Synopsis
Excerpt from Warming Buildings by Hot Water: A Practical Treatise Upon Warming Industrial and Residential Buildings, Places of Worship and Horticultural Glass-Houses, Heating Drying-Rooms, Also Warming by Direct-Indirect and Indirect Methods, Embracing All Low-Pressure Gravity and Accelerated System
Another early Chapter is devoted to a fully detailed description of the parts of a simple form of hot water apparatus, this being given with the view to enabling a student to read the matter up from its elementary begin ning. Failing this the book might be considered as more suitable for fitters of some experience but, as stated, the idea has been to include an elementary Chapter for the beginner.
Amongst other details is included what is new in a treatise on this subject, Viz., information, and a table, enabling heat ing installations to be tested in any winter temperature other than that which figures in the guarantee embodied in a contract. This was the substance of a paper read by the author before the Institution of Heating and Ventilating Engineers and which gained their medal.
