102'2 COTTAGE, FARM, AND VILLA ARCHITECTURE the refrigerators used by brewers j but others, as jelly, cream, ice, &c., can only be cooled by contact of cold fluids, or vr^ solids, in a state of rest. For per- forming this more effectually and rapidly, fig. 1824 is proposed as a kitchen fixture: a is a parallelo- 182S piped pan of bright planished (a planished surface is one first polished, and then pressed by a stamp with a smooth bright die) tin for holding water, filled by the cock, b, emptied by c, and ar- ranged to hold ice pails, &c. &c., by immersion. From the upper part proceeds a horizontal pipe to a series of common one-foot fla; wrought-iron pipes similar to those used for heating by hot water ; the other extreme of which is connected with the bottom of the tin vessel, by the pipe d. The flat pipes are coveretl loosely over with patent felt, kept moist by the dropping of a cock placed over it. The series of flat pipes is placed in a draught of air, or in an artificial draught caused by a tunnel, leading to the ash-pit of any furnace in the kitchen ; and thus such an evaporation is kept up on their surface as cools the water in them ; and, a circulation taking place, the fluids in the tin vessel are cooled likewise. Thus, blancmange, &c., may be readily cooled in the height of summer." 1825 1826
