The satisfactory solution to the problem of ventilating large capacity electrical units in land stations, by means of ducts, air washers, etc., is not as readily applicable to the cooling of electrical apparatus where extreme compactness is essential—as for instance in the propelling machinery of a ship. The use of the customarily large ventilation air ducts would tend to offset one of the great advantages of electric marine drive; viz., the enlargement of the cargo carrying space. The following article reviews an investigation made to overcome the difficulty by applying a closed system of air ventilation with water‐air radiators for removing the heat from the circulating system.–Editor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
