Floor Heating Plan
Expected 10 Replace
Section Radiators
More Comfort and Cut
In Fuel Cost Listed
Among Advantages

The section radiator, proverhial
dust collector and eyesore in the
average American home. is going to
be put in its place That is, if a
new plan for floor radiation is widely
adopted, according to B. B. Mahon,
principal of the heating and venti-
lating school, International Core
spondence Schools, who observes
that the new system may make a
radiator as unusual sight in 10
years as hair sofa Is now.
The old-fashioned radiator heats
largely by convection because the
flow of cold air over the sections OF
the radiator Is upward and outward
over the room, the heating authority
explains. AS the air becomes chilled
1t settles to the floor and to complete
the cycle returns to the radiator.
The difficulty with this system is
that the temperature of the air
along the ceiling may be too warm,
the air at the level of the shoulders
of a person standing erect may be
comfortable, while the floor may be
cold.
The new heating plan does away
with the section radiator along the
wall. This is done by embedding
coils of welded cement covered
pipes in the floor This surface,
heated by the hot water in the pipes,
is made to radiate heat upward.
Tests have shown that floor surface
temperature of 80 degrees will result
in room temperature of about 68
degrees. Therefore, the occupants
OF the room feel warm and comfor-

ing less fuel is required.
Air heated by contact with the
floor becomes lighter and moves up
ward, first warming the lower half
of the room. This plan reverses the
system Of section radiators in that
heat is placed where it is most
needed, in the half of the room which
Is lived In.
Advantages Of the floor heating
