Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a deep dive into the theory and practice of warming buildings using hot-water circulation. Written for practical men who have risen to the position of foreman, superintendent, or proprietor, the author endeavors to speak to them in a way they will understand, using familiar terms and illustrative examples. The author begins by addressing the importance of distributing water equally throughout the branches of a system and offers a method of determining the diameters and lengths for any stated duty or loss of temperature, ensuring both a practically equal resistance to the flow of water and an equal distribution of heat. The book then delves into the cause of motion in the pipes of a hot-water apparatus and shares the differing opinions of Mr. Tredgold and Mr. Hood. Diagrams and tables summarize the requirements for specific conditions of practice and offer formulas to calculate gallons of water that will pass through a short pipe when pressure or velocity is known. The author emphasizes the importance of considering the loss of heat from the air of rooms through walls and windows and offers insights into heat loss from indirect coils. The book concludes with an examination of the various systems of piping used in hot-water heating, the boilers used, the different types of radiators, and the special fittings, valves, and air traps used in hot-water apparatus.
