CONTROLLED WARMTH SYSTEMS
The Arco Model K Vapor-Orifice System is an engineered and coordinated unit which operates to insure equal distribution of warmth. On each radiator there is in stalled a special inlet valve with an adjust able orifice, by means of which flow of steam to each radiator can be accurately calibrated in accordance with the capacity of the radiator. The adjustment can be made while the system is in operation.
Pressure is so controlled that no more steam is admitted to the radi ators than they are capable of con densing. Therefore no thermostatic traps are required on the return con nections of the radiators. A ther-
When a zone system is used, the zone valves prevent the self-equalizing action and it is necessary to install an Arco Condensation Pump to insure the return of condensate to the boiler.
Schematic Piping Arrangement of Zoned Model K System
Schematic Piping Arrangement of Simple Model K System
Simplicity of design and moderate cost make possible the installation of this system for little more than the cost of a One Pipe Steam System.
"Standard Specifications" and "Design and Installation Guide" including all details are available at American RadiatorCompany branch offices.
USED WITH MODEL K SYSTEM
mostatic air eliminator equipped with a vacuum check is provided. If the pressure through inadvertence should exceed the design pressure, steam will enter the return lines, close the vent port of the air elimi nator, and the system will automatically equalize itself, insuring the return of con densate to the boiler.
Arco No. 900 Adjust able Orifice Valve--Ori fice may be adjusted per manently to "meter" the correct amount of vapor to each radiator according to its capacity, to effect balanced heating.
