  • The First Refrigeration

    The First Refrigeration
    The first form of artificial refrigeration was invented by William Cullen, a Scottish scientist. Cullen showed how the rapid heating of liquid to a gas can result in cooling. Cullen used a pump to create a partial vacuum over a container of diethyl ether, which then boiled, absorbing heat from the surroundings. Cullen's invention was not used for any practical purpose. In 1805 an American inventor, Oliver Evans, designed a blueprint for the first refrigeration machine.
