ME LINDE BRITISH RBFRIGEBA. TION COMPANY (Limited). The progress made during the past year in the application of mechanical refrigera* tion to industrial purposes appears to hare been very romarkable. Mersrs Jab. J, Niven & Co, Hawke's Bay Foundry, ' Napier, Sola Agents in New Zealand for the Linda British Kefrigeration Company (Limited), 35, Queon Victoria Street, London, E C.. informs us that up tc the cod of 1894, the machiu6B on their system Buppli d number ai-out 2300. 235 were supplied during 1894, of which it U aatig. factory to note that the greater part ara for use m British territory or on board ships built in the United Kingdom A noticeable feature is the s"ze of tha machine? supplied, pnrticuhrly for marine ÜB6. Until recently the refrigeiated holds were usually of a comparatively email capacity, but during last j ear thre inftal. latiouß, each of a capacity of over 100,000 carcases of sheep, have been fitted on board the Perthshire, Buteshire, and Banff, shire, and th-se vessels have be°n ao strikingly successful, that exact duplicates of th ) refrigerating machines have been adopted for the two new vessels for the New Zealand Shipping Company. These installations are by far the largest of any on boaid ship, and indeed are much above the average size of a land installation A considerable number of other vessels have also been fi ted with Linde m obims, notably the Warrimoo, now runn'og in the new Canadian and Australian service, tha Emp ror of Germany's yacht, Roh"nzollern, and several vessels of the British and Colonial Steam Navigation Company. North German Lloyd's, and several other •eadiog lines. There are now over 250 of these luuchines at worts oa board ships, the majority of them being of large size. On land there has betn considerable de» vo'opmenf, especially in machine s intended for the tropics. The company's patented system of compound working is now ve-y largo'y in use in hot climates with most remarkabl) eucceis. By th ; s system practically all the difficulties incidental t h : gh teroperatur Bof waUr and air are eliminated, and there is no ialling off in the re r rigerating effect. Several incidtDtal advantages are attained. An old ether machine conveited to this syetem is producing, ia India, roarly 8 ton's of ice pr ton of coal, and this with an* old engine and low pies-ura boiler. With a mode a plant throughout-, fiom 12 to 14 tons of ice can be obtained par ton of fuel, acd oren nore with machines of lho largest eize. 'J li 3 compound system h s also, bees very succcs fu ly applied for meat freezing and refrigeration. Three ve-y large planta a r e being put up in Qiiensltina Ono for the Bowea Meat Works, and two for the Queensland Meat Export and Agenoy Company, Limitei), Brisbane and Townsviile. At the la ter place only a very Email quan'ity of cooling -water is available — about I,' 00 gallons per hear, and that at a temperature of 104deg. Fahr. 1 here aro now several of theee machines^ at work in New Zha'and, and one or two new plants on their way 4 out. In England soveral large plantß have been erected. The Corporation of Slancbestfr bare four large machines of a total rofu'gorating capacity of about 360 tons, at their Elm Street irarksts. A store of over a quarter, of a million cubic fet>t capacity, is being erected at Now'ilibernia Wharf, London Bridge, an i there is anothi r of half the sizs at Uay'a Wharf, B.E. All these pi mis areoa tie Linde patent air circulation syetem. Amongst th» new applications of the Linde system daring the year, may bo mentioned the experiments in thawing fn zen meat, so as !o put it on the market in better condiion. At the lownßville Ueat Works, some f ozen carcßsses were exposed 'o the current of comparatively w» rm air from a Lindo Patent Air Circulation Machine at an increasing tern pera ure. The meat was giadna'ly restored to its original condition, and was highly ep->ken of by experts. This air circulation system lends itself peculiarly well to the purpose, owiDg to the absence* of any pipes in the rooms and the active escalation of a current of dry i<ir. This system of thawing will, no doubt, come into extended use.
