FRANK J. DEAN JR.
1911 - 2000

Frank J. Dean Jr. received a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Princeton and a Masters degree from  MIT in Mechanical Engineering.   
     
Considered “an HVAC systems thinker,” Mr. Dean conceptualized and implemented an overall method of designing and installing air-conditioning systems that provided a unique combination of low first cost and low energy cost without sacrificing high quality. His designs also provided for quietness, durability and low maintenance.
           
Among his innovative concepts was the development of a computerized air-conditioning system simulation program using weather data together with detailed equipment and systems modeling. These programs were installed in the Kansas City Board of Trade Building in 1966 and continue to perform satisfactorily today.
           
Mr. Dean was one of the first installers of variable-air-volume (VAV) systems and stands out in perfecting the total system concept. It is estimated that nearly 70 percent of large commercial air-conditioning systems in the United States today use the VAV system in some form.
           
He formed the Temperature Industries Corp. along with subsidiary companies, Temperature Engineering, Tempmaster, Viron and Wattmaster. Temperature Engineering designed, installed, and serviced air conditioning systems in Kansas City and Detroit. The Tempmaster Corp. manufactured a line of commercial VAV air distribution products and air handling equipment. The Viron Corp. providing management consulting services, and the Wattmaster Corp. manufactured building automation control systems, all as a complement to Tempmaster equipment. The five companies worked together to pioneer cutting edge design, manufacturing and energy management systems solutions for the commercial HVAC marketplace.
           
Mr. Dean and his employees were granted more than 20 patents. Major HVAC equipment manufacturers in the U.S. have successfully adopted many of the air-conditioning technologies and designs that Dean conceived and developed.
          
Mr. Dean died in 2000 at the age of 89.

JOHN ENGALITCHEFF, JR. was born in Moscow, Russia. He received a special scholarship from Johns Hopkins University and graduated as a Mechanical Engineer in 1930. In 1938, Mr. Engalitcheff founded the Baltimore Aircoil Company, which began producing finned coils and ultimately developed a "blow through" evaporative condenser. In the ensuing years, the company developed packaged "blow through" evaporative condensers and cooling towers, V-Line cooling towers and condensers, and the Ejector cooling tower. John Engalitcheff held 47 patents on heating and air conditioning equipment. His work in the field of evaporative heat transfer made possible compact energy efficient cooling towers and evaporative condensers, which led to the displacement of water wasteful once-through systems and provided an alternative to dry cooling systems. He was truly a pioneer and innovator in the air conditioning industry. Mr. Engalitcheff received ASHRAE's Distinguished Service Award in 1963, became a Life Member in 1972, an ASHRAE Fellow in 1977, and received the F. Paul Anderson Award in 1981. Mr. Engalitcheff died in 1984, just three days after personally receiving the Presidential Eagle Pin from President Ronald Reagan for his contributions and involvement in "Peace Through Strength" strategy of the American Security Council. John Engalitcheff, Jr. was inducted into the ASHRAE Hall of Fame on June 22, 1996 at the Society's 1996 Annual Meeting in San Antonio, Texas.

PAVEL OLE FANGER

HENRY L. GALSON was born in Vienna, Austria in the year 1900 and died in 1963. The HVAC&R profession suffered a great loss at his untimely passing, at age 63. He was drafted into the Austrian army during World War I at the age of 17 and was appointed a commissioned officer after only six weeks of basic training. He served in Russia and Italy. He became an ASHRAE member in 1935. From 1925 through 1963, he actively pursued inventions, development, and designs for the HVAC&R profession. During this period he received 15 patents for unique design and development of HVAC&R apparatus and was a pioneer in developing self-contained air conditioning equipment and the technical background necessary for the development of heat pumps. In 1933 Mr. Galson was the co-recipient of the prestigious John Scott Medal for Scientific Achievement, awarded by the Philadelphia Franklin Institute for his seminal development of the self-contained air conditioning unit. This was an exemplary honor at that time for an engineer with only eleven years of professional practice experience. During World War II he developed an aircraft spot cooler for the U.S. Air Force suitable for desert warfare, and an anti-submarine weapon, the Hedgehog, which destroyed some 300 German U-boats. By 1946, he had become an independent consultant, designing the first truly mass-produced unitary air conditioner for the Fedders-Quigan and Rheem Corporations. His designs included window units, food dispensing equipment requiring refrigeration, residential heating and cooling equipment and packaged air conditioners with up to fifteen-ton capacity. The ASHRAE Centennial Series published in 1994-95 has a more detailed account of Mr. Galson’s achievements than can be expressed in this nomination letter. His pioneering efforts were seminal to the development of self-contained air conditioning and heat pump equipment. He deserves to be classified among the giants of HVAC&R for his contributions in just 41 years of active engineering practice. Mr. Henry L. Galson was inducted into the ASHRAE Hall of Fame at the Society’s 2005 Winter Meeting.

In 1998, MILTON GARLAND was honored as the nation's oldest worker, having begun his career in 1920 at the Frick Co., now part of York International. He was known as "Mr. Refrigeration" for his work in refrigeration systems for gold mines in South Africa and in the ice cream factories of Philadelphia. Mr. Garland held some 40 patents of refrigeration-related items, ranging from icemakers to screw compressor volume controls. His work in refrigeration aided in the construction of Hoover Dam for which he designed systems to cool the water, sand and rock used to make the concrete to build it. At ASHRAE's Centennial Meeting in 1995, Mr. Garland was recognized as a pioneer in technology. In 1989, ASHRAE endowed an award in his honor - the Milton W. Garland Commemorative Refrigeration Award for Project Excellence, which recognizes the designer and owner of a non-comfort cooling refrigeration application that highlights innovation and/or new technologies. He was a recipient of the ASHRAE F. Paul Anderson Award, the Distinguished 50-Year Member Award and the Louise and Bill Holladay Distinguished Fellow Award. In 1996, he received the first Andy Ammonia Award from the International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration for his paper, The Influence of Vapor Pressure in the Condensing Process of the Ammonia Refrigeration Cycle.

Early in his career, Professor Hutchinson had the vision to foresee the need to increase the effectiveness of HVAC&R equipment and wrote papers dealing with improvements in efficiency. In 1945, through the Purdue Housing Research Foundation, he established a solar energy research program. Other research programs included insulation techniques for shipboard transportation of perishables, thermodynamics of refrigeration, and heat transfer in heating and cooling panels. The U.S. State Department sponsored him for four years as a visiting scholar to institutions in Indonesia and India. Professor Hutchinson authored 178 papers and articles which have been published in technical literature of the HVAC&R industry. He also authored and co-authored 14 books dealing with industry subjects. Francis W. Hutchinson was inducted into the ASHRAE Hall of Fame on June 25, 1994 at the Society's 1994 Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida.

MARGARET INGELS was a woman who was a generation before her time. She was a student of F. Paul Anderson and was the first woman to graduate from the University of Kentucky School of Engineering and the second woman to receive an engineering degree in the United States. In addition, she was the first woman in the United States to receive a graduate engineering degree. She received national attention and was invited to the White House, being recognized as one of 100 women whose career choice did not exist 100 years ago. Ms. Ingels worked with F. Paul Anderson at the ASVE laboratory and later became a long time associate of Dr. Willis Carrier. Because of her close association with Dr. Carrier and assignments with Carrier Corporation, she became a great spokeswoman not only for Carrier but for the industry. She captured the interest of many young minds with demonstrations of refrigeration principles and her speeches inspired young people to enter the air conditioning and refrigeration fields. Ms. Ingels was more than just a competent engineer, as her 45 technical publications in various journals attest. She developed the "effective temperature" scale to incorporate humidity and air movement in the equation for human comfort. Outstanding among her writing contributions is her book "The Father of Air Conditioning," which outlined some of the Carrier family history and the life and contributions of Dr. Willis Carrier himself. Margaret Ingels was inducted into the ASHRAE Hall of Fame on June 22, 1996 at the Society's 1996 Annual Meeting in San Antonio, Texas.

CHARLES S. LEOPOLD graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and received a B.S. in electrical engineering in 1917 and E.E. in 1947. In 1923, he founded his own engineering firm and designed such projects as the Pentagon Building, New York Stock Exchange, Madison Square Gardens and the Philadelphia Convention Hall. In 1947, Mr. Leopold became active in the engineering and construction of the largest laboratory built by the Atomic Energy Commission at that time. The mechanical systems for this job were still operating in 1995 as proof of the efficiency of design. The largest panel cooling system to date, based upon his design, was installed in 1998 in a twelve-story office building in Canada. On the basis of the research study and design, other engineers throughout the U.S. and Canada are now applying panel cooling systems to air conditioning. Many engineers were tutored by Mr. Leopold and went on to establish their own nationally recognized firms. In 1946, Mr. Leopold was President and Chairman of the Executive Committee of our predecessor Society, the American Society of Refrigerating Engineers. He was an ASHRAE Fellow, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts of Great Britain, and a recipient of the F. Paul Anderson Award in 1954. The University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering recognized him for his distinguished career as an engineer. Charles S. Leopold was inducted into the ASHRAE Hall of Fame on February 5, 2000 at the Society's 2000 Winter Meeting in Dallas, Texas.

Mary Engle Pennington was born October 8, 1872, and at an early age moved to Philadelphia. She was admitted to the University of Pennsylvania in 1890 and earned her Ph.D. in 1895 under Edgar Fahs Smith. Pennington’s post-graduate work led her to the field of bacteriological chemistry and ultimately to refrigeration engineering. Our current confidence in safe handling, storage, and transportation of foods is due in a large part to her work. In 1898 she accepted a position as Director of the Clinical Laboratory at the Women’s Medical College of Pennsylvania. During this time she also worked as a bacteriologist with the Philadelphia Bureau of Health. She not only carried out scientific studies on the relationship between handling conditions and bacterial levels in milk products, she also used her work to persuade farmers to agree to new procedures that would keep milk products safe for the consumer. In 1905, Ms. Pennington began her long association with the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) as a bacteriological chemist. Her exceptional performance led her to become Chief of the food research laboratory. Because of her thorough and careful work, she was able to define procedures of taking chickens from the slaughterhouse to the consumer. She was a member of ASRE from 1920-1948, and elected Fellow in 1948. She was awarded the Notable Service Medal from President Hoover in 1919, the Garvan medal in 1940, and in 2002 she was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame. During her long career she published more than 30 papers and one book. Ms Pennington died in 1952. Mary Engle Pennington was inducted into the ASHRAE Hall of Fame on January 27, 2007 at the Society’s 2007 Winter Meeting in Dallas, Texas.

RUDOLF PLANK was born on March 6, 1886 in Russia. In 1913, he became a Professor at the Technical University of Danzig and in 1925, a Professor for theoretical engineering at the Technical University of Karlsruhe. After World War II, he became Chancellor of the University. Throughout his professional career, Professor Plank was associated with the Deutsher Kaelte-und Klimatechnischer Verein, DKV (German Society of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning). In 1948, after World War II, he refounded the DKV and served until 1966 when he became Honorary President of the Society. Professor Plank has been described as the grandfather of modern refrigeration in Germany and perhaps in all of Europe. He was the publisher of a twelve volume "Handbuch fur Kaltetechnik" (Handbook for Refrigeration) and authored many papers in the Handbook. He also published a well-known book on "Kalteverdichter" (Compressors in Refrigeration). Professor Plank was one of the early people to discover that the quality of frozen food was enhanced by plunging the temperature rapidly through the freezing range. He experimented with the prediction of freezing time. An equation which bears his name facilitates this calculation (page 9.7 of the 1998 ASHRAE Handbook on Refrigeration), undoubtedly a milestone contribution. He was one of the giants who changed the face of the refrigeration field. Rudolf Plank was inducted into the ASHRAE Hall of Fame on June 23, 2001 at the Society's 2001 Annual Meeting in Cincinnati, Ohio.

REUBEN N. TRANE graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1910 with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. In 1913, he and his father founded The Trane Company in LaCrosse, Wisconsin.
