Furnaces, furnace piping, water heaters,
water tanks, and ovens should be properly
insulated to prevent the escape of heat.
The best insulating substance known is air
confined in small pores or cells, so that
heat cannot be removed by air currents.
No, covering is better than that of perfectly
still or dead" air; and the value of most
insulating substances depends upon the
power of holding small quantities of air
in such a manner that circulation can not
take place. AS a rule the gas companies
will be able to inform consumers concern
ing proper insulation and where it may be
obtained.
HOUSE HEATING
Furnaces and Boilers.
If natural gas is to be used in main
heating appliances, it should be burned
only in boilers or furnaces with correctly
designed burners, air ports, and heating
surfaces. Careful attention should be
given to the adjustment of the air supply
if too little air passes to the flames the gas
is not completely burned, while on the
other hand excess air dilutes the products
of combustion, reducing their temperature
and decreasing the quantity of heat they
rive up to the water or air in the boiler or
furnace.
When coal is burned, heat must be sac
rificed to obtain sufficient draft to draw
air through the fuel bed, and the flue gases
are usually fairly hot when they leave the
heating apparatus. Less draft is required
Tor gas, therefore, weu-QeSlgned gas 1ur-
naces and boilers provide for close regula-
ton of the air supply, and are built with
long "fire travel" so that more of the
heat is recovered and the flue gases are
discharged at a lower temperature. The
use of gas in tn fire pots of ordinary coal
stoves or furnaces is not recommended,
because this method of burning gas is
usually very wasteful when compared with
burning it in well-designated gas appli-
ances. If gas is burned in ordinary fire
pots, great care should be taken to prevent
dilution of the products of combustion by
excessive supplies of air.
Those using gas in furnaces and boilers
should give careful attention to the follow
ing suggestions:
/. Flues and chimneys should be I'M
INSTRUCTED, and the latter should be high
enough for proper draft. Flues should be
fitted with some form of back-draft di-
verter. A back-draft diverter is a device
for preventing "down drafts" from smoth-
ering or distinguishing the flames. The
names automatic draft regulator" "draft
hood ''back-draft hood" and safety col
lar' are applied to various forms of back
draft diverters. Some of these devices
also aid in preventing excessive "up
drafts"
2. All parts Of the burners should be
kept clean, and they should be adjusted to
give steady blue flames.
3. The supply of air should be just
enough to provide for complete combus-
ton. An excessive supply of air causes
loss of heat through the chimney.
4. Heating surfaces should be clean, as
SCOT or dirt prevents the efficient transfer
of heat.
s. The appliances and distributing pipes
should be well insulated to prevent hea;
waste.
6. A term ostatic control saves gas and
aids in maintaining proper house tempera'
ture.

lighted, and the gas should be turned off
when cooking is completed.
A. When water has come to a boil, the
fire should be turned down or the vessel
moved to a smaller burner, and just enough
heat should be supplied to keep the water
boiling. Water can not be made any hot
ter than boiling, consequently violent boil
ing does not hasten cooking. 1t causes
needless evaporation of water and thereby
wastes gas.
5. Cooking utensils should be covered
whenever practicable.
6. No more water should be heated
than is needed.
Z. The careless, wasteful use of hot
water should be avoided, and leaky hot
water faucets should be repaired immedi-
ately.
8. Gas lamps should be burned only
when they are needed.
Importance of Ventilation and Flues.
All fires use Xygen and as oxygen is
necessary to life it is important that all
rooms containing fires be so ventilated
that the oxygen will be replaced. Small
quantities of the carbon dioxide and water
vapor produced by complete combustion
are not particularly Objectionable, but air
containing a considerable quantity of car
bon dioxide can not be breathed, and water
vapor sometimes causes trouble by making
the air too moist or by condensing to form
water. Condensation of water vapor causes
Sweating" of walls and windows, is in
furious to glued furniture, and may cause
rusting of appliances and fixtures. Gases
produced by incomplete combustion are al
ways Objectionable and often dangerous.
Many gas appliances, including some
well-constructed room heaters, are safe to
use without flue connections in well-venti-
lated rooms. However, it is advisable that
all appliances using gas in considerable
quantities be connected to flues, to carry
away the ordinary waste gases and to pro-
vide escape for unburned gas If the fire
is accidentally ~extinguished or for poison
Gus and disagreeable gases if they are
formed. Water heaters should always be
connected to flues, for even the most eff
Gent types may produce poisonous gas
when the flame is first lighted.
In some cases a flue pipe from a gas
appliance must be fitted with a damper
to prevent excessive draft or interference
with the draft for another appliance. Such
a damper should fit the pipe loosely, OF
nave holes through it, so that the flame
will not be smothered if the damper is nc.
cidentally left closed when the appliance
is lighted.
The principles of the efficient use Nof
gas are: ,
!. The gas must be completely burned
2. The heat liberated must be trans
ferred with the least possible loss to the
air, water, food, mantle, or other sub
stance that is being heated.
If gas is completely burned, all OF the
available heat is liberated. but this doe:
not necessarily mean that the greatest pos
sible benefit is being derived from the gas
Heat that goes out the chimney or escapes
in other ways does not benefit the con
sumer; therefore such losses should be re-
duced as much as possible. Appliance;
should be so designed and operated thai
the gases from the flame will transfer
their heat and be relatively cool when they
leave the appliance.
, 1923-02-11
Water Heating.

To use gas efficiently in heating water.
it must be completely burned, and the heat
must be transferred to and retained in the
water.
1. The size and design of the burner
should be such that proper flames can be
obtained at the maximum and minimum
rates of gas consumption.
2. The coils or other heating surfaces
should be such that the flue gases are rel
atively cool when they leave the heater.
3. The heater should be connected to
a flue equipped with some form of back
draft diverter.
4. Both the heater and the tank should
be insulated.
5. The cold water should be introduced
near the bottom of the tank. If the cold
water connection is at the top of the tank,
a cold-water tube should extend nearly to
the bottom.
6. The hot-water connections should be
at or near the top of the tank.
z. The lower connection to the heater
should be a little above the bottom of the
tank to prevent sediment from collecting
in the pipe.
8. A thermostatic control valve on the
gas supply is a gas saver and a great con-
venience.
When water heaters are operated atten.
ton should be given to the following:
1. TIL burners and mixers should be
clean and adjusted to give short blue
flames. If the flames are long, so that
IIe inner pdle-DiuS pdrS are cOOleu Dy
impinging upon the heating surfaces, the
combustion is incomplete and objection
able gases are produced.
2. In instantaneous heaters the flames
should be as low as is consistent with rapid
service at the faucets. Pilot lights may
be yellow, but should be turned low, SO
that they do not deposit SCOT.
3. SCOT on heating surfaces will pre-
vent transfer of heat. Heating surfaces
should be kept clean, and if SCOT is de-
posted the cause should be found and cor
rected.
4. Scale or sediment inside of heating
surfaces will also prevent transfer of heat.
Heaters should be drained frequently.
Cooking.
The following suggestions are presented
to help consumers use gas efficiently in
cooking:
1. The burners should be clean and
adjusted to give short blue flames; yellow
flames deposit SCOT.
2. If the tips of the flames are below
the cooking utensil, the transfer of heat
is not efficient. If the utensil is placed
low on the flames, so that it touches the
pale-blue parts, poisonous gases are pro-
duced. The best results are obtained when
the outer parts of the flames touch the
utensil and spread out slightly.
8. Most of the heat transferred to a
cooking utensil comes from >the higher
parts of the flames; consequently, short
flames use gas more efficiently than long
ones. In order that short flames may be
used, the burners should be close to the
utensils. If the burners are more than
IA inches below the ~utensil, the gas COM
pany should be consulted about having
them raised.
a. It is wasteful to allow the flames to
lick up around the sides of the Utensil.
The size of the flames can always be
| reduced by partly closing the gas cock.
