Gas Regulators.

The fact that gas in general use for illumi
nation, is in many instances manufactured
miles from its place OF consumption, and i:
carried thence through subterranean pipes, al
once suggests the idea OF an immense force OF
pressure to cause it to find its way through
every branch pipe, however diminutive or dis
tant, to the aperture OF the burner where
light is required. Gas being lighter than the
atmosphere, places of the greatest altitude
will have the greatest pressure Hence the
pressure necessary to carry 1t { consumers of
the lowest altitude, will be largely in excess
for those of higher localities.
Coal gas contains two acknowledgement
and carbon. Hydrogen on combustion pro-
duces great heat and little light. Carbon
being the luminous and less combustible ele-
ment, requires some continuance of the burn
ing hydrogen to raise 1t to white heat or its
greatest luminosity. Prof. Horsford of Har-
ward University, in writing on this subject,
says: when the gas rushes from burner
under high pressure, it mixes quickly with the
air, and is consumed without time being given
for the carbon to be luminous"
The pressure under which gas is burned
with the most economy, is four to six tenths
OF an inch. The average street pressure is
considerable above two inches; which fact
will at once show the immense excess Of con-
sumption, more than is required for light, II
properly regulated. The street pressure being
constantly variable, necessitates care at first
lighting, to avoid waste; also further attention
as the evening advances, and the pressure is
increased by the extinguishing of neighboriBg
lights, to turn of part either at the meter or
burners.
These facts strongly indicate the necessity
of an instrument which will make the pres
sure uniform at the point OF consumption,
namely the burner tip, and graduate it as
desired.
When the above poiRts are accomplished
and we have occular demonstration that they
are-in the new Gas Regulator, now on exhi-
bition at l6l Middle street, up stairs--there'
can undoubtedly be saved to consumers full
80 per cent Of their gas bills, while they are
sure TO obtain a full and brilliant light beyond
any thing we have yet seen. We have the
Regulator now 10 use In our office, and il
seems TO US to be fully up TO the standard
recommended in our exchanges everywhere,
and the low price at which il is afforded, must
place 1t within the reach of all. See adver-
tisement for an exclusive agent, in another
column.
