"Temperature, Humidity, Air Circulati<strong>on</strong> and Ventilati<strong>on</strong>,"<br />

by M. R. Carpenter, Architect and Refrigerating Engineer,<br />

72 W. Washingt<strong>on</strong> St., Chicago, Illinois<br />

During the past ten years, or thereabout, the subject of air c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s<br />

in cold storage has been receiving c<strong>on</strong>siderable attenti<strong>on</strong> from<br />

those who are in a positi<strong>on</strong> to recognize the shortcomings of the average<br />

cold storage plant as a means of holding and preserving edible<br />

products, during the time of storage.<br />

FIG. 65.—INSULATED MEAT COOLER ON BLUE STAR LINE S. S. ALAMEDA,<br />

SHOWING INSTALLATION OF PIPING ON CEILING AND ALL WALLS.<br />

Many things are involved in the successful preservati<strong>on</strong> of such<br />

commodities and it is for the purpose of calling attenti<strong>on</strong> to these<br />

various items that this paper is written.<br />

As a rule, cold storage plants represent the expenditure of large<br />

sums of m<strong>on</strong>ey and are owned and operated by c<strong>on</strong>servative business<br />

men, who have to be shown before they will adopt any new system,<br />

or attempt to maintain any c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong> in their cold storage rooms<br />

which has not been proved to them to be desirable in practical use.<br />

This is good business policy, as failure would mean the loss of enormous<br />

sums in spoiled goods, which they would have to assume, due<br />

to such experiments.<br />
