AMMONIA As REFR1GERANr.

Q. Please explain the use OF ammonia
in making ice. Is it used in the brine
only or in the ice itself? d. W. S.
A. The Bureau of Standards says am
monia is used as a refrigerant 1t is not
placed in either the brine or the ice In
fact, after ammonia gets into either the
brine or the ice, it is a sign that some
thing Is radically wrong with the plant.
Ammonia gas is compressed and is then
cooled, usually by water flowing over
the pipes through which the ammonia
Is passed This cooled gas, under high
pressure. is then allowed to expand and
in so doing it takes up the heat from
whatever substance surrounds 1t. The
substance may be either brine or water.
In the case Of the former the brine Is
cooled to a temperature well below the
freezing point OF water, while In the case
of the latter, the water is changed into
ice.
