Carl Munters (1897-1989), a Swedish inventor and entrepreneur who, along with Baltzar von Platen (1898-1984), developed a greatly improved absorption technology based on the single pressure ammonia/water hydrogen cycle (1922). This technology, which Munters and von Platen developed while engineering students at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, came to be the basis for modern refrigeration technology. Their refrigeration machine employed a heat source that initiated the process that could be fueled by electricity, gas, or kerosene, making the system extremely flexible.
