Charles Tellier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Tellier (1828–1913) was a French engineer, born in Amiens. He early made a study of motors and compressed air. In 1868 he began experiments in refrigeration, which resulted ultimately in the refrigerating plant as used on ocean vessels, to preserve meats and other perishable food. In 1911 Tellier was awarded the Joest prize by the French Institute and in 1912 he was made Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. He wrote Histoire d'une invention moderne, le frigorifique (1910). Tellier died of hunger in Paris.[1]
