When the standard orifice is replac-
ed with an oversize ,orifice, the air
fuel ratio is lowered, the complete
ness of combustion is reduced, and
| liberation of carbon monoxide is in
creased for a given gas consumption.
Two greatest dangers is that the oper-
| ator may not change back to the
standard office when the gas pres
! sure becomes normal, and the heater
will then be operated at too high
rate for good combustion with the
consequent liberation of Increased
amounts of carbon monoxide.
4. Since, when burning artificial
gas, larger size orifce is needed
than for natural gas, dangers may
arise when heater which has been
used in a region where artificial gas
was supplied. on moving to natural
gas region is used without changing
to a small orifce. In such case the
heater is operated at two to three
times its rated capacity, with ~e
liberation of dangerous quantities OF
carbon monoxide. Two deaths in the
Pittsburgh, Pa, district during De-
ccmber, 1922, were caused by oper-
ating heater mot radiant type)
with an orifce intended for artificial
gas on a natural gas heater.
5. Manufacturers should stamp on
each heater sold (tl1is docs not apply
to yellow flame heaters), in some con-
spicuous place where not easily re-

is intended for,--such as, For Natur-
al Gas Only" or For Artificial Gas
Only" and the oritices should be
locked and accompanied by instruc-
lions not to change without consult
ing the local gas company.
G. Heaters should be of sufficient
size to heat, a given room at normal
rating, rather than of a smaller size
and operated at excessive rates. If
a radiant. heater has an adjustable
primary air inlet, be sure this is as
wide open as possible or better yet
remove it and throw it away. (Six
deaths in Ohio during December,
1923, were largely due to having the
primary air inlet closed). For safe
tvs sake buy an oversize heater
rather than an oversize oritice. When
q period of low gas pressure arises, |
the oversize heater will then be large |
enough to furnish sufficient heat
without changing to larger orifice, |
with its inherent dangers Of liberia
ton of carbon monoxide.
Z. Tlues on radiant hearters are
always desirable. Heaters operated !
at excessive gas flows. or used With /
oversize orifces or poorly constructed,
giving low air-fuel ratios at the |
burner ports, should be attached to
1ues.
s. Never sleep in room in which |
| fueless heater is burning without /
having at least one window wide. open |
o supply adequate ventilation. This
me precaution would have prevented /
many deaths during the past few
months.

DEADLY GASES and
HOW TO AVOID Them .
Govt. Issues Advice Relative to
Maintaining Fires

Washington, D. c., March o.
Warning that improper combustion
of natural gas in heating appliances
in common use may liberatc carbon
monoxide, an insidious and deadly gas
is given by the Bureau of Mines as
the result of studies just completed at
its Pittsburgh, Pa, experiment sta
ton. These tests followed announce
ments in Pittsburgh, Baltimore and
various other cities of many deaths
due to this cause.
Carbon monoxide is produced dur
ing the incomplete combustion of any
carbonaceous material, and quantities
as low as o. per cent may produce
death in a short time For healthy at
mospheric conditions in the home, in
which the occupants are continuously
exposed, carbon monoxide should not
be present in amount greater than
0.01 per cent.
The tests conducted by the Bureau
of Mines were with standard make
of radiant heater, we'll constructed,
and of the usual design sold at the
present time for burning natural gas.
The gas consumption, gas pressure,
orifice pressure. size of orifce, and
heater adjustment were changed so as
to obtain as many different operating
conditions as possible. In general
way the tests were carried out under
the same conditions that the heater
might be operated in the home.
As result of it's Investigations. the
bureau offers the following srgges-
lions regarding the operation of ra-
diant fire heaters burning natural gas
to prevent liberation of carbon mon
oxide: sm
Words of Advice
/. Do not operate radiant fire
heater so that the radiants glow more
than three-quarters the distance from
bottom to top. When this rate is en-
ceeded. carbon monoXide is liberated
in more or less dangerous quantities.
.. For all gas flows in which the
radiants glow from one quarter or
more of the distance from bottom to
top, the adjustment should be made
from the needle-valve rather than the
gas-cock. Open the gas-cock as far
as possible, then close the needle
valve to give the desired gas flow or
flame length. BY adjusting the gas
flow from the needle-valve with gas
cock wide open, the highest possible
orifce pressure is obtained, which as
shown, raises the air-gas ratio, in
creases the completeness Of combus-
ton. and diminishcs the liberation of
carbon monoxide for a given gas
3. An oversize oriicc should be
used with caution, and manufacture
ers should discourage the use of such |
an orifice for low gas pressures, A
heater is properly made for a given
size orifce, so that a minimum guam
tity of carbon monoxide is produced
