Morehead - New Bern Highway Dial 6-3970 On the House ONE OF THE IRONIES of life (or the householder is that in the midst of summer heat he is uMiged to do some thinking about his heat ing plant. If he failed to clean it out in the spring, take down the smoke pipe, and so on, he knows that the con densation now causing the cold wa ter pipes to sweat and dripi is go ing to rust and eat away a lot of expensive metal work. And about the only time you have for installing a new heating plant without frigid discomfort is in this good old summer time. But there are so many newfangl ed heating systems on the market CROSS SECTION of a base board heating unit, showing how cool air from floor passes through aluminum fins around copper hot water pipe and emerges as warm air under an overhang. these days-radiant flooty, radiant walls, radiant ceiling, air-condition ing. light fixtures that blow gentle warmth into rooms, electric heat pumps and what not that a choice seems to be as confuting as try ing to figure out a racing form. TO WEHJI the advantages and ; disadvantages of every type of heating system is a tough job. Taking a lot of short cuts, you can say that circulating warm air is fine because you can filter it and humidify it to suit, and the ducts are there when, as and if you can afford air cooling. But, of course, with thermostatic control you have the heat coming on and going off periodically. And radiant heat of any type is fine, because theoretically its rays heat you more than they heat the air you breathe. But how can you control or regulate humidity? Granted, we soak our houses in too much moisture most of the time, but excessive dryness can be annoying, too. That's one of the problems in steam-heated buildings. Steam is highly efficient in sealed vapor vacuum systems. But it's either hot as blazes or not there at all. And it's comman for apartment dwellers to hang pans of water behind radiators to keep the dry air from parching their nostrils. HOT WATER, however, is one of the most popular and flexible of all radiant heating mediums. It's used widely in hospitals, for example. The Plumbing and Heat ing Industries Bureau says the temperature of water in such sys tems can range from a low of 80 degrees in mild weather to a high of 215 in rugged periods. Of course, you still have your own humidity problem to solve artificially, if necessary, but average family bathing, cooking, and laundry, household plants and ba^ns of water usually take care of that. And one advantage is that the same boiler that heats the house can supply hot water for kitchen and bathroom -except in the summer. Heat from a hot-water boiler can be distributed through radiators, convectors (thin-fin types of air warmers), panels, radiant floor or ceiling coils, or by radiant base boards. THIS BRINGS UP one of the most interesting of modern heat ing methods. Instead of having wooden baseboard* around a room, with radiators principally under At!

PENNSYLVANIA i windows to break the chill, metal baseboards circulate hot water around the room. This is designed to take the^chill off tne floor, radi ate heat from all directions and al low it to rise naturally through the I room. There are two main types of radi ant baseboards a solid paint ed cast-iron type that relies on radiation, and a slotted type that combines radiation with convec tion (the heating engineers' de scription of naturally circulating ! warmed air in a room). More than 24 manufacturers make them. The Burnham Boiler Co. was one of the pioneeers in cast-iron baseboard and Warren Webster & Co. developed copper and aluminum convectors behind sheet metal enclosures. This Webs ter type is about 8 inches high and 2 inches thick. It draws the cool air ' off the floor, warms it and sends it upward from under a nar row overhang. THE COST of installing radiant baseboards varies with room sizes and heat losses of structures as well as with the type of baseboard. Heating contractors generally quote $5 to $6.50 per linear foot, depending on the amount of re modeling involved and radiation needed. Decorators and housewives are quick to appreciate the advantages of these baseboard systems be cause of the freedom of space afforded for furniture placement, wall to-wall carpeting and win dow drapery. The Plumbing and Heating Industries Bureau points out that either radiant baseboards or low level convectors offer solu tions for heating rooms with large picture windows. Most installa tions merely take the place of exist ing wooden baseboards. In May. 1952, the planet Mars came within 50 million miles of ? the earth.
