.To cool such a large volume sufficiently to produce a per-ceptible difference of temperature requires an abstraction ofan immense amount of heat. To produce this cooling effectby passing the air over brine coils would require a largeadditional space, and on account of the inefficiency of thecooling surface, an expense for refrigerating apparatus nearlyequal to the entire heating plant. Systems like this have beeninstalled, but the cost has made such installations notable ex-ceptions. An atomized spray of water offers an enormous coolingsurface as compared with either of the foregoing. The in-numerable particles in intimate contact bring the temperatureof the air nearly to that of the water, and this system offersby far the most practical and inexpensive means of coolingon a large scale wherever such cooling is combined withventilation.
