SUPPLY TANK TOO LOW. 



I have a regular steam boiler, but use 

 hot water. I wish to get your advice in 

 regard to a change in the vent pipe. I 

 used the system last year, but whenever 

 the water would get a li±tle too hot it 

 would blow half the water out of the 

 boiler before it would stop. With the 

 vent as it now is, this sometimes broke 

 glass for me, and I want to know if I 

 can put the vent on the steam dome of 

 the boiler and get good results. I will 

 inclose a rough outline of the system. 



S. E. L. 



From the diagram and from what you 

 say I infer that your supply tank is only 

 slightly higher than the high point in the 

 system. The plan is all right, but the 

 supply tank or expansion tank should be 

 twelve or fifteen feet higher and of am- 

 ple size to provide for the overflow, so 

 that when the water in the system cools 

 down the pipes will remain full. Run 

 the pipe outside and above the green- 

 liouses and slied, if necessary, and give it 

 protection from frost by inclosing it 

 with proper material. L. C. C.

Steam Heating on an 

 Economical Vacuum Principle 



The Simonda Automatic Vacuum VaWe haa 



MANY advantag^ea over any other vacuum 



valve in the world. 



Tlilnk of a /^-inch valve with a ^-incb clear discharge opening 

 under the valve. They won't easily elos with dirt or rust, will they? 



Of an air discbarKe valve above the water line and tlBht on its 

 Beat, except while water discharge valve is open. Can't waste steam 

 when not open, can it? 



Of an adjustment to this air discharge valve that allows of reduc- 

 ing the discharge to a pin point. Won't waste steam when discharg- 

 ing, will it? 



Of no arulde \7lnas or pins under water discharge valve. 



01 an allowance for adjustinir both valves on their 

 seats after all is heated up, and expansion has taken 

 place. 



Pretty near the correct principle, ain't it? 

 Our Compound Vacuum Steam Heating System com- 

 bines with the valve to secure the highest economy in 

 steam, and complete circulation in even the largest 

 heating areas.
