dity. The conditionswere only comparatively comfortable, very much better thanthe natural outside atmosphere, but no one would desire suchconditions except as an alternative for something worse. Cooling by Refrigerating Machines: Where idealresults are desired for summer a few buildings in the pasthave been provided with ice machines for cooling and dehu-midifying. Those installations, generally speaking, which have beensuccessful have used coils through which cold brine wascirculated and over which the air for ventilation was passed. The cold pipe surface cooled the air and condensed aportion of the moisture. Carrier System of Dehumidifying: By the use ofthe Carrier System the water which is cooled by means ofthe ice machines is brought in direct contact with the airto be cooled. The cooling and dehumidifying effects areidentical with the results obtained by use of the cold brinecoils except that the Carrier System can be controlled more 89 Carrier Air Conditioning Company of America

The advantages of the Carrier System are many;namely: ist. The saving of power. 2nd. Saving in size of ice machines. 3rd. Saving in first cost. 4th. Saving in space. 5th. Saving in attendance. 6th. Ease and simplicity of regulation. 7th. A more efficient means of heat transfer, due to theintimate contact of the cold water and the air. 8th. The elimination.of the trouble of ice or frost being deposited on the pipes, which has to be occasionally thawed off. Well Water: In many localities an abundance of well water is available at temperatures ranging from 54 degrees to 60 degrees F. In such cases all results and benefits derived from an ice machine are procurable, except where unusually low temperatures and humidities are required. With the water entering at 54 degrees the air can be cooled to 60 degrees or lower, depending upon the
