PUBRICO Makes Air Tight 

 Furnace Linings 



Air leaks ia furnace lining joints, boiler settings 

 and baffles are the greatest preventable losses in 

 a boiler plant. No argument should be » ecessary 

 to establish the fact that An Air Tight Furnace 

 Lining is a great fuel economizer.

other houses if there is no glass in the 

 side walls, use three 3-inch flow pipes in 

 each house and connect each of these 

 flow pipes with three 2-inch returns lo- 

 cated under the benches. 



Only 1,000 square feet of radiation 

 will be required in each of the four 

 houses and a heater rated for from 4,000 

 to 6,000 square feet should be able to 

 handle the range. The extra amount of 

 radiation which the boiler in question 

 might supply would not be objection- 

 able and it might be used to heat one 

 or two additional houses if desired. 



AIR JET FOE OIL HEATING. 



In a recent article on heating with 

 oil it was stated that it would be nec- 

 essary to provide either a steam or a 

 compressed air jet for spraying the 

 oil into the fire box. How much pres- 

 sure will be needed for the spray? I 

 carry ten pounds pressure on my water 

 system and could do the same on an oil 

 system if that pressure is enough. 



J. S. P.— Mass. 



The object of the steam or compressed 

 air jet is to spray the oil into the fire 

 pot. The pressure needed will depend 

 upon the kind of burner and the size of 

 the fire pot. While a 10-pound steam 

 or air pressure would answer for a small 

 boiler, forty pounds would be desirable 

 for a large boiler. 



It might be possible to devise a jet 

 in which water under pressure could 

 be used to produce the spray, but it 

 would be necessary to use a high pres- 

 sure and water under pressure in a heat- 

 ing system would not answer, as the

pressure would need to be uniform and 

 when the jet is turned on the pressure 

 would quickly drop. If possible at all, 

 a high-pressure water system and a 

 special burner would be required and, 

 when steam is not available, compressed 

 air, furnished by electric power, should 

 be used.
