New Packaged Aid Conditioner
by Typhoon
Development of a new l'/2, 2 and 3-ton
packaged air conditioner is announced by
James F. Daily, president of the Typhoon
Air Conditioning Co.. Inc. of Brooklyn,
N. Y. Taking their places alongside the
larger Typhoon units which are made in
3, 5 and 7-ton sizes, the new console units
are already being distributed by the firm's
dealers.
Featuring several refinements in design,
the new air conditioner has a split-pan
condensate removal system that makes it
possible to incorporate in a small area
the over-sized components found in other
Typhoon units. The condensate removal
pans serve a dual purpose by creating an
even flow of air through the cooling coil,
thereby insuring maximum heat transfer
over its entire area. Specially developed
by Typhoon engineers, the condensers are
all copper with exterior return bends.
Water cooled, the new units can often
be used in situations where air cooled units
are not practical, nexible copper tubing
makes possible easy, economical water connections.
Large, slow-turning compressors
give high output per horsepower with low
noise level and this Typhoon air conditioner
is engineered to deliver its full rated
capacity under trying conditions
The cabinet of the new console unit, here
pictured, is made of heavy furniture steel,
smartly styled and finished in a rich, royal
brown crackle. Thorough insulation insures
quiet operation, and for easy inspection
and maintenance, the removal of a
single large cover exposes the entire
mechanism. Further information may be
obtained by writing Typhoon Air Conditioning
Co.. Inc., 794 Union St., Brooklyn
15, N. Y.
New Seli-Cleaning Vacuum
Cleaner Introduced
The Continental Car-Na-Var Corporation
of Brazil, Indiana, announces the addition
of a new self-cleaning industrial
vacuum cleaner to its line of floor maintenance
material and equipment.
Called the "Eject-O-Vac," the new machine
is said to be revolutionary in that
it is self-cleaning. There is no dust bag
to empty or tank to dump A water trap
catches and saturates the dust in the 15-
gallon tank. To erripty the machine a
bucket of clean water is sucked into the
tank, a lever reversed and the dirty contents
ejected through the intake hose
into the bucket, a sink, a toilet stool or
out the window.
Water may be picked up from the floor
and disposed of the same way. Enough
water is automatically retained to keep the
water trap effective. No need to remove
the lid except when machine gets clogged
by accident or neglect. Germacide may be
added in water trap to destroy germs in
collected dust.
In addition to the usual tools that go
with a vacuum cleaner is the patented 13-
inch nozzle in which are fitted reversible
squeegees, thereby greatly increasing
"pick-up" efficiency.
These machines are now in production
and sell for $275.00 complete with essential
attachments. Complete information
may be obtained by writing the Continental
Car-Na-Var Corporation, 1544 E. National
Ave., Brazil, Ind.
Self-Contained Fountainette,
A West Coast Product
Striking a new note in soda fountain
development, Anderson & Wagner, Inc., of
Los Angeles have recently announced a
new, compact and fully complete unit
known as the Imperial Fountainette
While this new piece of equipment is
only 5 feet in length, it is entirely selfcontained,
equipped with a \'2 h. p. her-
metically-sealed compressor and a refrigerated
carbonator and water cooler that
provides a large supply of soda and sweet
water, chilled to just the right temperature.
The Imperial Fountainette fills a need
for volume fountain operations in a minimum
space. When it is to be used in connection
with equipment where compressors
and carbonators have already been installed,
it may be purchased as a remote
unit, and the carbonator-cooler unit simply
becomes a modern water cooler. When
purchased as a complete unit for self-contained
installation, all that is necessary
is to hook up the plumbing and plug in
one electrical connection.
Additional information may be obtained
from Anderson & Wagner, Inc., 8701 S.
Mettler St., Los Angeles 3, Calif.
New Multi-Purpose Adhesive
Now Available
Plastics, wood, metal, rubber, leather,
crockery, glass, mirrors and labels can
now be easily adhered to themselves or to
each other on an efficient production-line
basis by a versatile and powerful vinyl
base cement, according to an announcement
by its manufacturer, Schwartz Chemical
Company, Inc.
The company reports that two years of
continuous research has resulted in the
development of this efficient all-purpose
transparent water-white cement that is
easy to apply and does not affect the material
it is applied to, mirrors and thin
plastics included. Called Rex-N-Glue, it is
said to dry fast; but not too fast for
handling large pieces. The colorless coldsetting
adhesive should have considerable
interest to the industrial world because
it requires only a one-surface application,
has good wet "grab," remains permanently
flexible and will not become brittle. It
can easily be applied by brush, roller or
spray and is resistant to water, oil, gasoline,
vermin and mould. The manufacturer
states it is completely non-staining
and has excellent tensile strength. Product
available in gallon cans as well as in
steel drums.
