—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, Nov. 20, 1976 28 Several cows in the Lebanon County DHIA program surpassed the 900 pound but terfat mark for the month of October, but the highest of them all was a record turned in by No. 55 in the Dale Hostetter and Sons herd. The 6-year old Holstein churned out more than 10 tons of milk, testing 4.6 per cent fat, for a total of 946 pounds of butterfat. DAYS ON TEST _ NAME OF HERD OWNER Glen S. Gingrich Reuben O.

Sellers Willow Maple Farm T T F3 ■ ■ FRB-HBATBR™ EXPLANATION OF THE REVOLUTIONARY NEW MUELLER “FRE-HEATER™” FOR THE DAIRY FARM Bulk milk coolers on modern dairy farms remove heat from the milk promptly after it is produced To accomplish this requires refrigeration machines and they are generally of the air-cooled type. Air-cooled condensing units literally “throw away" this valuable heat On these same farms, large amounts of hot water are need ed for "preppmg” the cows, washing the milk cooler, the pipeline milker, other equipment, and the milking parlor itself. It is also advantageous to heat the cows’ drinking water in winter The Mueller Fre-Heater conserves energy and provides “free” hot water by capturing the heat now wasted! HERE’S HOW IT WORKS Rather than using noisy, dust-creating fans with fragile, dirt collecting air-cooled condensers, the refrigerant is routed to a specially designed condenser/heat exchanger and its heat is transferred to the water A the'rmostatically controlled valve delivers 145° F water to the storage tank In addition to the thermostatic valve, a mixing valve is pro vided to permit “preppmg’’ temperature water Thus, the Fre-Heater delivers two temperatures of water preppmg and washing Tests indicate the Fre-Heater consumes 10% less power than ah air-cooled system . . . and you get Free Hot Water! ELIMINATES REFRIGERATION SERVICE PROBLEMS' The most common causes of slow cooling in bulk milk cooling systems are related to the air-cooled condenser Three things which frequently reduce the efficiency are 1 Poor air circulation and recirculation 2 Fan motor failures 3 Dirty or clogged condenser fins Air-cooled condensing units are generally installed out of doors in order to assure adequate air supply to the con denser This exposes the compressor to extreme ambient temperatures. Starting problems and compressor failures have resulted and air-cooled condenser units are always noisy The Fre-Heater eliminates these problems because • There is no air-cooled condenser • The Fre-Heater is installed indoors • There are no fans to generate noise. • The head pressure is very stable assuring longer compressor life. • There are.no cold weather starting problems, plus ... the Fre-Heater conserve* energy and produces Free Hot Water!
