Alexander C. Kirk (1830 - 1892) was an engineer responsible for several major innovations in the shipbuilding, refrigeration, and oil shale industries of the 19th century. Alexander C. Kirk Kirk, born in Forfarshire, Scotland, received his formal education at the University of Edinburgh[1] and a technical education at plants operated by Robert Napier.[2] During his subsequent employment at an oil shale plant dedicated to producing paraffin, he developed a refrigeration technology, involving the delivery of ether, to address production problems stemming from summer heat.[2][1][3] In 1870 he was appointed manager of the John C. Elder engineering works. After returning to the Napier firm as a senior partner in 1877, his work was thereafter focused on marine engineering. His triple-expansion engines as designed for the steamship Propontis were unsuccessful, but his subsequent versions of the engine design, particularly those designed for the steamship Aberdeen, are credited as technological breakthroughs.[2] References ^ a b Peter L.
