a new respect for small busi
ness institutions. America is losing its
craze over size. It is beginning to recog
nize that the little fellow may be a
pioneer, not a dud

“We almost lost the use of all figures
between zero and a million,” he says
“We didn’t care how ugly a building
was so long as it was big. If an engi
neering genius had produced an auto
motor the size of a tomato can with
the power of a hundred horses, he
couldn't have sold it unless he con
cealed its smallness under a big hood.’

Twice in his life (he is now a middle
aged man), Mr. Field has left important
positions in large corporations to start

afresh in small companies

A small business offers opportunity of
use of initiative and leadership, he says
It enlarges a man’s interests, sharpens

his judgment, compels attention to every

“And I believe, too,” Mr. Field adds,
“that in most lines of trade the
small business offers a better opportun-
ity for efficiency in management and
service.”

3y way of further defending, and en-
couraging development of small busi-
nesses, Mr. Field says this:

“The smaller plant can, in a time of
trouble, ‘turn ‘round on a dime’ and
adapt itself to changed conditions. The
big one often has to be laboriously
warped around like a huge ocean liner
changing docks.

“Moreover, prosperity always returns
from the development of new ideas, new
products, new enterprises. These very
often start in small plants. And there
never was such an opportunity for that
as now.
“Countless new industries lie sleeping
in the womb of the immediate future,
waiting for the bright young men—not
geniuses, not brilliant engineers,
not epochal leaders, but just bright
young men with seeing eyes—who will
find the unoccupied corners of indus-
try—the free lands—and stake out their
claims.”

A New Deal

Ludwig Hommel & Co., Pittsburgh.

Electric card tables are being manu-
factured by the Hammond Clock Co. of
Chicago. Standard model 4-H (for alter-
nating current) lists at $25. DeLuxe
model 5-H lists for $40. These are prices

thinks, national prices

CUTTHROAT COMPETITIO

How Can YOU Overcome It in 1933?

- ©@ The refrigeration industry is showing two trends that definitely fore-
cast its merchandising activity for next year. Dealers will have a
choice of selling either

1—The Cheapest refrigerator—not worth any price.
2—A Demonstrably Superior refrigerator—thoroughly worth a
fair price.

@ The industry has already shown that cut breeds cut and that there is
no bottom. No one make can long remain ‘‘cheapest.”’ The dealer
who goes in for the price job can never be sure from week to week
that he continues to have the cheapest.

But the dealer who chooses a refrigerator with which he can demon-
strate economical operation and dependable refrigeration will sell
boxes in 1933 long after the cheap jack is through.

« Name plates alone will not do.

You must be sure that the maker you select and tie up to has the
highest quality in the two essentials of a superior refrigerator—the
complete machine unit and the insulation. The “cheap” job will
always be deficient in either or both. And you can easily and con-
vincingly demonstrate superiority over the cheap job right on the
show room floor.

* No matter what beliefs you may cherish about any refrigerator, it
can never be permanently efficient without insulation that is both
permanent and efficient.

e That is why so many manufacturers of good refrigerators are willing
to pay more for Dry-Zero insulation. And that is why more good
refrigerators will be insulated with Dry-Zero in 1933 than ever be-
fore. Any refrigerator will be more salable, more durable, more
economical to operate with Dry-Zero as the insulation. Yet the
additional material cost for Dry-Zero in a cabinet as compared to
the cheapest temporary substitutes is but 3 to 6 cents per inside cubic
foot of food capacity!

* If you will see the fallacy in “cheapness” and decide to demon-
strate and sell quality in 1933, cutthroat competition will worry only
the other fellow.

FRIGIDAIRE CORP.
DESIGNS RAILWAY
AIR CONDITIONER

New Division Organized
To Handle Railroad

Installations

DAYTON, Dec. 14.—Entrance of
Frigidaire Corp. into the railway equip-
ment field was announced today with
introduction of complete air-condition-
ing equipment for sleeping cars, club
and observation cars, diners, and day
coaches.

The new air-conditioning equipment,
according to E. G. Biechler, president
and general manager, is a joint develop-
ment of General Motors’ research lab-
oratories in Detroit and Frigidaire’s
engineering division in Dayton.

The railway air conditioners, Mr.
Biechler said, represent 16 years of ex-
perience in combatting high tempera-
ture and humidity problems with me-
chanical refrigeration. Test cars were
operated in all sections of the country
during the last summer season, he said,
so that engineering data could be as-
sembled.

A separate factory division has been
established in Dayton for the new sales
and engineering activity. This unit is
known as the “railway air-conditioning
division.” R. E. Robillard, air-condition-
ing application engineer, heads it up as
railway contact representative. The re-
search and engineering activity is in
charge of C. F. Heeney, a member of
the staff of E. B. Newill, vice president
in charge of engineering.

“We have worked closely with trans-
portation executives who believe im-
proved and more comfortable travel
conditions will bring back to railroads
much of the passenger traffic lost to
other means of travel,” Mr. Biechler
said.

“Advantages of air-conditioned passen-
ger cars are the elimination of outside
noises, dust and cinders and mainten-
ance of comfortable and healthful at-
mospheric conditions so that travel is a
pleasant relaxation making possible
restful days and nights even in the
hottest seasons. Passengers and their
clothes can be just as neat and clean
at the end of a 1,000-mile journey as at
the start.”

Frigidaire’s new equipment is design-
ed to meet the requirements of trans-
portation companies for compact, light-
weight units that may be immediately
installed on present rolling stock, with-
ut alteration of car structures.

Flexibility of the equipment makes it
possible to use standard units for all
types of cars from coaches with large
carrying capacity to compartment sleep-

FOOD MERCHANT BUYS
CARRIER DIFFUSERS

PATERSON, N. J.—Carrier Engineer-
ing Corp. has just completed the in-
stallation of a new refrigerating system
using Carrier cold diffusers, in the new
plant of Augenblick & Bros., Inc., pro-
duce merchants of this city.

Formal opening of the new plant is
scheduled for Dec. 14, with leading pro-
vision men from all parts of the coun-
try invited to attend.

The work to be done by the refrig-
erating system is conventional inasmuch
as it involves the refrigeration of butter,
cheese, eggs, and poultry. However, the
design and operating of the plant are
unusual since each of the five storage
rooms is maintained at optimum air

Detroit Section to Hear
Johnston, Schubring,

Blood, Oderman

DETROIT—Next year’s outlook for
four classes of refrigeration—household,
commercial, ice, and solid CO»—will be
discussed by speakers closely associated
with those fields, next Monday night,
Dec. 19, in the season's first session of
the Detroit Section of the American So-
ciety of Refrigerating Engineers. Engi-
neers and executives are invited to
attend.

Howard Blood, president of Norge
Corp., will speak on the outlook for
household refrigeration; G. M. Johnston,
president of Universal Cooler Corp.,
will talk from the standpoint of com-
mercial refrigeration; Harry Oderman
will speak on plans and expectations for
ice refrigeration; while Arthur C. Schu-
bring of the Michigan Alkali Co. will
tell what progress the solid COs indus-
try anticipates in 1933.

The meeting will be held in the Book-
Cadillac hotel, according to Edward
Barger, president of the section, who
will preside. Dinner will start at 6
o’clock, while the talks will start at 8
o’clock in upper parlors of the same
hotel.

POWER SHOW HAS AIR
CONDITIONING EXHIBIT

NEW YORK CITY—Air conditioning
—the part it plays in advancement of
industrial efficiency, and the equipment
necessary for complete air treatment—
received prominent display at the tenth
National Exposition of Power and Me-
chanical Engineering held in Grand
Central Palace here last week.

Exposition visitors saw displays of
air-conditioning equipment made by sev-
eral large manufacturers, and heard its
function explained.

One exhibit which attracted much at-
tention was that of the Cochrane per-
petual motion machine, which uses
pressure of evaporating water vapor as
its source of power.

The motor is really a small vapor tur-
bine power plant which operates on
energy derived from differences in dry
bulb and wet bulb temperatures.

The apparatus is a long coiled glass
tube with a bulblike steam drum or
boiler in which the vapor is generated
by heat from the surrounding atmos-

rements of breweries were outlined
Fred Ophuls, consulting engineer of
New York, before the fourth session of

rations, stating that variations from
basic system are sometimes made to
feet production economies or reduce
estment in equipment.
‘he basic brewing methods, with the
eption of preparation of malt from
berley, are:
Cleaning and grinding malt to a

. Mixing the grist with hot water at
a temperature of about 155° F., and
so .king and stirring the resultant mash.
When rice or other cereals are used,
h-y are first cooked, then mixed with

Philipp Explains Action
Of Refrigerant
Ebullition

NEW YORK CITY—Action of refrig-
erant ebullition in household and com-
mercial evaporators was described by
L. A. Philipp, head of research at Kel-
vinator Corp., at the Friday morning
session of the A.S.R.E. convention here
last week. The paper was prepared
jointly by Mr. Philipp and B. E. Tiffany,
also of the Kelvinator research depart-
ment.

Research and application of wood
ebullators to evaporators comprised the
most interesting portion of Mr. Philipp’s
talk. In the development of Kelvinator
cross fin evaporator coils, he explained,
it was found that some of the loops of
the coil would not frost up, while other
loops frosted intermittently.

To observe the process of ebullition,
a series of carefully cleaned glass
Erlenmeyer flasks were used. Liquid
sulphur dioxide in the flasks was
covered with a %4-in. layer of lubricat-
ing oil. Liquid in fully half of the flasks
superheated 50° F. without visible
ebullition taking place, he reported.

Then a search was made with a
variety of materials to see what sub-
stance in contact with a refrigerant pro-
duced a catalytic activity in promoting
the formation of vapor and decreasing
the degree of liquid superheat. Among

EVERETTS OUTLINES USE
OF WATER AS REFRIGERANT

NEW YORK CITY-—Developments in |

the use of water as a refrigerant, and
its features when compared with other
systems of refrigeration, were outlined
by John Everetts, Jr., engineering asso-
ciate of Walter L. Fleisher, consulting
engineer, in the Wednesday morning
session of the A.S.R.E. convention.

Mr. Everetts first pointed out that
evaporation of water was a form of re-
frigeration used by the ancients. Porous
clay jugs were filled with water which
seeped through to the outer surface
where evaporation into dry air cooled
the jug. Temperature of the water in
the jug approached the lower wet-bulb
temperature of the air, he explained.

A more common use of water as a
refrigerant is by dairy farmers who use
cold spring water to preserve their
milk before delivery to the creamery,
he showed.

Two systems of note which employ
water as a refrigerant in ice making
are the Patten plan of vacuum refrig-
eration, and the Westinghouse-LeBlanc
system, both of which Mr. Everetts de-
scribed briefly.

He reported two installations of the
Patten system for ice making, one in
Baltimore, the other in Los Angeles,
both built in 1904.

“The Patten system employed concen-

a slow but certain road to recovery, said
Virgil Jordan, chief statistician for Mc-
Graw-Hill Publishing Co. in an address
at A.S.R.E.’s Welcome luncheon here,
Dec. 7.

Although there is dire need for more
thorough knowledge of “depression
facts” on the part of all Americans to
speed recovery, the nation’s business
will eventually expand in size and pros-
perity to proportions as great or greater
than those of 1929, Mr. Jordan declared.

“There is no limiting or inhibiting
forces in this country,” he said. Since
July, the statistician pointed out, there
has been no further decline in business
except for usual seasonal variations.

Forces contracting business simply
ceased to operate at that time. Com-
modity prices halted in their slide and
took a sharp rise until the middle of
September. Since that time, they have
again dropped to their July level, but
on reaching that point, have shown a
resistance to further decline.

STICKNEY TRACES CYCLES
IN MAKING SOLID 0-2

NEW YORK CITY-—Development of
solid COs manufacturing cycles was
traced by A. B. Stickney of Fred
Ophuls & Associates, consulting engi-
neers, before the A.S.R.E. convention.

Mr. Stickney started with the “Simple
Cycle” which included a_ three-stage
compression system for the COs gas,
condensation, and finally expansion of
the liquid through a nozzle to atmos-
pheric pressure to produce the solid
COs snow. Intercooling of the gas was
employed between each stage of com-
pression. Excess gas was returned from
the expansion chamber to the first stage
of compression.

First refinement was precooling the
liquid by absorbing its heat in the cold
gas returning from the snow machine
to the low-pressure compressor. This
cycle is known the “Precooling
Cycle,” and produced a marked saving
in power.

Next step was the method of flashing
the liquid twice between the condenser
and the snow chamber, and introducing
the cold gas to suction lines of the
second and high stages of compression,
Mr. Stickney explained. This, the
“Bleeder Cycle,” reduced the weight of
gas handled through the lower stages,

as

peak, Mr. Jordan said. At the present, | with resulting power economies.

Brewery Refrigeration Requirements

Are Explained by Ophuls

(Concluded from Page 1, Column 1)
and reduced in temperature to 43 to
45° F. by water and refrigeration.

8. The cooled wort then flows into the
fermenting tubs where yeast is added
and the fermentation process started.
Fermentation continues for from five to
seven days.

9. Next it flows into the stock cellars
where secondary fermentation takes
place under pressure so that sufficient
quantity of carbon dioxide is retained
in the finished product. Beer is stored
in stock cellars for 14% months or more,
and is drawn off as required into kegs
or bottles for shipping purposes.

Not Needed for Bottled Beer

Mr. Ophuls also pointed out that if
beer is pasteurized and bottled, refrig-
eration will not be needed in further
shipment and storage.

He next explained that refrigeration
is usually required in the brewery for
the following purposes:

1. Preserving hops in storage.

2. Cooling the wort from the lowest
temperature possible with available city
or well water, to 43 to 45° F.

3. Absorbing the heat of fermentation.

4. Cooling the beer from the ferment-
ing tubs at about 45° F. to about 34° F.
for storage in cellars.

5. To offset heat leakage into hop
storage, fermenting cellars, stock cellars,
keg storage, ete.

6. When beer is bottled, the receptacle
on the bottle-filling machine must be
refrigerated.

7. To offset the heat of working men,
lights, water, opening doors, etc.

Wort Cooling Calculations

“Determinations of refrigeration re-
quirements to offset heat leakages are
well known to refrigerating engineers,”
he said, “but calculations of capacity
for wort cooling and fermentation in-
volve entirely different data than the
industry has recently employed. Among
these are specific heat and _ specific
gravity of the wort, which depends
upon its strength. For this information
on wort he referred his listeners to
Siebel’s Compend, published in 1906.”

Concluding his talk, Mr. Ophuls traced
a typical example of estimating refrig-
eration requirements of wort cooling
and fermentation.

Question Asked Speaker

Following his talk, Gale Pearce of
Dry-Zero Corp. asked if refrigeration
is required for the transportation of
beer. Mr. Ophuls answered that the
maintenance of 34° F. is not necessary
if the beer is pasteurized and bottled.

F. R. Nolde, secretary of the Refrig-
erating Machinery Association, Phila-

delphia, estimated that the potential de-|

mand for brewery refrigeration equip-
ment is 70,000 tons of capacity daily.

CYCLES FOR MAKING
SOLID (0-2 TRACED

(Concluded from pad 1, Column 5)
was the fact that the low intermediate
pressure is only slightly above the
triple point, making expansion into the
snow chamber difficult due to clogging
of nozzles, Mr. Stickney said.

This was remedied by the develop-
ment of the “Bleeder-Precooling Cycle”
which combines the bleeder and pre-
cooling cycles by passing the high-
pressure liquid through head ex-
changers cooled by liquid evaporating
at the intermediate pressures, he con-
tinued.

To remove the latent heat of fusion
at a higher temperature, the low inter-
mediate pressure can be set at or just
below the triple point, and snow manu-
factured at this pressure. Mr. Stickney
called this the ‘Pressure-Snowmaking
Cycle.” It is typified by the Carba
process, used by Michigan Alkali Co.
and others.

The last refinement described was

|the substitution of ammonia in the

high pressure COs stage, and operation
on a binary cycle in which the CO» con-
denser is the ammonia evaporator. This
produces a saving in power because
ammonia is a more efficient refrigerant
at that particular pressure, Mr. Stick-
ney explained.

Schematic diagrams were shown of
all cycles, and thermodynamic charts
given which showed _ successive in-
|creases in snow yield, or reductions in
| power consumption.

Philipp Reads Paper
On Ebullition

(Concluded from Page 1, Column 2)

these were copper wire, iron wire, fused
porcelain, sand, silica gel, leather, oxi-
dized copper, lead shot, cork wood, fiber,
bamboo, rattan, etc.

Fibrous wood was found to be very
effective as an ebullator, limiting the
degree of superheat to 3° F. and some-
times less.

Next question to be bettled was the
possibility that the effectiveness of
fibrous ebullators might be due to ad-
sorbed air, Mr. Philipp explained.

Rattan samples were baked at 250° F
for 24 hours in glass flasks with a high
vacuum, then without exposing the
rattan to air, liquid sulphur dioxide and
dehydrated oil were run into the flasks.
The ebullition activity of the rattan ma-
terial was as effective as before, he said.
Subsequent tests showed definitely that
the catalytic action of rattan could not
be attributed to the presence of air.

Samples of rattan sealed in glass
tubes with liquid sulphur dioxide and
oil for over two years are as effective
today in promoting ebullition as when
originally sealed, he reported.

Materials Effecting Ebullition

Mr. Philipp next discussed some cf
the conditions and materials which af-
fect ebullition, reviewed technical liter-
ature on superheating, and gave his

heating of liquids.

Before applying the ebullators to com-
mercial cooling units, it was necessary
to investigate extraction of moisture
from the rattan and the possible oxida-
tion-reduction which might occur be-
tween wood and liquid sulphur dioxide.

Tells Results of Test

| It was found that after dehydrating
rattan at 275° F. with less than % mm.
| Hg. of absolute pressure, it was impos-
|sible to detect an increase in moisture
|}content of anhydrous sulphur dioxide
| (0.005 per cent water) which was held
|in contact with the dried rattan fibers
|for two days. This indicated that de-
| hydration of the material was simpiy
|}a matter of a time-temperature baking
| operation under a very low pressure, he
| pointed out.

| In a second test, samples of dried
|rattan were sealed in glass tubes with
|}anhydrous sulphur dioxide and lubricat-
|ing oil, and maintained at a tempera-
i of from 180° to 200° F. for several
days, with no visible reaction. Analysis
| of the refrigerant showed no change in
moisture content, whereas the rattan
|had its original color although it was
| slightly weakened in structural strength.
Mr. Philipp concluded that the chemi- |
cal reaction between the materials was
| negligible.

Applied to Cross-Fin Coils

First application of the wood ebulla-
|tors was to Kelvinator cross-fin coils.
Walnut and maple were chosen because
of their strength and fibrous structure
which prevents splinters or chipping.
Performance was greatly improved,
superheating of the liquid was negligi-
| ble, full capacity was realized, and
|ebullition of the liquid was much more
|}uniform so that suction pressure con-
trol could be used with ease, Mr. Philipp
reported.

Next, ebullators were applied to the
flooded system employing the header and
tube type of evaporator. For
small rattan rods 6 in. long, and 4% in.
in diameter were inserted into one end
of each “U” tube terminating in the
header, he explained. In this system,
most of the ebullition takes place at
the contact of the ebullator and the re-
frigerant, according to Mr. Philipp,
causing the liquid to circulate almost
j}entirely in one direction.

QUEER REPORTS RESULTS
OF STUDIES IN RADIATION

NEW YORK CITY Results of re-
search at the Pennsylvania State College
on “Surface Absorption of Heat from
Solar Radiation” were given by E. R.

Queer, instructor in engineering re-
search. The paper was prepared jointly
by Mr. Queer and F. G. Hechler, pro-

fessor of engineering research at the
same institution.
A structure exposed to the sun’s rays

than the surrounding air, Mr. Queer
pointed out. The heat flowing into such
a structure is dependent on the heat
transfer coefficient through the struc-
|ture and the temperature difference be-
[tween inner and outer surfaces.

Affecting the outer surface tempera-
ture is the factor of color, which Mr.
Queer has studied in detail. His tests
indicate that white is the best color for
the prevention of absorption of the sun’s
heat, with red and green following.

RESEARCH DISCUSS:
BY AS.R.E. SPEAKE®S

NEW YORK CITY-—Ralph E. F!: 1q-
ers, E. M. Barber, and Henry Harr: on
spoke before the meeting on resea ch
which comprised the third session of
the A.S.R.E. convention here last Thi rs-
day.

A professional author and engin er,
Mr. Flanders spoke on “The Destiny of
Engineering.” Mr. Barber, gradu te
student at Pennsylvania State Coll: +e,
gave a paper on “The Handling of
Bearing Performance Data by Corr: \a-
tion with the Hydrodynamic Theory of
Lubrication” which was later judged to
be the prize student paper for the yar
for which he was awarded $150 by the
society.

Mr. Harrison, sales manager of the
Brunswick-Kroeschell division, Carre;
Corp., used for his title, “Cold Diffusion
in Commercial Applications.”

Discusses Engineering

Mr. Flanders regarded engineering as
a combination of science and invention
Invention, he pointed out, is the develop-
ment of practical methods for the solu-
tion of problems of mechanics as we!
as of business organization.

He showed that the engineering ap-
proach to a problem means bringing
the best native ability to work toward
a definite objective, employing all exist-
ing data on the problem to aid in the
| solution.

In the class with “pure engineering”
he placed Carnot's contributions to
thermodynamics, and recent work in ex-
tension of the steam tables.

Interest in Economics

He also mentioned the keen interest
which the engineering profession is dis-
playing in questions of economics, re-
porting that some people have won-
| dered if engineers’ interest in economics
will overshadow their attention to tech-
nical progress. Mr. Flanders believes
that engineering and economics are now
so closely interwoven that the engineer
can, and is, rendering valuable assist-
ance in the solution of economic prob-
lems.

In conclusion he expressed great faith
in the “new era.” He expects the Amer-
ican scale of living to reach and sur-
pass that of 1929 in both consumption
and enjoyment.

Barber Correlates Data

Mr. Barber’s paper correlated data
which had been developed at the Engi-
neering Experiment Station at his uni-
versity, with some new data which he
collected on lubrication and bearings

Theoretical equations do not check
properly with experimental data, he dé
|clared, because they are based on as-
| sumptions that a journal is infinitely
| long and that the viscosity of oil is a
constant. Since the first of these as-
sumptions is never true, and the secon r
|seldom true, theoretical equations mus
ibe supplemented by experimental data
to be of value to a designing enginee!

Carrier Cold Diffuser

Mr. Harrison discussed the Carrie!
Cold Diffuser, or unit cooler, as a de-
velopment which is typical of new tech-
nical progress.

“Engineers of this century have set
new records in obsolescing former
| velopments,” he averred, showing slic:
|of hand expansion valves, coils, and
condensing units which have been vast-
ly improved in the past few years

As typifying modern design, he ci‘ ed

FRIGIDAIRE DEVELOPS
RAILWAY CAR COOLER

(Concluded from Page 1, Column 1)
ers which carry only a dozen or so
persons, it was said. The air condition-
ers can be operated by the porter or
steward, the announcement stated.

Installations will be made in the regu-
lar shops of railroads so that regular
railroad equipment maintenance em-
ployes will benefit by such employment.

No ducts are necessary except in the
case of all-ccompartment cars, accord-
ing to Mr. Newill, under whose direc-
tion the development work was carried
on. This system localizes the cooling
effect in each section so that odors and
smoke from one section are not drawn
through the entire car.

Four-Cylinder Compressor

However, the cooling coils are design-
ed in such a way that they are applica-
ble to either the duct or the ductless
system, depending on which is desired
by the individual railroad.

“Our mechanical unit consists of a
four-cylinder compressor,” said Mr.
Newill. “This compressor produces five
tons of refrigeration when driven by a
7.5-hp. motor, and 7 tons when a 10-hp.
motor is employed.

“The mechanical unit is in an oblong
shaped housing that is easily slung from
the car frame. Both compressor and
motor are readily accessible for routine
checking. By slinging this equipment
under the car, we are eliminating the
necessity for permanently blocking
vestibules for carrying heavy equipment
overhead and for taking up revenue
producing space.

F-12 Used as Refrigerant

“Dichlorodifluoromethane, known as
F-12 or Freon, is used for refrigerant.
The refrigerant is carried from the com-
pressor under the car to coils installed
in the bulkheads, by small refrigerant
lines that are invisibly and easily in-
stalled without alteration of the car
structure.”

In the case of a standard sleeping
ear of 10 sections, one drawing room
and two compartments, Frigidaire engi-

of new air to be mixed with the recircu-
lated air. Excess humidity is reduced
by condensing moisture as the air
passes through the cooling coils. Road
tests have proven that comfortable con-
ditions are maintained in the berths,

whether the train is stationary or in

neers recommend two large coils for in-
stallation in the bulkheads at the ends
of the main section of the car and
smaller coils for the drawing room,
compartments and men’s and women’s
dressing rooms. Fans behind the coils
force the air through the cooling coils
and grilles that deflect the conditioned
air in the proper direction.

“Provision is made for introduction

motion,” Mr. Newill states.

“We estimate the refrigeration re-
quirement of a sleeping car operating
under maximum heat and humidity con-
ditions at five tons. The same amount
of refrigeration is needed for a diner
with seating capacity for 36 passengers
and a crew of six. We do not mechani-
cally air condition the galley, but a

the galley and dining space keeps a
curtain of new air moving downward
and into the galley at a rate sufficient
to supply the regular exhaust fans so
that the galley is always completely
ventilated without robbing the passen-
ger section of refrigerated air. This
system effectively reduces the tempera-
ture in the galley by about 15° F.”

Modern coaches with a passenger ca-
pacity of 70 to 80 passengers requires
approximately seven tons of refrigera-
tion under maximum conditions, Mr.
Newill says, pointing out that the new
equipment is adequate to meet these
requirements.

Ready for Installation

Frigidaire supplies the air-condition-
ing equipment ready for installation by
railroads in their own shops and by
their own employes. Since all the equip-
ment is standard, mechanical units and
interchangeable so that re-
placement stocks at shops may be kept
at a minimum, the announcement
states.

All cars will be equipped with thermo-
static controls, according to Mr. Newill.

runs on which cars go from one ex-
treme of temperature to the other, he
said.

“In anticipation of the desire of
passengers for addition of moisture in
winter,” he said, “and for light heating
in fall and spring when the long steam
radiators are not necessary, the coil and
fan assemblies are designed so that a
small heating coil and a steam jet may
be installed and the air circulated by
the regular blowers.

“Humidification will overcome the ab-
normally dry indoor atmospheric condi-
tions that often cause travelers to catch
cold, and will, at the same time, lower
the steam requirements for heating.

Introduce New Air

“Ordinary conditions brought on by
smokers have been met for coaches,
diners, and sleeping car dressing rooms
by the introduction of new air and
filtration of old.”

Executives of many of the major rail-
roads are visiting Dayton to inspect the
exhibit which has been set up at the
Frigidaire railway air-conditioning lab-
| oratories. One of the experimental cars
in operation during the last season is
a part of this exhibit. This exhibit in-
lcludes a testing car-shed in which the
|extreme heat and humidity of any sec-
| tion of the country may be reproduced

Displayed by the General Electric Co.
was a new development in commercial

principles of mercury vapor lamps and
incandescent lamps in one unit. This
light is said to produce a type of illu-
mination more similar to actual day-
light than anything yet produced by
illumination engineers.

One feature of the show was beryllium
copper in wrought commercial forms, a
new development in the copper alloy
field. The new alloy is still relatively
high in cost but offers the advantages
of being high in tensile strength and
fatigue limit, and of great hardness.

Many visitors at the show evidenced
considerable interest in the “gear
motors” displayed by several manufac-
turers. These motors are designed to
furnish slow motive power for operat-
ing machines in plants and factories of
various kinds.

Photo-electric cells and their various
adaptations in industry today were the
subject of several demonstrations and
motion pictures shown at the exposition.

Also on exhibition were photo-micro-
graphs of dust particles, prepared by
the Interboro Rapid Transit Co. with
the pure air committee of the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers. De-
vices for testing and measuring air pur-
ity were also shown.

Veeder-Root Co. of Hartford, Conn.,
exhibited apparatus for measuring the
fall of water drops. The device com-
prises two small metal shafts, several
inches long and set horizontally, and
tipped by rounded knobs which almost
touch.

As a water drop falls between these
knobs, it touches the surface of both
simultaneously and forms an electric
circuit, which actuates on odometer
used to clock the number of the drops.
The circuit is broken as the drop falls
from the two knobs.

During the exposition, the newly-

organized committee on modernization
of industrial plant facilities met to dis-
cuss its plans. The committee, under
the chairmanship of A. W. Robertson,
chairman of the board of Westinghouse
Electric & Mfg. Co., was formed to con-
duct a drive to rehabilitate industrial
equipment throughout industry.
The committee stated that “50 per
cent of the machinery equipment and
plant facilities in American factories is
obsolete, viewed from the fact that in
the last three years there has been more
improvement in equipment design than
in any like period of our industrial his-
tory, and that replacement has not kept
pace with engineering advance.”

It stated also that “many corpora-
tions having liquid funds drawing low
interest might better invest at this time
in more profitable equipment.”

Among exhibitors at the show were
the following of interest in the refrig-
eration industry:

The ammonia compressor used is a
Carrier-Brunswick No. 13, with a ca-
pacity of 4% tons (A.S.R.E. rating), but
actually operated at evaporating pres-
sures up to 35 lbs., with a corresponding
capacity in excess of 7 tons of refriger-
ation. The five unit coolers operate at
evaporating temperatures ranging from
18 to 40° F.

The compressor is fitted with a 10-hp.
variable speed motor. One of the con-
trol features is that the speed of the
motor is automatically varied so that
the refrigerating output of the compres-
sor is at all times equal to the load de-
mands.

The automatic control further in-
cludes the use of suction pressure con-
trol valves and thermal expansion
valves. C. I. Elliott and W. B. Rorison,
Carrier engineers, designed the installa-
tion.

Constant Temperature Cabinet

Frigidaire men cooperated with city engineers in the design of this
constant temperature and humidity cabinet for testing cement.

Special Frigidaire Cabinet Used for Testing
Cement under Standard Conditions

COLUMBUS, Ohio—To meet the tem-
perature and humidity requirements
necessary to test cement, engineers of
the City of Columbus and the Frigid-
aire Corp. have designed and construct-
ed a special constant temperature and
humidity storage cabinet.

Erected in the City’s Testing Labora-
tory here, the cabinet has a capacity of
75 sets of briquets (7 briquets to each
set), and is provided with automatic
thermostatic control.

The equipment was designed jointly
by M. Houghn, assistant engineer of the
Physical Testing Laboratory here, and
D. H. Wyatt, refrigerating engineer of
Frigidaire Corp. in Columbus. Direct-
ing the work were Charles P. Hoover,
chemist in charge of water purification,
and W. P. Halenkamp, director of the
Department of Public Service.

Included in the installation are a
Frigidaire refrigerating system, a gas
heater, and a Powers regulator. Humid-
ity and temperature control are ob-
tained by means of three fine streams
of water spraying down on spherical
surfaces. These sprays operate in the
top of the cabinet. The resulting mist,
which can be controlled by raising or
lowering the spherical surfaces in the
tube casings, controls the humidity and
temperature, Mr. Houghn explains.

Due to an excess of water condensing
and dropping down on the top shelf, a
baffle (not shown in photograph above)
was added under the sprays, across the
entire length of the cabinet. This elimi-
nated any trouble from water dropping

down on the molds or pats.

Overflow from the three sprays is
carried down the back of the cabinet
to the top pan under each spray. Each
pan contains an overflow maintaining
1% in. of water. Water flows from the
top pan down through each succeeding
pan, maintaining constant temperature
of the stored water.

From the bottom pan, the water
passes out through the overflow, which
has a water baffle to prevent inflow of
air through the drain. About 10 gals. of
water per hour are required.

Operators of the equipment report
that it has been possible to maintain a
humidity of 90 to 100 per cent at all
times, with a temperature varying not
more than one degree above or below
70° F. The cabinet occupies a floor
space of about 16 sq. ft.

Specifications for testing concrete in
Columbus have been adopted in accord-
ance with the provisions of the “Stand-
ard Methods of Testing Cement,” serial
designation: C77-30 of the American So-
ciety of Testing Materials.

These requirements stipulate that
“the temperature of the room, the ma-
terials, the mixing water, the moist

21° C. (70° F.), and the mixing water,
moist closet, and water in the storage

trated sulphuric acid as an adsorber
and a reciprocating vacuum pump con-
nected to the sulphuric acid spray
chamber, which was in turn connected
to a chamber enclosing the water-filled
ice cans,” he said.

Although the inventor claimed highly
economical operating costs as compared
with ammonia systems, Mr. Everetts be-
lieves its lack of popularity was due to
the facts that a very high vacuum is re-
juired and that sulphuric acid is very
active when not confined to its proper
place.

The Westinghouse-LeBlanc system
may be considered the father of the
eam-ejector system which is now be-
g applied to industrial and railroad
r conditioning, Mr. Everetts stated. In-
allations were made at a mine in
+thune, France (1910), and in a Minne-
Sota mining camp (1917).

Equipment for these installations re-
mbles that for present-day steam-
ector plants, he said, with a flash tank
r cooling the liquid, steam ejectors,
id condensers.
“The system had two parts, a larger
iit with about 20 tons of refrigeration
fect used to cool brine to 28° F., and
smaller unit for making one ton of
ice per day. Ice was made in a cylindri-
1 tank, and when removed could be
it into usable sizes,” he said.
Ice manufacturers did not take kindly
suggestions to abandon their conven-
t onal methods, and regarded this new
nethod as a stepchild.
About 1928, Mr. Everetts related, air-
mditioning engineers began to recog-
nize the features of the system using
vater as a refrigerant which lent it to
that type of application. These were
tie non-toxic qualities of water, and the
‘eater flexibility per unit of cost for
meeting the wide load variations pecu-
ar to air conditioning.

He then turned to comparisons of the

Bright Claims 15°
Comfort Cooling
Is Too Much

NEW YORK CITY—Addressing the
first session of the A.S.R.E. convention
here last week, George Bright, consult-
ing engineer of Detroit, brought out
two outstanding points in his talk on
“Comfort Cooling With Ice.”

First was a difference of opinion with
air-conditioning engineers who install
cooling systems to reduce air tempera-
tures 15° F. This is more than neces-
sary, Mr. Bright declared, citing the ex-
perience of several Detroit installations
where 2° and 3° cooling in hot weather
was found entirely satisfactory by retail
establishments.

Second, he urged the use of hourly
ratings of air-cooling capacity instead
of daily ratings. Thus one ton of re-
frigeration per hour is more significant
in estimating comfort-cooling installa-
tions than one ton per day, he pointed
out, because of the hourly variations in
cooling requirements.

The body of his talk was devoted to
descriptions and performance reports of
various Detroit installations of comfort-
cooling equipment—some with ice and
some with mechanical refrigeration.
Among these was the comfort cooler in
his own private office, and test installa-
tions made last summer by the Detroit
Edison Co., details of which have al-
ready been reported in ELectric REerric-
ERATION NEWS.

At the conclusion of Mr. Bright’s talk,
L. L. Lewis, air-conditioning engineer
of Carrier Engineering Corp., voiced
agreement with Mr. Bright’s ideas on
rating machines. Mr. Lewis suggested
ratings in terms of heat units—B.t.u.’s
per hour, instead of the conventional
ton of refrigeration per 24 hours.

with the compression type, from the
standpoints of performance, water con-
sumption, and operating costs. He con-
eluded by predicting that systems using
water as a refrigerant will find increas-

ing use, particularly in air conditioning.

GOFF DESCRIBES AIR
CONDITIONING THEORY

NEW YORK CITY—John A. Goff,
associate professor of thermodynamics,
University of Illinois, discussed “Air-
Conditioning Theory” with classroom
methods of presentation, at the first ses-
sion of the A.S.R.E. convention here
last Wednesday.

His paper emphasized the viewpoint
that air-conditioning studies are prob-
lems of the thermodynamic properties
of mixtures of air and water, and as
such should be approached with a
fundamental understanding of the ther-
modynamics of such mixtures.

In a mixture of water and air, water
is usually present in the form of super-
heated vapor alone, he said, although it
may become saturated and separate into
two phases. If the temperature of the
mixture exceeds 32° F., the two phases
will be saturated vapor and liquid, while
if the temperature is less than 32° F.,
the liquid phase can no longer exist in
equilibrium with the vapor, and ice will
appear, he pointed out.

He then proceeded to a discussion of
the mechanical properties of unsatu-
rated and saturated mixtures, and en-
thalpy. He took issue with the concept
of enthalpy as the total heat content
of a substance, pointing out that the
heat which may be added to a mixture
depends upon the pressure being exerted
on the mixture. He designated change
of enthalpy as the amount of heat
added to a substance at constant pres-
sure.

The remainder of his talk considered
fundamental calculations of mixing
processes of unsaturated mixtures, and
examples of estimating air-conditioning
requirements of typical problems.

He also mentioned that a new set of
tables giving the properties of air and
water mixtures for a total pressure of
760 mm. of mercury have been prepared
at the University of Illinois.

Zieber Tells Needs
In Storage of
Foods

NEW YORK CITY—W. E. Zieber,
York Ice Machinery Corp., showed
A.S.R.E. convention delegates how cold
storage requirements of various foods
vary throughout the year, and how a
refrigerating plant can be built to
handle the peak requirements of each
in its season.

The various commodities reach their
peaks of storage demands at different
times during the year, so that a cold
storage plant should be sized to accom-
modate the greatest requirement—
figured on a scientific basis, he pointed
out.

He also stressed the advantage of in-
stalling flexible refrigeration equipment
so that only that amount actually re-
quired at any one time can be oper-
ated, the remaining capacity being shut
down. Load requirements may vary
from 70 to 100 per cent in one day, he
stated, while at night the supply of re-
frigeration can be tapered down to
practically zero.

SEALEY TALKS ON NEW ICE
CREAM PLANT EQUIPMENT

NEW YORK CITY—P. T. Sealey,
chief engineer of the Reid Ice Cream
Corp., described the new ice cream
plant which his company has just in-
stalled, before the fourth session of the
A.S.R.E. convention here last Thursday.
The installation embodies many new
types of equipment which have been
developed for the manufacture of ice
cream.

The major portion of his presentation
consisted of two motion picture films
which depicted the production methods.
As the films progressed, Mr. Sealey ex-

plained the various operations.

JORDAN SAYS END OF
DEPRESSION REACHED

(Concluded from Page 1, Column 4)

their July-to-September gain, but are
now holding at a level. It is the stat-
istician’s belief that those factors limit-
ing security market progress are no
longer functioning.

Said the speaker: “The world-wide
economic crisis was passed last spring.
Responsible for the halt in downward
trends were U. S. government measures.
An increasing influx of gold into this
country will probably result in as much
gold in our reserves on Jan. 1, 1933, as
we had at the beginning of the present
year.”

Mr. Jordan showed that our old price
levels have been cut in half, while we
still bear the burden of indebtedness
contracted in the peak year of 1929. He
pointed out that we are now trying to
pay “dollar debts with 50-cent incomes.”

“We must,” he declared, “either re-
duce the debts themselves, or devaluate
(write down) our currencies.” The
United States, France, Switzerland, and
the Netherlands are the only countries
which have definitely remained on the
gold standard. Although some slight
debt reduction has been accomplished,
the major portion of this project is yet
to be effected.”

We are confronted with the fact that
foreign war debts cannot, and will not,
be paid, Mr. Jordan said, and added
that in addition to this limitation on our
income, we are burdened by our own
farm debts, national debts, and foreign
debts.

In closing, Mr. Jordan made this as-
sertion: “The responsibility for solving
our current economic problems lies with
American business men. Much depends
on the attitude they take toward the
situation. If they work constructively,
there is no reason why the condition
of our country today cannot be satisfac-

torily corrected.”

COPPER HYDROGEN WELDED

Revolutionary Process
for welding steel parts—
eliminates separate welds

Copper Hydrogen Electric Welding is a process
which is effecting great economies in the

electric refrigeration field.

For with this process a number of steel parts of
a given unit can be welded at one time thus

eliminating many intermediate
welds.

For example, all welds on evaporators, con-
densers, floats, tanks, etc., can be made at

one operation.

Also welding by this process insures longer life,

permanent strength at the joints, gas tightness
and a clean,

scale free surface.

Production of these parts by the Copper Hydro-
gen Electric Welding process is now in opera-

operations and

tion. Many electric refrigerator manufacturers
saw the merit of this new and revolutionary
process and were quick to take advantage of

this latest method.

admirably,

You too should look into Copper Hydrogen
Electric Welding which might fit your business

improve your product and save

you some money.

Patent Applications
Set Record

WASHINGTON, D. C.—The number
of patent applications disposed of dur-
ing the last fiscal year was the highest
in the history of the Patent Office, ac-
cording to the annual report of Com-
missioner of Patents Thomas E. Robert-
son.

Applications finally disposed’ of
amounted to 100,960 which was 7,553
above the previous record figure estab-
lished in 1931.

While the actual output of the Patent
Office increased, there was a marked de-
crease in the new work received in the
fiscal year 1932, the report shows, patent
applications dropping from the previous
year’s figure of 84,097 to 73,465.

The number of applications awaiting
official action, which was 119,597 two
years ago and 92,203 a year ago, has
now been reduced to 76,723, the lowest
number for almost five years.

Old cases were amended in greater
number, however, the office receiving
242,520 amendments during the year.
Reduction in the number of applica-
tions awaiting official action has _ re-
sulted in greatly reducing the time ap-
plicants have to wait for official action,
it is pointed out. Thus, two years ago,
out of 63 examining divisions, only three
were under six months in acting on ap-
plications, whereas at present, all divi-
sions are under six months.

GARRISON ELECTED OFFICER
OF MARBLE-CARD ELECTRIC

GLADSTONE, Mich.—R. H. Garrison,
former general sales manager for the
Universal Motor Co. of Oshkosh, Wis.,
has joined the Marble-Card Electric Co.
here as vice president in charge of
merchandise.

Marble-Card has made preparations
for increased production, according to
Mr. Garrison, and will attempt to se-
cure a larger market for its electrical
machinery. An_ extensive direct-mail
campaign, supplemented by some pub-
lication advertising, will feature the
company’s market expansion program.

CRYDER GIVES HEAT
TRANSMISSION DATA

NEW YORK CITY—New data on
“Heat Transmission from Metal Sur-
faces to Boiling Liquids” were given by
D. S. Cryder of the Massachusetts In-
stitute of Technology, Cambridge, Mass.,
at the second session of the A.S.R.E.
convention last Wednesday. Part of the
information presented was collected by
E. R. Gilliland in meeting the require-
ments for his master’s degree at Penn-
sylvania State College.

The paper described experimental ap-
paratus and discussed results of direct
measurements of boiling liquid-film co-
efficients of heat transmission by means
of an evaporator with an electrically
heated brass tube suspended in the boil-
ing liquid.

Thermocouples were used to measure
the temperature differences between
pipe surfaces and boiling liquids. Equa-
tions were developed correlating heat
transmission coefficients with the physi-
cal properties for the 11 different boil-
ing liquids studied.

KELVINATOR SERVICE MEN
ELIGIBLE FOR SALES COURSE

DETROIT—Service men working for
Kelvinator distributors and dealers are
eligible to matriculate in the correspond-
ence course in Kelvinator electric refrig-
eration which was recentiy innovated by
the International Kelvinator Sales Club.

The service men will take the course
under the same conditions that it is be-
ing offered to Kelvinator salesmen, and
they will be eligible to receive the
diploma qualifying them as Domestic
Refrigeration Engineers.

The correspondence course in refrig-
eration is being given through Sales
Slants, publication of sales helps. Each
month a list of questions is printed on
the final pages of Sales Slants, which
the “students” should be able to answer
|if they have read the preceding pages
carefully.

The course has been offered to the
|service men in an attempt to make them
|more sales minded, sponsors of this
| training state.
