History of development of the refrigeration industry in Russia (from the second half of the 19th century to 1917)
Abstract
The use of cold to preserve perishable food products has been known to mankind since ancient times. It is enough to remember the ancient Greek and Roman states, where caves in the mountains with all kinds of ventilation passages and holes were used to preserve vegetables, fruits and wines.

Similar refrigerators in the mountains were also built in the Middle Ages in the Balkan countries, Crimea, Moldavia and the Caucasus. In some places people managed to create caves with sufficiently cold and dry air. The water of streams and wells was also used to preserve food in summer.



Horizons of cryology
Abstract
The paper deals with the main direction of development of cryology the science of refrigeration, methods of its production and practical application. Special attention is given to problems of decrease of energy consumption and reduction of adverse effects on the environment.






Increasing the technical level of domestic refrigeration equipment
Abstract
New assemblies of refrigerating compressor were developed by NDF «Khimkholodservice» company oil coolers, oil separators, automation systems, pm panels with systems of smooth start — are described.
Use of these assemblies meeting the won technical level, will considerably impove operational characteristics and service life of Russian refrigerating units and machines.
