Summary

A 4 DEG C COLDROOM, 2 M X 2 M X 2 M, WAS COOLED WITH AUXILIARY REFRIGERATION PROVIDED BY WINTER'S COLD AIR. OUTSIDE AIR WAS ADMITTED TO MAINTAIN THE ROOM IN THE 3-5 DEG C RANGE. SIMULTANEOUSLY, COLD AIR WAS USED TO CHILL A 50: 50 MIXTURE OF ANTIFREEZE AND WATER BY CIRCULATING THE LIQUID THROUGH A FORCED DRAFT FIN RADIATOR MOUNTED OUT OF DOORS. THE MIXTURE WAS PUMPED THROUGH PIPE IMMERSED IN AN INSULATED WATER TANK AT 0 DEG C AROUND WHICH ICE FORMED. COLD WATER AT ABOUT 0 DEG C WAS CIRCULATED THROUGH A SECOND FORCED DRAFT RADIATOR MOUNTED WITHIN THE COLDROOM. THE PURPOSE OF THE OPERATION WAS TO REDUCE MECHANICAL REFRIGERATION RUNNING TIME.
