Table 5 gives the final temperature of the air leaving cast-iron indirect convectors corresponding to different entering.temperatures different cubic feet of air per hour per square foot of surface.
Table 6 illustrates the difficulty in tabulating any definite ecu outputs, since there is so much variation between the product of different manufacturers. Only on the four-tube and six-tube sizes1 there practical agreement in output value.
Pin-Type Conductors
Table 5 is for % in. pin-type convector using steam at 1 lb. pressur
For 1 in. pin-type the temperature rise of the air is about 95 per cent'
the corresponding rise for % in. pin-type, and for hot water at 170 dr,
fahr. the temperature rise of the air ranges from 80 to 85 per cent of tly corresponding temperature rises, with steam at 1 lb. pressure.

WALL COILS--Coils Placed Vertical--Pipes Vertical Emission varies in inverse ratio of the height of the coil
Use 100 B.t.u. per lineal feet of pipe as an average for 1J4 in. coil, 10 ft. high
CEILING COILS--Coils Placed Horizontally--Pipes Horizontal Emission is equal to that of a single row coil
Allowance must be made, however, if the coil is at the ceiling in a; higher temperature. In this cash use:
126 B.t.u. per lineal feet of pipe for 1 in. coils. 156 B.t.u. per lineal feet of pipe for 1J4 in. coils. 175 B.t.u. per lineal feet of pipe for 1% in. coils.

V; LOCATION OF HEATERS
V It should be made a rule to install heaters beneath or near the area of greatest heat loss. The best place is underneath an outside window.
This seems logical for the following reasons: ' : i. Heat emitted by radiation from the heater will counteract the effect of heat radiated out through the window from occupants in the room. ' 2. Cold air leaking in through the window is warmed before it reaches the interior
o>f 3th.eAroirocmu.rrents from the heaters pass upward, mingling with the cold infiltering air,
and form a screen of warm air protecting against cold window drafts. 4. There is less discoloration of walls from dust arising from the heater. If the
heater cannot be placed underneath the window, then it should be located as near the window as possible, near outside doors, underneath skylights, near to very exposed
walls or corners, etc.
y` SELECTION OF HEATERS ,: .In selecting the proper heater for heating a given room or space, the
following procedure should be followed: 1. Estimate the total loss from the room or space to be heated in accordance with
Chapter 5, making proper allowance for exposure, wind velocity, height of ceiling, etc.
