THERMA* STOR A SUCCESS STORY
A WINNING PRODUCT is DECO's Therma-Stor
heat recovery system. The product was selected
as one of the 10 best new products developed
by Wisconsin industry in 1976. A contest was
sponsored by the Wisconsin Governor’s office
and the National Society of Professional
Engineers. Shown receiving the award from
Governor Patrick J. Lucey, left, is DECO's Ken
Gehring, Therma-Stor product manager.

Heat Recovery System (HRS)
Designed to fit any existing system,
the THERMA»STOR HRS is the
ultimate example of energy
conservation.
The THERMA-STOR HRS will
produce all of your dairy hot water
needs, without the use of electricity
or fuel.

THERMA-STOR collects heat from a bulk milk cooler on a dairy farm and uses it to heat water for
washing around the milk house and milking parlor. As such, it saves a great deal of energy for dairy
farmers. Shown preparing to weld the top on a Therma-Stor unit is Jim Miller.
TESTING FOR LEAKS is a crucial and exacting
chore in the production of Therma-Stor units.
First the tank is filled with nitrogen under 750
lbs. of pressure and covered with a soap
solution. If no leaks are discovered m that way,
the nitrogen is taken out and freon substituted.
Then a machine, operated in the photo by Jeff
Larson, is used to discover even the tiniest
freon leak.
Conventional cooling systems use
fan cooled condensers to remove the
refrigerant heat. This wasted heat can
now be saved with the use of the
THERMA*STOR HRS. By replacing the
fan cooled condensers wjth a
THERM A*STOR, the heat from the hot
refrigerant is transferred to cold water,
which in turn becomes hot water. This
process will heat about 1 gallon of
water to about 110° for every gallon of
milk being cooled. In addition, the
THERMA»STOR produces and stores
1/3 of its capacity in Hot Water from
150° to 190°. (The precise temperature
of water reached in this section is
dependent upon total compressor H P
and running time, see Chart for more
details).

The THERMA*STOR HRS is
available in two sizes: a single
condenser, 100 gallon; or as a dual
condenser, 170 gallon model. Both
come equipped with male Areo-Quip
fittings for use on existing systems or
for use with a Tecumseh or Heavy-
Duty Copelametic compressor
Water does not go through the com
pressor. The water is heated by the
refrigerant gas from the compressor. Your
existing compressor can remain outside.

Angus

record
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. - Angus
breeders registered 264,620
head of purebred Angus
cattle in the 1977 Angus
fiscal year, up more than
36,000 head from 1976,
reports Lloyd D. Miller,
executive secretary of the
American Angus
Association.
“The nearly 16 per cent
increase for the year ended
September 30, is the largest
annual percentage increase
m registrations in the history
of the American Angus
Association,” Miller said,
“and represents renewed
faith in the future of the
cattle business by a majority
of our members. This
growing optimism has been
particularly obvious the last
few months,Miller em
phasized. “Registrations for
the month of August were up
24.86 per cent and in Sep
tember, registrations
showed a 29.11 per cent in
crease over the same month
a year earlier.”
Transfers of registered
Angus were 158,165 head.
This was down 14 per cent
from last year, but still
represents the sale of nearly
70 per cent of all cattle that
were recorded in 1976.
During the fiscal year,
2,537 new life members and
1,355 junior members joined
the American Angus
Association. This is down
some 12 per cent and 4 per
cent respectively, but
represents the starting of a
large number of new Angus
herds m this low year in the
beef cattle cycle.
On the last day of
processing of the fiscal year,
the nine millionth animal
was added to the American
Angus Association herd
book. The number 9,000,000
has been set aside and will
be awarded to the grand
champion Angus bull at the
1977 North American
Livestock Exposition,
November 15 in Louisville,
Kentucky.
Registration number
1.000. was not reached
until 1947, some 64 years
after the founding of the
American Angus
Association. The second
million animals were
recorded by 1954 and
registration number
4.000. was not reached
until 1963. This means that
more than half of the 9
million animals recorded in
the American Angus
Association herd book (5
million head of bulls and
heifers) have been added m
the last 14 years.
