with high pressure are: (1) lower heat loss per square foot of pipe surface;
(2) less trouble with traps and valves; (3) simpler problems in pressure
reduction at the buildings; and (4) general reduction in mamtenance costs.
With distribution pressures not exceeding 50 psig, there is less danger if
the full distribution pressure should build up in the radiators or heaters
through the faulty operation of pressure-regulating valves. With pres
sures higher than 50 psig, a second pressure-reducing valve or some form of
emergency relief is required to prevent excessive pressures in the radiators
or other heaters.1
The advantages of high-pressure distribution are: (1) smaller pipe sizes; (2) availability of the steam for various other operations requiring higher pressures than the building heating system; and (3) wider flexibility in allowance for maximum pressure drop. Where distribution pressures
