A system to supply refrigerant to the coils also challenged Carrier’s engineers. Freon- 12 had been specified as the refrigerant needed to produce a temperature of -67°F. But Freon-12 had never been used in such a large system. Engineers redesigned their cen- trifugal compressors to handle a maximum of 7,150 tons of Freon-12.11 “Much was not standard,” Willis Carrier observed, “nor could it be, for such an unusual installation.” After numerous shakedown difficulties and false starts, the system was ready on 24 April 1944 for a formal run-in test. Carrier was present to watch the innovative system come to life. It worked as designed. Carrier later was to hail this system as his company’s greatest engineering feat.12 In the summer of 1943, as work on the IRT and the refrigerating system con- tinued, AERL created a new division to conduct icing research and hired Willson H. Hunter to take charge of it. Hunter brought extensive icing experience to the task. After The IRT Takes Shape Figure 2–4.

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
