80 years to the department "Refrigerated and cryogenic technology, air conditioning and life support" MSTU Il N. E. Bauman

In 1920, the department of refrigeration machines was founded in M. Tu, which began to prepare diplomated cold-bearing engineers. However, 10 years before, at the initiative of Professor I. and. Kon Kolkhny for students of the mechanical department of the school (then the Imperial Moscow* Technical School - TU TU) introduced lectures on compressors, blizzards and refrigerators and us. Then in Russia there were only 38 refrigerated units, but the future need for specialist Kholodilchiki was predicted correctly, and even in 1914, the first cold laboratory in Russia was organized in Russia. Practical classes in it are conducted by its organizer, Vladimir Evgenievich Ji Ki K, a graduate and m of TU 1911, sent in 1912 by a scholarship holder to Germany to prepare for teaching activities in refrigeration equipment.
