VIII Won give me an idea of the processes Of
making artificial ice? Do they afford profitable
industry? H. H. W.
The processes vary with different sys-
tens. but in general depend on the alb
sorption of heat by the evaporation OF a
volatile LIQUID. Anhydrous ammonia. which
boils at 27 degrees below zero, is the liz
uid most commonly employed. While the
ice is forming. the ammonia is kept IN
cooling pipes or chambers, ana the gas
that comes from its evaporation is pre-
served. condensed. and used again. For
producing ice in cakes. the water TO De
frozen is put in cans and immersed IN a
tank of brine which is kept at temper
ature of Is to is degrees. The processes
are successful from a commercial stand
point and for the coming summer in the
western part of this country promise to be
very profitable because the winters natu-
raj ice crop was very poor.
