In an hour but It Is not necessary to freeze the water The ammonia vapor hi then forced to a compressor where It la turned Into a gas which is in turn conveyed to a condenser and reduced loa lo-a liquid state again and Is I used over There Is very little waste of the ammonia am-monia and the Ice machine is supplied with It about once each year The freezing tank holds ll 180 cans each can having a capacity of 220 pounds of Ice It takes fortyeight passes to the cooler This cooler Is made up of several hundred feet ot IiIneh pipe above which IH a L amall tank full of cold water I The cold water is allowed to run over the pipes and by the time he I water has traversed the last few feet of pipe it is an cold as It was before it was ilrst boiled The water then passes through two distillers The distillers are two large tanks filled l with pulverised i charcoal When the water comer out of the distillers dis-tillers It In turned Into the freezing tanks ready for use 32 r t L r 1

part of the ice used in Salt Lake City comes neither from glacier canyon or I duck pond but Is manufactured within four brick walls by night and by day In coll weather and in hot The Salt Lake Ice company owns the plant and supplies most of the families who revel in the possession of refrigerators The plant Is I located on Third Vest street m between Eighth and Ninth South and is well worth a visit from any poison t hours to freeze a can of Ice ready for delivery to customers The cans are not all lifted at once and rclllled with water to allow freezing but Instead a can is lifted every = six minutes The start is made at one end of the tank where the ire Is lak n out of the can which is I reillled with water and lowered I low-ered into the salt water to be frozen again By the time the last can hash has-h clI lifted the first can is again frozen froz-en and In this way the making of Ice goes on day and night during as many months an there is a demand for the Large quantities of ice are stored III the surrounding canyons during the winter months and Imported In the summer This ice is much harder than the artificial Ice owing to the severe frosts it is subject to during the winter win-ter While it Is not made of distilled water it is considered good 1 as the water in the mountain teams is comparatively com-paratively pure Ice made of clearwater clear-water is deep blue in color

as compared with other machinery but it does Its work perfectly It has been on the go for over three month night and lay without a stop for even a second Connected Con-nected with the machine there ins a tank which supplies ammonia The ammonia is forced through a sprayer by pumping the vapor into Iron coil pipes This vapor pusses from the Ice machine to the freezing tank The pipes in this tank arc arranged in rows product The water used to freeze the distilled dis-tilled water Is saturated with salt which can stand many degrees of cold more than the fresh water The saltwater salt-water Is about 11 degrees above zero which would freeze fresh water as hard as steel When this cold salt water comes In contact with the cans filled with fresh distilled water the contents of the can Immediately begin to freeze Nothing but distilled water is used in making ice and it is as pure as water wa-ter can be made The water Is first bdlled and turned Into steam The has developed Into one of the best paying Industries The invention of Ice machines has made it possible to manufacture ice in India and all tropical tropi-cal countries where heretofore ice or snow was unknown 1 I I L C 3

the cold vapor passes The tank Is i lllled with salt water which Is kept In 1 i perpetual motion and which contlnu I Hly = flows round the pipes The cold ammonia vapor puts a frost on thi out ode of the pipe and the water takes up the frost and becomes cold I This process Is I carried on until the water is far below the freezing point The freezing vat usually registers about 13 degrees above zero and En I steam is 1 then forced into a condenser where it Is converted Into water The condenser Is composed of 172S feet of HiInch pipe Above this pipe there is a large tray filled with cold water Ihe
