FReszIre eY MAoHItjERY.
Its Results a. Compared with Those
Through the Use Of Melting Ice.

The srrnriori.y of refrigeration OBJ
tanned by mechanical processes, "a COM
parod with that obtained by melting ice
appears in tao facts that by IL more in-
tense cold may be- secured; that any do
sired dcgfoe uf cold may be maintained
with perfect uniformity; that a drier
atmosphere il secured in the rcfrigerat-
ing box or room; that the Inconvenience
Of frequently repleniahing the ice bun
kcrs and the slop and dirt attendant upon
this work are avoided; that the annoy
ing uncertainty Of ice supply and varia-
bility in its price are avoided; that
space in the rooms OF boxes to be cooled
is economiaed by substitution Of a coil
Of pipe ON walls Of ceiling for the bulky
ice bunker, and that this refrigeration
can be employed for many purposes and
places whore ice cannot be used at all.
Added to all this il the fact, Of para
mount Importance, that where much
refrigeration is required tho cost Of a
machine and its operation is far less
than the cost Of ice sufficient to do an
equal amount of work.
1hose advantages have proved so great
in practice that every brewery. packing
house, cold storage warehouse or other
establishment requiring large amount
Of refrigeration contains its individual
refrigerating plant. Where consumption
amounts TO ten tons or more of ice daily
the question of economy will be almost
invariably decided in favor of the ma
chine II less than ten tons be required,
the cost Of a machine and its operation
may exceed tho cost of ice sufficient to
do n similar amount Of work. IL many
cases the superior quality of tie rofrig-
GRAFTON obtained, its cleanliness, relia-
bility and convenience or the require
ment of more intense cold than ice will
produce secures the adoption Of the ma
chine. Therefore small machines are
frequently found ON shipboard, in ho
tells and apartment houses and in many
manufactures. but most Of the ice gath.
cred from rivers and lakes or made in
factories is not consumed by the few
who require large quantities, but by the
many, who severally require less than
ten tons day.
The effort TO bring this superior re-
| frigeration within the reach Of small
consumers has taken two directions
the production of small and inexpensive
automatic machines and a system OF
supply Of the rcfrigerant from General
stations. The first has failed hitherto,
because the balance of constantly vary.
ing pressures, temperatures, strength OF
solution, etc.. is too complex a matter
for purely automatic regulation. With
ont constant skilled attention the ma
chimes work Enthusiastically, while tn,
relatively high cost Of plant, fuel ant
cooling water in operating on n smal
scale defeats economy. Chicago Times
