AirConditioning
Elaborate Plant Keeps Air
Almost Perfect in
Folger Library.
BY LAWRENCE TUCKER.

The Folger Shakespeare Memorial
Library, an architectural gem and one
of the finest buildings of its kind In
the world, is equipped with an elab-
crate air conditioning system that has
a very definite purpose. That pur-
pose is to help preserve the magnifi-
cent collection of books, manuscripts,
and priceless documents that are
gathered together In this beautiful
tribute to the poet of Avon.
When the building was built, it was
decided to provide equipment which
would be second TO none in efficiency
and effectiveness so that this collec-
tion would be preserved in perfect
condition for many years.
For a long time libraries and COL
lections Of printed matter Of all sorts
have been faced with the problem Of
combating the impurities in the air
caused by heating and power plants,
automobiles, and so forth. In fact,
it had become very essential to find
some method of Counteracting the
effect Of these impurities if many
priceless relics were to be saved.
Dust and SCOT that had seeped
through windows and doors covered
the books with a harmful coating of
CRIME. Sulphur dioxide in the air
caused paper to turn yellow, while
lack Of moisture made it brittle and
turn to dust. 1t was plainly a prob
lem for the science of air conditioning
to fight with all the tricks it could
muster.
Conditions Exact.
The ir-conditioning system at the
Folger Library creates an atmosphere
inside that is very close to perfect,
being maintained at exactly II deg ,ees
the year around, with a relative hu-
midity Of 81 degrees Before the air
Is brought into the main conditioner,
1t passes through glass wool filter
that removes a great proportion of
the dust and dirt carried in the air.
This filter is completely replaced every
four months. filled with the large
quantity of dirt that otherwise would
have passed into the building, causing
untold damage.
After passing through the filters,
the air passes through a washing
chamber that contains myriads of
small sprays of water. In the Sum-
mer time this water is chilled by a
refrigeration system in the basement
Evening star., 1935-01-12

circulated To a large portion OF the
$4,000 books that are gathered together
in the Folger collection, and the re-
naming volumes which are in the
library and reading room are supplied
with air from another washer system,
not equipped to cool the air in the
Summer. Still another washer and
blower system supplies air to the au-
ditorium and exhibition hall.
The various Offices are air condi-
toned by evaporative cooling in the
Summer, and are connected to an
exhaust system in the Winter that
removes all foul air, while the heat
ing is taken care of by thermostati-
cally controlled steam radiators.
The building engineer. Mr.. Sauer-
hoff, has made many improvements
in the controlling mechanism for this
elaborate plant, and maintains such
perfect weather conditions all year
that we really envy the life of bit
Of Shakespeare lore at the 'Folger."

The workers in the Robinson Deep
gold mine, near johannesburg, South
Africa, will be kept cool by the worlds
largest air conditioning plant when
installation is completed some time
this year
A leading American air conditioning
company is working on equipment,
which will be installed in the worlds
deepest gold mine. The mine shaft
ow extends $3.50 feet below the sur
face of the earth. This cooling of
the air will make it possible to sink
the mine to a depth where hereto
for it has been impossible for men
to work without endangering their
health.
The machinery to perform this
phenomenal feat is reported to be
stupendous, the three refrigeration
compressors having combined cool
ing effect equal to the melting of
over 1000 tons of ice, or the output
OF nearly 10000 domestic refriger-
ators. Each machine will be driven
by $50 horsepower motor, and will

that gives the same cooling effect as
the melting of about IA tons of ice.
In the Winter the water is heated,
II necessary, and the air is supplied
with the proper amount of humidity;
In the Summer the air is dehumidified
by the cold water sprays. After pass
ing through the spray chamber, the
air is circulated through ducts to two
vaults and a stock room where valu-
able literature on Shakespeare's life
and works is stored.
Air Neutralized.
An unusual feature of this system
is the use Of liquid called vaporine
which is added to the water sprayed
into the working chamber. This LIQUID
maintains the air in neutral chemi-
cal state, thereby keeping the paper
in perfect condition. II is necessary
to make frequent tests of the water
SO that the neutral state is main
tanned. and the air is neither acid
nor alkaline.
