THE DISTRIBUTION OF COLD

Los Angeles, Denver and Kansas City The lengths
of the pipe lines used for this purpose vary from
mile and a half to II miles The financial results
vary from success TO failure.
In general it appears advantageous to centralize
cold production in large plants and distribute it
either by means of chilled brine by the
ammonia used in the refrigeratng machines, prefer
ably the latter although it requires elaborate
piping and therefore more 1t is important
to have tight joints in the piping few leaks may
easily eat up the profits of the business. In
systems the pipes are welded together, end to end,
but is then necessary introduce special expansion
