Overheated Motors 2 Summer ''Headache"
Fire Department Receiving Numerous Calls-Fire r Marshal Offers Friendly Suggestions to Owners

clogged with lint, dust, etc, allow ing for the pressure of the machine to go beyond the normal point, re- sulting in higher cost and severe strain upon the motor. This over load, in time, means an overheated or burned motor. It is then that the Fire Department must be called. Undue Strain
 In most of the commercial units, water cooled condensers are used: if the water supply through the condenser is inadequate, due to a clogged strainer, pipes, etc, there will be an undue strain upon the compressor belt and motor.
 Here is what representative said to us on the subject question, a bright young man, thoroughly familiar with the workings of all refrigeration systems, and person whose opinion we prize highly on account of the work he is called upon daily to do in connection with the particular kind of service. Every household head should read and study what he has to say, to wit:
 Causes for motor failures in some cases, may be traced outside of the motor itself. A compressor operating with pressure far in excess of normal, or one with insufficient oil in the crank case. will result in damage to the motor. Also the space around the compressor should be kept clear to allow sufficient air circulation to the motor and con- densor
 Motors that sound noisy or make several false starts before finally coming up to running speed, should be checked by a competent regriger- ator service-man without delay, to prevent damage to motor, through overheating.
 On the modern completely sealed units, the motors are protected by motor starting and protector unit, or a Therminal Safety cut-out on the Thermostat switch, to stop the motor in the event of an overload.
 Motor fuses should never be above the six recommended by the manufacturers, and all electrical connections should be according to the local code.
 Call Servicemal;
 Tt is advisable for owners of electrical refrigerators with motors provided for customer oiling) to have the equipment cleaned and inspected by a competent service man. at least once each year. pref erably in the spring. This type of electrical refrigerator requires at tention like an automobile or any other piece of mechanical appara- tus, and periodic inspection will help to prevent motor failures when the equipment is subjected to long operating periods during the hot summer months"
 The installation of all refrigera- tion systems come within the juris- diction of the office of the Fire Marshal. AS above stated. we have had so many calls of late on ac- count of overheated motors, that we feel the public should understand some of the causes for it all. Then, too, the question of insurance on these matters should interest the householder, because in some in stances, no actual flame occurs and if such is the case, there may be some hitch in the settlement of any claim made. We suggest consulta- tion with your insurance represen- tative in this respect.

tBY THE FIRE MARSHALL

Now that the summer weather is here, the uses of the electrical re- frigeration untis and fligidaires be- come more general than during the colder months; in other words, the call for service on their part be- Comes more general.
 During the past week or ten days, the Fire Department has been call- ed to various homes, where motors attached to the regrigeration ssys- tenn have been found overheated, with smoke that filled each and every room, and threatened the welfare of all of the occupants. In each case, however, there was no escape of the regrigerant itself. In one case, the family was aroused early in the morning to find the house full of smoke. A telephone call was made to Fire Headquarters and survey of the basement found the motor overtaxed and red hot. In this instance, a man and his wife, a small child and a nurse were affected.
 Experts Consulted
 We have called in various experts for the purpose of seeking informa- ton on the subject, and with a view of enlightening the people as to just what to do under the cir cumstances noted. The fear of rup- ture in some of the lines by reason of the heat that develops from an overloaded motor enters our mind Sulphur dioxide is the refrigerant most commonly used in household systems, and while it is not explo- sive, as claimed, it sends forth a smelly and nauseating odor that chokes, and drives people out of the house. Mixed with fire of itself, its effect upon the human system, becomes dangerous and trouble some.
 According to the men we have interviewed, we find that the ap- proximate cause of the trouble with some of these motors is neglect and '1nattention to their service. The lack of oil or proper fabrication with the kind of oil as suggested in the instructions form part of the trouble, along with the lack of serv- ice. Motor disturbances in some household units of the older model are due, they claim, to the custom CTS neglect to occasionally clean the compressor condenser. This piece of equipment on these models resemble the radiator of an auto- mobile and is used in connection with changing the gas to a liquid, and requires free passage of air through its fins to perform it's work efficiently. Often, these condenserS are partially or completely found
