RE: [CBQ] Re: Brine Tank Question

["Nelson Moyer" <ku0a@mchsi.com>]

Jerry et al.,

As I understand the function of the brine tanks, they were by the A/C system
during station stops in hot climates (like Arizona) when the cars were
stopped, hence the mechanical drive couldn't be used. Exactly how the brine
solution provided cooling remains obscure to me. Maybe one of our A/C
professionals could enlighten us all.

Jerry,
 
Thanks for the more detailed analysis of the information found in the  
Pullman Car Project spreadsheet.  It's amazing all the detail present on
those 
sheets when one learns how to use the key to the abbreviations.   So, yes 
indeed both cars that Nelson is interested in, "New Omaha" and "New
Capitol", 
both had Pullman Mechanical AC systems that did not have brine  tanks.  Now 
all I need to learn is the function of a brine tank in an AC  system.
