Synopsis
Excerpt from Manual of Ice-Making and Refrigerating Machines: A Treatise on the Theory and Practice of Cold-Production by Mechanical Means
In the cities and towns of the Southern States, ice-making by artificial means is re garded almost as a necessity; and in the large business centers of the North, ice factories are increasing with great rapidity, entering into direct competition with the natural-ice companies, and it is only a matter of a few years when the natural product will be crowded out of the market entirely.
The economical production of artificial ice is already an established fact, and it only re mains for capital and enterprise to make the industry general.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of artificial ice making, a technology that has revolutionized how we cool and preserve food. The author takes the reader on a journey through the scientific breakthroughs and technological innovations that led to the development of artificial refrigeration, from the early experiments of scientists like Blasius Villafranca and Latinus Tancredus in the 16th and 17th centuries, to the pioneering work of Prof. Twining in the mid-19th century. The book explores the evolution of different refrigerating systems, including the air compression and ammonia absorption methods. It delves into the scientific principles behind these processes, explaining how gases like ammonia absorb heat as they evaporate and release it as they condense. The author also details various methods for producing ice, from the traditional use of brine to the more advanced plate and stationary cell systems. The book examines the development of techniques for creating transparent ice, a crucial factor in meeting the growing demand for a high-quality product. This captivating history illuminates the ingenuity and scientific knowledge that have been applied to the production of artificial ice, a technology that has had a profound impact on our daily lives.
