The Construction of n German Chemists
PlanNfor Its Manufacture.
The rapiRty with which scientific
discoveries nowadays receive industri-
al application is illustrated IN the con-
struction by Herr Linde, a German
''chemical engineer" of a large plant
for the manufacture of liquid air. As
a refrigerator liquid. air is in demand,
being the most powerful Of refriger-
ants. A further use of Herr Linde's
plant is the economical production. or,
rather, concentration of oxygen, since
in the process of cooling and condensa-
tion the air in his apparatus steadily
becmes richer in oxygen until the gas
becomes 20 per cent. of the product.
AT this strength oxygen gas is suff-
GENTLY good for certain practical pur-
poses and commands purchasers. The
cost of the gas thus prepared is much
less than that of oxygen obtained by
any other method.
The Linde apparatus embraces a
powerful engine to compress air. The
compressed air is cooled by ordinary
neans-cold water, for example. 1t
is then passed into a spiral pipe over
ZOO yards long. which pipe is inclosed
ia a second spiral pipe. By letting a
little of the compressed air IN the inner
pipe escape into the space between the
two pipes d low temperature is OBJ
