The smell made a leak easily determined and by spraying the leak with ammonia, a dense white cloud of ammonium sulfide would form to pinpoint the exact location. The brine tank installation proved more difficult though. The installing technicians needed to mix the brine solution on site.
Typically, they used a standard wash tub to mix the solution. But, since the wash tub capacity was less than 12 gallons, the installers would fill the tub with 6 gallons of water and mix in the salt until it was completely dissolved. They emptied this mixture into the tank and added six more gallons to the tub and the rest of the salt then added that mixture to the brine tank.
Since 6 gallons of water can dissolve 15 lbs. So, the brine tank formed two layers of density and consequently two temperature layers. The copper evaporator coil quickly cooled the top layer forming thick layers of frost while it struggled to cool the lower denser layer which merely formed beads of condensation which dripped into the defrost pan.
The ice trays which were located by the lower portion of the tank barely managed to produce any ice. It took the first sales representative of the product, Mr. William Holladay, to solve this problem. Although small domestic refrigerators had been available from the early s, including the Kelvinator in , they were very costly, selling for more than a family car. The G. Monitor Top was the first affordable domestic refrigerator to be produced.
The identifying feature of this refrigerator is the hermetically-sealed condenser fitted to the top of the cabinet. Read more. Summary Object No. Object Statement Refrigerator with ice-cube tray, G.
