Charles Tellier
Charles Tellier in 1912
Charles Tellier (29 June 1828 – 19 October 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]
