Excerpt from A d104book on Marine Engineering: Arithmetic, Mensuration, Mechanics, Steam and Steam-Boilers; With Practical Questions and Examples A knowledge of the theory and practice of refrigeration is becoming imperative, owing to the rapidly extending use of refrigerating machines on ships; for this reason, a chap ter on refrigeration has been inserted. The information contained in this chapter will enable the engineer to under stand and intelligently direct the operation of refrigerating apparatus. The purification of feed-water being a subject of vital importance, considerable space has been devoted to modern methods of purification, the neutralization of corrosive water, and the testing of feed-water.
