orifice being such that a complete discharge of the air and water is at all times effected and a constant differ ence in pressure be tween the branch steam and return lines of one-half pound is always maintained.
The general theory of design and con trol of the steam circulation in all Don nelly Systems is based upon the recog nized principle that in small systems there are, for short runs and for a limited number of automatic return valve de vices, no appreciable differences or losses in pressure. In other words, small sys tems have always proved simpler and more satisfactory in operation than larger- systems.
Therefore all Donnelly gravity and vacuum return line plants are divided into groups of convenient and restricted size. The former are provided with a Thermo-Float Air Valve and the latter with a Thermo-Differential Valve for each group.
The early recognition of this principle led to the design of the Impulse Check Valve, which is used at the return out lets of all radiators and coils in all Donnelly Systems, preventing any water or steam from entering the radiator from the return piping.
It is an Automatic Needle Valve, the size of the orifice through the seat being properly proportioned to the pipe size and to the rated capacity of the valve. The normal operation of the valve is .the same in all systems, the weight over area of the - disc and the size of the
The entire operative mechanism of the Im pulse Valve is enclosed in a heavy removable tube which is inserted in a standard valve body and the valves are guaranteed for five years.
The Thermo-Differential Valve, 'used in Vacuum Return Line- Systems is conr structed as shown. It is made with a standard safety valve body and has a restricted seat which is proportioned to the capacity of the valve. The tfalve disc is provided with an impact surface,, as in the Impulse Valve, and with a cup-shaped portion for -holding the weights, together with- a central-. ro<J which acts as a guide for the vaporizing fluid thermostat. The opening in the bottom of the valve is. intended as a cleanout and should be provided with a nipple and cap. A small leakage open ing is provided in the seat so that the system will drain when shut down.
A Thermo-Differential Valve is , in stalled in each branch return so that no water, air or steam can pass into the main return without being properly regu lated in pressure and flow.

Excelso Indirect Water Heater, Fire Pot Generators, Rotary Hack Saw Tools
The Excelso Water Heater
consists of a heavy
copper coil heating
! element fitted in a cast
jiron shell by means
"of patented ground
joint connections. All
parts are interchange
able and easily acces
sible.
Connected on the
outside of steam or
vapor boilers the Ex-
, celso elminates the fire
I pot coil and insures a
! constant supply of
1 domestic hot water all
during the heating season at an even
temperature.
The Excelso method generating do
mestic water is so satisfactory and the
expense so trifling that boiler manufac
turers are providing special tappings in
their boilers and heating engineers gen
erally are recommending its use.
The Excelso
Heater can be
