Excerpt from The Absorption Refrigerating Machine: A Complete, Practical Elementary Treatise on the Absorption System of Refrigeration, and Its Broad General Principles of Operation The author is of the opinion that the past litera ture relating to the absorption system of refrigeration is quite too fragmentary and technical to be easily pieced together or properly understood except by those who, through their own practical experience, are already well versed on the subject. While many have a good general knowledge of the compression refrigerating system, but few seem to have such a knowledge of the absorption system, due probably to the fact that simple, practical literature on the subject was not available.
