The equipment will enable undergrad- uate students to gain a working know- ledge of cyrogenic (sub-zero tempera- ture) equipment. The presentation was made by Joe Rutledge, manager of industrial products for the South Wind Division; Fred Haus- halter, manager of engineering, indus- trial products, and Ross Trotman, manager of salaried employment. The special heat exchanger is capable of operating between 150 degrees above zero and 150 degrees below zero.
