Abstract
  • An apparatus was designed to permit freezing tests of needles and other tissue parts from coniferous trees under controlled rates of temperature change with time. The design is based on the principle of a balanced system of refrigeration demand and heat input to achieve a steady temperature state. The apparatus permits the operator to decrease temperatures from 0°C to -40°C at rates of 1, 2, 3, or 4°C per hour, to hold temperatures at the desired freezing level from 1 to 24 hours, and to increase to 0°C at rates of 1, 2, 3, or 4°C per hour. Temperatures achieved within the sample tubes are accurate to within ± 0. 9°C of the expected temperature.
