REFRIGERATION COMPRESSERS

04/18/2008 9:29 PM

HI GUYS I AM LOOKING FOR AN OLD PHOTO OF A COMPRESSER THAT WAS MADE BY HAMMERTONG I THINK THAT WAS THE NAME OR I COULD HAVE BEEN HAMMERTITE OR SOMTING LIKE THAT .This compressor that i remember was a marvelous looking contraption with heads sticking out the side and suction and discharge pipes that you could change around to make a compound compressor or just a normal compressor .When i saw this unit i am shore it was running on sulpher so you can imagine it was a long time ago and help would be great in finding a photo of this compressor, thanking you ,Peter Evans aussiviking

Look here for examples so you can guide us more into the direction of what you are looking for.

See you back soon, I will keep looking for you as well but cannot find anything remotely by that name.

Some more here.

I know most are engines but that is often what a compressor is anyway, an engine without the fuel.

They didn't call the steam era a romantic period for nothing. I'm all for promoting the romance.

Ah, missed that.

I did not even realise that it was on Long Island. I have never been there so you kind of don't connect.

Maybe me being very ignorant but where from L.I. is the Statue of Liberty? North or south. I looked at some maps via multimap.com but the old lady was not shown there.

Liberty Island is in the Hudson river between Manhattan Island and New Jersey. My first time there is when I was living in Pa. eventhough I was born and raised in N.Y.. The East river separates the five Burroughs (kind of) from Manhattan. The L.I. sound and great south bay divide Long island from the five Borroughs. As one can tell, some great fishing here. The end refers to the far-most point east of Long Island or where the L.I. rail road ends.

Some things are the same wherever you go. I spotted the coalition against mindless growth of the local airport, big issue here as well with several airports growing all the time for what reason? Money and nothing else.

Sorry, went off on a tangent. Nice to learn some local stuff from far away sometimes. I do hope I will get there sometimes but with my current situation I don't see it soon I think.

We, or maybe only me, from far away always associate New York, and all that lays around it, as a busy bustling city with no end. Long Island looks a nice place which is far removed from all of that. Never thought that. Learn every day, thanks.
