History

The American artist Oliver Evans, acclaimed as the "father of refrigeration," invented the vapor-compression algidity apparatus in 1805. Heat would be removed from the ambiance by recycling vaporized refrigerant, area it would move through a compressor and condenser and would eventually backslide aback to a aqueous anatomy in adjustment to echo the algidity action over again. However, no such algidity assemblage was congenital by Evans.8 In 1834, Jacob Perkins adapted Evans' aboriginal design, architecture the world's aboriginal refrigerator and filing the aboriginal acknowledged apparent for algidity application vapor-compression.9 John Gorrie, an American doctor from Florida, invented the aboriginal automated algidity assemblage in 1841, based on Evans' aboriginal apparatus to accomplish ice in adjustment to air-conditioned the air for chicken agitation patients. Gorrie's automated algidity assemblage was issued a apparent in 1851.10 In 1853, Alexander C. Twining of Cleveland, Ohio patented an aboriginal vapor-compression refrigerator that was absolutely able of bearing a ton of ice per day.11

In 1856, James Harrison, an immigrant from Scotland active in Australia, developed an ice authoritative apparatus application ammonia and an ether compressor. It was acclimated in the brewing and meat packing industries of Geelong, Victoria.12 Ferdinand Carré of France developed a somewhat added circuitous arrangement in 1859. Unlike beforehand compression-compression machines, which acclimated air as a coolant, Carré's accessories independent rapidly accretion ammonia.
