The slightdrip from the ceiling would only be annoying over the open-ings in the air ducts, since the floor of the coil loft iswatertight. * In order to overcome this defect, the ceiling over theair ducts should be covered with %iiich yellow pine boardswhich are nailed to lx2-inch cleats, fastened to the Over Hog Coolers Hog coolers are divided into sections or tunnels byplacing partitions between the posts. These are generally 64 PACKING HOUSE COOLERS spaced 16 feet on centers, which provides room in eachcooler for six hanging rails. The partitions should be insulated with two inches ofcorkboard or other material of equal insulating value andshould extend from the floor of the cooler to the ceiling ofthe pipe-loft. The arrangement of the air ducts in hogcoolers must be different from that of beef coolers, onaccount of the greater amount of warm meat which isplaced in the hog coolers at one time. The warm air and.

In Figure 42 is illustrated the construction of the pipe-loft. Two warm air ducts, 16 inches wide, are placed oneon each side of the room and a cold air duct, 18 incheswide, in the center. With this arrangement of ducts, theair need only travel one-half the width of the cooler beforeit reaches the warm air flue to the pipe-loft.
