Mr.. II. |. Kimball presents a
scheme to refrigerate without ice.
This is done by condensing ammonia
gas into liquid and allowing it to
expand through coils of pipe. In
the process of expansion the gas alb
serbs the heat and reduces the tenn
perature to freezing point. Ice is
thus utterly done away with, and the
expense of ice is saved. More than
this, the injurious effect of the mum.
berless bacteria found in ice formed
by chemical process is avoided.
