Section 196 Ice Machine
"With an animal power machine." Wang Luobin Zuihou used this thing.
The so-called animal power machine. It is a kind of transmission device for livestock to change its own weight, pedal force and traction force for slewing power, and then drive to various operating machines, its operating efficiency is actually very limited, but it can be used to drive a variety of more complex machinery, and it was widely used in Europe and the United States in the early 19th century before the popularization of electric power and steam engines, including driving various agricultural equipment, used as ore lifting and pumping in mines, and even driving machine tools in factories.
After the steam engine jishu matured, this animal power engine was quickly eliminated, and it continued to be used in the countryside for a stage, and gradually disappeared completely.
The animal power machine that Wang Luobin is going to use to drive the pumping machine is an inclined crawler type. Figuratively speaking, it is a cow or a horse running in place on a treadmill. A large flywheel is mounted on the shaft of the wooden track to adjust the rotational speed, which is driven by a pulley. This kind of animal power machine can be built very large, enough to accommodate 2~3 livestock at the same time.
Considering that the output power equivalent of a cow is only equivalent to 411W in actual work for a long time, and the output power of two cows doing work at the same time can ensure that the output power is slightly more than 1 horsepower, Wang Luobin designed two identical machines, so that the cow can be quickly switched after being tired to ensure that the pumping is not interrupted.
Of course, in order for such a machine to operate effectively for a long time, it is necessary to raise enough livestock. To be on the safe side, it's best to have 6 to 8 heads. It's relatively easy, just build a barn. Raising chickens in modern cities also falls into the category of crackdowns, but it is normal for ancient city residents to raise pigs. In the first half of the 20th century, many people raised sheep and cattle in the dignified residential areas of Beijing. Some restaurants can even raise hundreds of sheep.
Wang Luobin pointed out in passing that the shallow groundwater of KAO can only be used on a small scale to make such a tap water system, and it is really difficult to supply the baths, even if the manpower required to pump the well water itself is not taken into account, such long-term pumping will greatly reduce the amount of water produced from the well - because the replenishment of the groundwater table is not as fast as no one thinks.
The best way to ensure supply is to drill deep wells into aquifers, with abundant water and stable supply.
"A two-stage water supply is used, with animal power machines pumping water from deep wells to reservoirs on the surface, and from reservoirs to water towers. Such pumping strokes are shorter. โ
"Dig a small deep well?" Zhang Xingpei shook his head again and again, "The jishu content of digging deep wells is too high. There is no such jishu in this time and space, but there is, where to find the special steel casing for drilling wells, and will it be provided by the Industrial Energy Commission? Besides, if you drill a deep well, the hand-pressed pumping machine will be ineffective......"
"It's not difficult. They don't even need to be assigned to work in the classroom. Wang Luobin asked, "Do you know the salt well in Zigong, Sichuan?" โ
"Where to boil salt in brine?"
"The ancient salt wells and natural gas wells in Zigong were all hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters deep, and deep wells were also dug out with primitive means, so it is not a problem to go to Jishu."
"The problem is that the salt workers are in Sichuan."
"It's okay, just ask Guangzhou Station to recruit some people. There will be brave men under the great reward. As soon as they came, they were asked to dig deep wells -- the deep wells here don't need to be drilled for hundreds of meters, I think 50 meters is enough. โ
This matter was quickly implemented, Guo Yi gave Qiwei a codex, asking them to immediately go to the artesian well in Sichuan to recruit local salt workers who can dig wells, the number is not limited, the treatment is preferential, and they can bring their families.
Although Qiwei's shopkeeper Sun couldn't figure out what he suddenly wanted the salt workers to do, he also named the salt workers in Sichuan, and he was still touching it in his heart. How did Australians know that there were salt wells underground in this area? But Guangdong itself is a salt-producing area, and it is not beneficial to drill more wells. Not to mention the problem of the government. But he's used to the way Australians are crazy, unconventional, and play cards. They also know what they want to do, and they will do it as much as they spend. Immediately he sent his men to do it,
Another problem that Zhang Xingpei encountered was that modern public buildings, including restaurants, bathhouses, museums, etc., mostly rely on artificial lighting, and relatively little consideration is given to natural lighting. Modern lighting was not possible, and candles, oil lamps and other devices could easily cause fires, so natural light had to be used throughout the design process, for which he made extravagant use of glass and skylights on the roof. Even glass tiles are used on some roofs to enhance light transmission.
"It's extremely environmentally friendly." Zhang Xingpei looked at his design drawings quite complacently, and the lighting was simply everything.
"Maybe everyone will come to buy glass windows when they see that the effect of glass as windows is so good." Zhang Xin studied the design drawings for a long time, "I just don't know if the glass factory can guarantee the supply." โ
"No problem." Zhang Xingpei knew that since the expansion of Changhua Fort began, it was a matter of time before a large amount of quartz sand was mined. Moreover, the machinery factory is tackling a major technical transformation project of the glass factory: the automatic blowing system, and the study of blowing glass bottles in batches with compressed air -- once this problem is solved, the output of glass bottles will increase dramatically, not to mention, more skilled workers will be liberated in the production of flat glass.
The various products to be used in Ziming Building are also being trial-produced and put into production on a small scale. What has been identified for inclusion in the Ziming House is kvas, a sparkling drink that has proven popular with the indigenous people in Lingao. Huang Dashan also asked Hu Yicheng to distill some local spices: mint, orange peel and the like, as spices. When reblended, kvass becomes a fruity and vanilla drink.
Leizhou's rum is also in Ziminglou's promotion project. Pure rum is nothing special compared to traditional Chinese distilled liquor, so Pei Lixiu's idea is to sell cocktails, of course, there will be no soda for a while, but adding sugar and juice to rum can still do.
"I think that's a bit feminine." Zhang Xin is good at drinking. After a few glasses of fruit rum, he commented.
"Traditionally, women don't drink alcohol, but if you can attract women to drink too, business will be big......," Ms. Pei said.
"Do you think there will be a woman coming to Ziming Tower?" Guo Yi said angrily.
"How could it not be? Life in the mansion is also empty and lonely......"
Pei Lixiu's idea is to make a women's salon or something, talk about poetry, engage in literature, and chant poetry.
"Okay, you can think of it, but who can you attract? Obviously, there are only characters such as famous prostitutes. Women from good families will not come to your salon......"
"It's not bad if a famous prostitute is willing to participate." Zhang Xin said, "The first is that it has gathered popularity for us, and it is also a celebrity effect." Besides, it's easier to use what is available than to cultivate it yourself, and there is no war of words-"
The so-called dispute of words naturally refers to the 500 people in Lingao, and for the sake of the issue of slave ownership, the Lingao Times has published several issues of different views, supporting the abolition of slavery and slave storage with their own opinions, and naturally there are also people who play soy sauce and thin mud.
Ziminglou's search for young women in Guangzhou to prepare for the training of massage girls and dancers has been questioned by many people, especially Du Wen, who has continuously written articles in Lingao Times, strongly criticizing this kind of "perverse behavior" and "turning back the wheel of history", and reminding everyone to be vigilant against the "resurgence of feudal ideas that play with women...... However, she contacted Li Mei in an attempt to publish a protest in the name of the Women's Federation, which Li Mei was very interested in and had long wanted to create a similar entertainment gathering in Lingao.
"Second, the social influence of famous prostitutes in the late Ming Dynasty was very great, whether it was to sell goods, or to influence certain officials and gentry, and to inquire about news, they all had a natural advantage - think of Qin Huai Bayan. Moreover, many dignitaries and nobles in this time and space love to marry famous prostitutes as little wives, and the sisterhood between them is also something we can take advantage of. โ
"Give it a try." Guo Yi nodded, turned to Pei Lixiu and said, "If you have this idea, most likely you already have a suitable salon object." โ
"Of course," Pei Lixiu smiled. "Sir, you are really as wise as a torch......"
"Okay, okay, don't pour rice soup, let's talk about the situation."
Sure enough, Pei Lixiu has made several sisters in the past few months, basically all of whom are concubines from large families. Among them are the concubines of Dong Jizhong and others who lent money to Guo Yi during the Leizhou Sugar War. These people are full of food all day long, they are all the masters of quietly thinking about recreation, women often move around with each other, Pei Lixiu can speak well, and there are many new things that are not available locally, and they have formed a friendship with Pei Lixiu.
"Well, that's good, at least you can blow the pillow wind when necessary. However, the status of these people is not high, you have to think of making friends with higher levels. โ
"Sister Su said, she has a little sister who is Gao Qinshun's concubine, I have heard about the benefits of Australian goods, if it weren't for the recent demolition and renovation of Ziming Building, I would like to come and see it these days."
The name Gao Qinshun Guo Yi and others all know that he is the governor of Guangdong, although he is only an official of the seventh grade, but he is the supervisor of the imperial history, and he is also a figure who calls for wind and rain in the local area. Knowing what he was thinking in bed would naturally be of great benefit to intelligence work.
"Okay, you can follow up on this. Gotta get her done! โ
"This is something I want, can the proprietor do me a little favor......" Pei Lixiu's eyes were like silk, and she handed over a piece of paper.
Zhang Xin's attempt to get a refrigerator in Lingao failed completely - not to mention that the refrigerator is the most important equipment at this stage, and even if he could have a refrigerator, the Guangzhou station would lack enough power to drive it. A few solar panels plus a foot-operated generator are just as much as they can be used for radio stations and computers.
Of course, Daming also has a method of refrigeration, which is to use water wells, and the temperature under the well can be maintained at more than 20 degrees. Generally, the freshness is barely enough. But there is no ice cube in the well, and there is no ice cube, and there is no hope for the cold drinks such as juice shaved ice, ice cream, and popsicles proposed by Pei Lixiu -- the wealthy and special families in Guangzhou have private ice cellars that hide homemade ice cubes in winter. But the vast majority of people don't have it. Zhang Xin wrote N letters to Mo Xiao'an asking him to help solve this problem. The meaning and benefits of this thing. Mo Xiao'an was disturbed by him, so he had to go to Zhan Wuya.
"It's not that I don't want to build a refrigerator, everyone is comfortable with this thing." Zhan Wuya sits in the office of a machine factory with a temperature of up to 40 degrees, and outside is a tall truss-like factory. The heating furnace emits a huge amount of heat, the roar of the machine, the rotation of the motor, and the loud noise of the steel during blanking and stamping, making the whole environment extremely hot. Several high-powered blower fans made by the machine factories blew from the door with a strong wind that could almost knock people down - but unfortunately it was hot.
"If I didn't have an air conditioner-" Mo Xiaoan knew that air conditioning was actually easy to solve, the pharmaceutical factory installed that set of ground air conditioners, and the response was quite good after operation, if it wasn't for the cost of too much copper, and the deep wells had to be dug, maybe it would have been popularized long ago. It was precisely because of this factor that the air conditioner in the renovation of Ziminglou was put on hold for the time being -- the Planning Commission demanded that Ziminglou solve the problems of copper and digging deep wells by itself. Now we can only ask to wait for the salt workers from Sichuan to come.
"Ice machine, this is even more difficult-" Zhan Wuya shrugged his shoulders, "There is no high-power compressor, no refrigerant, what kind of ice can be used." Even if I can build it in Guangzhou, are you going to install a generator for them first? โ
"That's right." Mo Xiao'an thought about it, it's really hard to do this thing without electricity, "There's no way to do it?" โ
"The way is to get it, to be honest, it's very primitive and it's not very economical." Zhan Wuya said, "There is one thing that must be confirmed first: can the animal power machine that Wang Luobin is going to build there reach 1.5KW?" โ
"One animal-powered machine is a little more than 1 horsepower, and two fully turned on is more than 2 horsepower. That's enough. โ
Zhan Wuya nodded, dialed a phone call to the Planning Commission, and he mentioned "an air conditioner" on the phone, as if he was applying to use this air conditioner. Mo Xiaoan waited for a few minutes, and Zhan Wuya hung up the phone:
"No problem, the Governor agreed. Let's see again in a few days. โ
"Can you make it?"
"I'm not sure yet." Zhan Wuya laughed, "One of my earth-law ideas has not been verified by Jishu, and it depends on the effect after it is actually manufactured." โ
After sending Mo Xiao'an away, Zhan Wuya dug out a pack of big red eagles from his lock haode drawer, carefully took out one, sniffed and pinched it in his hand and played with it for a while before lighting it and taking a sip.
At present, in order to meet the urgent needs of Guangzhou Station. What Zhan Wuya is going to do is a kind of local method "animal compression refrigerator" designed by him. He immediately called Liang Xin, who was temporarily idle in the machinery factory and had nothing to do. The two men took the wrench tools to the exclusive warehouse of the CWI.
Although it is a warehouse of the Industrial and Energy Commission, everything in it is under the absolute management of the Planning Commission, and every pliers, hammer, and screwdriver is registered and registered, and the responsibility is assigned to the person. Damage or loss must be reported. The management is extremely strict.
The warehouse is stacked with all kinds of tools and accessories from the machine shop, all packed in boxes and hung with labels and warehousing orders. Walking to the innermost part, there was a pile of tightly wrapped objects in tarpaulin, which looked like a machine.
When I took it apart, it was an air conditioner, rusty, and it didn't look like it was going to look good.
This air conditioner was dismantled from the flat deck self-propelled barge, and it was in a state of obsolescence at that time - it was not a professional marine air conditioner, it was just an ordinary 1.5KW household wall-mounted air conditioner, which was bought by the crew themselves to create a comfortable environment. The air conditioner, which had been left in the corner of the engine room, was rusted and no longer cooled, and when the Planning Commission collected materials, it was registered and accepted in accordance with the concept that "there is no waste in the 21 st century."
Two people used a trolley to pull the air conditioner into the workshop, opened the outer cover and dismantled it, removed the air conditioning compressor inside, and then removed the evaporator of the air conditioner.
"Why don't you use a gas refrigerator instead of going through the hassle?" Liang Xin was puzzled.
"Of course, the gas refrigerator is good, but we are still not qualified to build a household level. In addition, the gas refrigerator has to be equipped with a gas generator, to be honest, I don't feel very comfortable to use it in Ziming Building. We still have weaknesses in the production of gas matching pipes, valves and seals. โ
The gas stove used in Lingao is basically located far away from the crowd, and the stove is in charge of a special person, ventilated on all sides, and the safety is somewhat better. The Ziming Building is densely populated, and in case of a leak, it is a tragedy whether it is an explosion or poisoning.
After short-circuiting the compressor clutch, the compressor actually started. After connecting the condenser, throttle valve and evaporator he made himself, a simple refrigeration system came out.
Pure green and environmentally friendly animal-powered ice machine - of course, the effect will be better if there is an electric motor or other power machine.
Then there's the refrigerant. The freon in the broken air conditioner is long gone. Where to find this refrigerant? Zhan Wuya suddenly realized that he had neglected this crucial issue. zuihou thought that although Ma Qianzhu didn't bring a gun to this time and space, there were several gas dogs, and the gas dogs were not used F12? That's a good refrigerant!
However, the gas dog is his private property, and building a small ice machine is not a matter of life and death or industrial upgrading, and it is not easy to say that he will contribute to the F12. It seems that he has no choice but to come to material temptation - Zhan Wuya suddenly felt that he was wronged: this thing was not made for his own use, why should he pay for materials out of his own pocket.
However, the allure of the equipment is too great, and it is not uncommon to look at the drawings to make things, and this kind of challenging work is interesting.
Back in the office, gritted his teeth and took out a boutique red eagle from the drawer, opened it and took two packs, thought about it, put back another pack, and only took one pack to find Ma Qianzhu.
Note: The copyright of the ice machine belongs to the temporary crow, whether it can be used is not known. The original text is driven by a bicycle, and he himself explained that the output power of the KAO bicycle cannot drive the compressor
