Brine rejection that drains from the newly formed ice is replaced by a weak flow of relatively fresh water, from the liquid region below it. The new water partially freezes within the pores of the ice, increasing the solidity of the ice. As sea ice ages and thickens, the initial salinity of the ice decreases due to the rejection of brine over time [Fig. 2]. While the sea ice ages, desalinization occurs to such a degree that some multiyear ice has a salinity of less than 1 PSU. This occurs in three different ways: Brine rejection occurs in the sea ice packs
New England Sports Center of six) are Cimco Lewis model C6-WO6A compressors. There are two evaporative cooling towers at the rear of the building. The evaporative cooling towers are Evapco model LSCA430; the towers were replaced for the first time in August 2009. In simple terms, the ammonia portion of the system functions like an oversized household refrigerator. The brine passes through the "refrigerator" and is cooled to well below the freezing point of fresh water - but the brine does not freeze because it's not fresh water, it's salt water (calcium chloride as opposed to the more commonly known sodium chloride). When the
