The added values derived from the
use Of fuel oil for heating plants in
preference to coal Is demonstrated in
most effective manner in Ardmore
institutions where oil Is being used for
the purpose. At the present time the
Simpson building, Ardmores, finest
structure; the high schools, and the
Hardy sanitarium are being heated in
this manner.
The method Is not new in the
Simpson building, for during the cold
est periods Of the winter Of 1920 and
the early part Of 1921 fuel oil burn
formed to perfectior.
Due to the ingenious methods de-
-ised BY George y. Dressell, manager
Of the Simpson building, there was
not a flaw 10 mar the operation Of
the plant, and, in fact, its continued
use brought about more economic op-
Grafton.
Mechanical Devices
An inspection OF the Simpson build
ing heating plant reveals series Of
mechanical devices which furnish in
themselves an interesting technical
education When the system was first
installed in the building, It was found
that the fuel. which was carried from
250-barrel storage tank in the rear
OF the building to the boiler, was
heavy and at times was most difficult
70 have it Pun freely. In order to
overcome this, Dressell installed a
"superheating" tank which is rect
angular steel box Of three barrels ca
pacity. The oil Is run from the stor-
age tank into the superheatins tank,
where. by means OF Il series Of coils
filled with steam, il is heated prior
TO entering the boiler by using a
heated and therefore thinner oil in
the boiler. the oil burns easier and
supplies greater heat value.
II is interesting TO note the manner
in which the steam is supplied to the
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1921-10-09

whore fuel oil burning apparatus Is
used for heating purposes is in itself
strong argument in its favor. There
are no ashes 10 contend with and no
coal lying about to form dust and
other rather disagrceabe matter In
deed, il would not be exaggerating to
state that the basement OF the Simp-
son building presents the appearance
of a technical school classroom.
The Rcfrigerating Plant
There arc other sights IN the base
mont of the simpson building most
interesting to observe, and all of which
show signs of the capable management
under which the building Is conducted.
For instance, there is the refrigerat.
ing plant, which cools the water
throughout the building, and which
quenches the thirst daily Of hundreds
Of people, few of whom are aware of
tlc manner i'm which the water Is
supplied with such refreshing taste
The water in the Simpson building is
obtained from n well 100 feet deep in
tit tdlu Sbuln VI Nnt StIuttult. fDy
means of n pump the water Is brought
from the well to a tank Of 423 gallons
capacity located in the basement. II
is then cooled by means of coils in
the tank which are part Of an am
monias expansion system of refrigera
tion. 1t is miniature ice-making
plant, which, if permitted to run long
enough, would freeze the water in the
tank into solid cake. As It is, the
refrigerating machine is run one houl
in the morning during which the
temperature is lowered to 40 degrees
and the water remains a. this tenn
perature for period of from 10 to
12 hours. The water is continually
circulated throughout the building by
means of Il circulation system. In the
attic of the building there is AZ
gallon tank TO which the water is
pumped from the tank in the base
ment after the liquid has been cooled
From the attic tank the water finds
its way TO the faucets on all floors
of the building. Every half hour
water is pumped from the basement
to the attic, thus keeping it fresh all
the time Should the tank in the

\ FLOATING switch
Another interesting feature In the
equipment Of the building is float
ing switch. operated in connection
with 5.o00-gallon water tank on the
roof of the building The tank sup
llies water for the washing, ETC.
When it's contents are diminished and
the tank is only half full, the floating
switch makes an electrical connection
which announces by means Of Yell
aud a light in the basement the con-
dition of the tank and Immediately he
attennant proceeds TO fill II. Also, the
same switch. over another circuit, an
nounces in similar manner that the
tank is filled when the water reaches
the top.
The mechanical equipment of the
Suilding represents the height OF mod
ernity, and is indeed credit 10 the
commercial enterprise of Ardmore. Mr..
Dressell states that he will be pleased
to guide all persons through the base.
ment of the building and will ex-
plain the various mechanical devices
and their mode of operation. Visitors
to the city from out-of-town points
will be most welcome, he states, and
they in particular should be brought

the premises.
Dressell has been in charge of large
buildings in various parts 81 the coun
try for more than twenty years. Al

of the prominent realty concerns there
and opened many Of the magnificent
structures in that city. He came to

superheatng tank. Last year an aux
iliary boiler equal in size to that used
In heating the building. and which de
rives its fuel by gas. was put in oper-
alton to carry the steam to the super
heating tank. After the oil was once
heated, and the fuel burning boiler
started In operation. the gas boiler was
put out and steam supplied 10 the
superheating tank from the fuel oil
burning boiler. This season. Dressell
expects TO entirely eliminate the use
of the gas boiler in getting the in
italy required steam and win start
the oil burner with the heavy oil in
order 10 acquire necessary steam for
The superheater.
Other Changes Planned
Another change which Dressell plans
in connection with the fuel oil burn
ing boiler Is relative to the manner of
spraying the oil in order that il might
burn. Heretofore the steam from the
gas burning boiler was employed to
spray the oil until it formed its own
steam to carry on the same purpose.
The new method devised by Dressell
is to make use of the exhaust of the
huge vacuum cleaner of the building,
and by means Of connecting it with
the boiler, spray the oil with the air
until steam is gotten up in the boiler
itself.
Fuel Oil Cheap
During the past winter il required
but an average of three barrels of
fuel oil to heat the Simpson building.
On the coolest days the maximum
amount used was seven barrels. Dres-
sell expects to lessen the amount used
this year without in any manner
diminishing the quantity of heat units
The cost of the three barrels of fuel
oil at 50 cents per barrel amounted
to s2.S5 as compared with sl2 to SIS
worth Of coal which would have had
to be used for similar purposes.
