Synopsis

Explore how centralized refrigeration makes ice and cooling affordable for cities.

This thesis presents a practical look at refrigeration systems used in a city setting. It discusses two main methods—compression and absorption—along with direct expansion and brine cooling. The work analyzes how exhaust steam from lighting plants can power or supplement cooling, and it compares design choices, costs, and operation for an ice-making facility connected to a central station.

- Learn the differences between compression and absorption refrigeration, including key components and how each cycle works.
- See how plant layout, ice-making capacity, and energy use affect cost and profitability.
- Understand how steam, cooling water, and brine interact to run a city-scale ice plant.
- Get an example of how labor, maintenance, and operating schedules influence annual expenses and output.

Ideal for readers of early 20th-century engineering and those curious about the economics of centralized refrigeration and ice production.
