For the transport of fruit from the Fraser and Okanagan districts

aa
ae
ae in British Columbia, the Canadian National Express has developed and
Pea placed in service a new type of air-cooled fruit car. While this method

meet does not develop as low a temperature as ice, the process is more natural
SG and fruit does not deteriorate as quickly when removed to the warmer
outside temperature. 1
The cars are ordinary baggage or express merchandise cars, 60 feet
long, which have been equipped with special ventilating devices, con-
sisting in part of ten metal air intakes and channels placed in a stag-
gered position, five on each side of the car, to carry outside air while
the train is in motion, through the channel into a chamber under a racked
false flooring. There are also eight metal air exhausts, staggered four
ae ~ on each side, which carry off the gases and foul or warm air thrown off ae
f by the fruit and vegetables. The intakes and exhausts lead to the out-
F side of the car. The intakes are so arranged that they bring cool air
y _~ Into the car irrespective of the direction in which the car is moving.
fy "el Tests of an empty car showed that the ear exhausted 292,590 cubic
4 feet of air per hour, which is equivalent to changing all the air in the
=} ear every 68 seconds. A car loaded with 800 crates of radishes with the
i tops on, asparagus and spinach, exhausted 168,360 cubic feet of air per
hour, or a complete change of air in the car.every 101 seconds. Thermo-
graphs in this car showed the inside temperature to range from 58, 54
and 56 degrees, while the outside temperature ranged from 78, 58 and
56 degrees. Another test carried out with 1,200 crates of the same
traffic showed a complete change of air every 87 seconds and tempera- -
ee. ture readings inside the car of 60, 68 and 60 degrees and outside read-
ings of 90, 84, and 68. degrees,
' Another feature is that since the intake devices come in under the
false floor, any dust or cinders that may enter the channels remain on
_ the bottom and are not blown on the fruit, which arrives as clean and as
, fresh as when it left its shipping point. The photograph shows an in-
terior and exterior view of the new car. Eg
