PREVENTING SPREADER-ROOM FIRES. 



THE spreader and churn rooms of modern rubber mills 

 are equipped with machinery that absorbs much static 

 electricity. When the natural humidity falls below 40 per 

 cent, the naphtha vapors are extremely liable to become 

 ignited by a static spark and cause a disastrous fire. An 

 artificial humidifying instrument that will raise the moisture 

 content of the air to the point of safety is therefore interesting, 

 and is here illustrated. This instrument is adjustable to any 

 desired relative humidity and is extremely sensitive.

 enters the liasi- of tlie casing and passes succc.-isively over the 

 dry and wet I)ulbs, up througli the aspirator intake, to the 

 condensation chamber. 



The humidifier supersaturates this continuous sample of 

 air, which then passes through the aspirator outlet, leaving 

 behind it an excess of unevaporated water at the hygrometric 

 wet bulb temperature. This water trickles down through the 

 drip outlet upon the upper end of the wet bulb, which is sur- 

 rounded by a linen mantle. The slight evaporation from this 

 mantle due to the air current, insures the continuance of the 

 hygrometric temperature. 



The lower ends of both thermostatic members are secured 

 to brackets, and internal rods of non-e.xpansible metal con- 

 nect their upper ends with the outer ends of the operating 

 lever. Therefore, any change in the relative length of the 

 two thermostatic members will slightly rock the lever, thus 

 bringing it in or out of contact with the pilot valve lever. This 

 pressure raises the upper end of the lever from a small pilot 

 valve seat, permitting the escape of air from the relay valve 

 diaphragm, which operates the humidifier valves that arc 

 attached to the overhead air and water pipes. 



Air for operation is taken from any convenient main, 

 through a special filter, and then to the frame of the instru- 

 ment, whence a portion is diverte I through a stop valve for 

 the humidifier. [G. M. Parks Co Fitchburg, Massachusetts.]
