"Verbal" notes and sketches for marine engineers : a manual of marine engineering practice, intended for the use of naval and mercantile engineer officers of all grades, and students, and is specially compiled for the use of engineer officers preparing for examinations of competency at home or abroad . COo SYSTEM ON Messrs The Haslam Foundry and En., , Deki;v. Verlial Notes and Skeiche?. [ To face pai^c 560. Refrio-eration ;6i carrying a mixed cargo, such as frozen meat in the holds and fruitin the tween decks, or a general cargo, such as butter, eggs, cheese,poultry, fish, &c. The holds are fitted with brine pipes, under the. deck and on the sides, for maintaining a low temperature. Thetween decks are fitted with collapsible air trunks, through whichthe cold dry air is circulated at a suitable temperature for preserving 562 Verbal Notes and Sketches fruit. The air is drawn through the suction trunks by means ofa steam-driven fan ; it is then passed through the air cooler, consistingof nests of pipes through which the cold brine is circulated. The airis thus cooled to any desired temperature, all moisture being depositedon the pipes in the form of snow. The trunks are so designed thatthe foul air can be discharged into the atmosphere and fresh airsupplied as required. The tween decks can also be fitted with brinepipes. When they are not in use the collapsible air trunks are hingedup out of the way. The two small chambers which are intended forholding passengers provisions are fitted with brine pipes, the largerone being maintained at a temperature of 20 Fahr. for meat, andthe other at a temperature of 35°
