Circulair Heat Installed Under Window. Standard Outlet Grille
Circulair Heat is an improved convection heating unit of the concealed type for use with hot water, steam, vacuum or vapor systems in place of cast iron radiators.
The Circulair Heat Unit occupies only a fraction of the space required normally for room heating equipment and consists of a carefully designed seamless copper tube on which are pressed die-stamped fins evenly spaced. Circulair Units are avail able in various widths and lengths and may be concealed in walls or cabinets.
The Concealed Circulair Heater is usually plastered in the wall but a removable plaster wall panel is available where ready access to piping, valves and traps
is desired. This plaster panel is plastered
on the job when the wall is plastered and is
invisible when the wall is finished.
Circulair Heat Units are rated in equiva
lent square feet of cast iron radiation. All
ratings are based on 240 B.t.u. per square
foot and were established by actual con
densation tests. Capacities depend upon
(1) Type of heater, (2) Length of heater,
(3) Height of stack.
A wide variety of grilje designs
[ are available to harmonize with
II various types of architectural
ll treatment.

Dixie Unit Heater
The Dixie Unit Heater is adapted to any service for which a unit heater can be used, including the heating of ware houses, factories, offices, theatres, garages, churches, auditoriums, and many special applications for which a heater of high quality is required.
The Dixie Unit Heater is so constructed that it can be either suspended from the steam line or from an overhead support. The direction of the air is regulated by the adjustable shutters, at any angle from a horizontal direction straight down to the floor.
Dixie Unit Heaters are constructed and tested to operate continuously on any steam pressure up to 150 lb. Dixie cores have been tested at several times this pressure and found to be satisfactory. This is made possible by the use. of the highest grade material throughout andby the patented compression coupling, which eliminates the possibilities of. all leaks between the tubes and the headers. Each tube is inserted in its proper place and.the coupling tightened up by hand. Each core is a job in itself.
The tubes of which the Dixie core is con
structed are made of heavy weight % in.
seamless copper tubing upon which a spiral copper fin is securely fastened.
is guaranteed to be leak-proof. A further outstanding feature of this design is the ease with which a tube can be replaced in case of damage. It is only necessary to unscrew the coupling and lift out the tube. The hole in the header can be plugged with a in. pipe plug and the unit put back into operation. The Unit need not be

out of service more than a few.minutes, an incalculable advantage where-service is required.
In a test to determine the holding strength of this compression coupling,
11,000 lb. (2'A tons) pull was exerted try
ing to pull the headers apart. Although the tubes were stretched nearly one-half inch the compression couplings held per fectly and the unit remained intact.
Compression Coupling
An outstanding feature of the Dixie Unit Heater is the patented compression couplings employed between the tubes and the headers. These coup lings insure a connection which
