ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY……. On 12th December 1871, Andrew Muhl was granted a patent for an Ice Maker. He was a native of France studied mechanics in Paris. He was a contemporary of Ferdinand Carré, who invented the ammonia vapor absorption cycle manufacturing machine in 1858. It is believed that Muhl learned how to work on that machine and began developing his own ether ice machine there.  #industrialrefrigeration #gonatrefs #refrigeration
