A very interesting refrigerating plant
ha* been installed in the great market
buildings in Vienna, which, although
(there are other and as important
plants elsewhere, possesses features
that render it worthy of notice. As the
plant is intended merely to maintain
a low temperature, without reaching
the freezing point, thus providing stor-
age rooms cool enough to insure the
iproper preservation of meats and other
market articles, and at the same time
avoiding the objections of too low tem-
perature, the indirect system is
adopted, cooled air being distributed
through the storage chambers by a
iforced circulation. The refrigerating
machines used in this especial case op-
erate with carbonic acid gas, the gas
being compressed to liquefaction and
producing cold when it is allowed to
expand.
