The Cryer Radiator Control Valve
What the Valve Does
The Cryer Radiator Control Valve gives
two-pipe steam systems the same operating
economies and the same delightful range of medium temperatures as provided by hot
water heating systems, while maintaining the inherent advantages of steam heating
such as low first cost, flexibility of con
trol, etc.
The Cryer Radiator Control Valve con
trols the steam flow into the radiator in an
entirely new and unique way, and in addi
tion mixes the steam with the air and
vapor already in the radiator. Then it cir culates this humid mixture of air and steam
continuously throughout the radiator. Not
merely admitting steam to a few sections.
Mixing a small quantity of steam at about
212 with a larger quantity of relatively
cool air produces a heating medium very
much below steam temperature. The temperature of the whole radia
tor may be varied at will by increasing or decreasing the amount of steam supplied through the radiator control valve. The
possible variations of temperature are ap
proximately those obtained with hot water,
from 90 to212 F.( if desired. When opened
less than
this valve heats the entire
radiator to one temperature, 150 for ex
ample, and holds it there.
Where Used
The Cryer Radiator Control Valve is not part of any one heating system, nor is its use confined to any particular system. It can be installed on any steam system, whether vapor, vacuum, or gravity.
How the Valve Operates
When the disc is raised, the slot D is gradually exposed, allowing a small amount of steam to flow through it. This steam passes into the nozzle and through the Venturi tube F. This flow creates a partial vacuum at G. The incoming steam shoots across the top of the radiator, descends to the bottom, thereby being mixed with the gases and vapor in the radiator. The partial vacuum at G draws the steam and air mix ture in the nearest section of the radiator up arid around the Venturi tube. When this mixture reaches G it is struck by the incoming jet of steam and recirculated.

When the disc is raised above a certain point, the entire seat is exposed, allowing a full opening of the valve and the maxi mum amount of steam to flow through it. This steam enters the radiator through the large port over the nozzle E as well as through the nozzle, and flows through the spud H as well as tube F, thus providing a means of quickly filling the radiator.
Seven Important Advantages
N Saves Steam. Exhaustive engineering
tests have frequently demonstrated that a
radiator with Cryer Radiator Control Valve
opened one-eighth, uses only one-tenth
of the steam used when valve is opened full.
Gives Comfort and Economies of
Hot Water. Use of Cryer Radiator Con
trol Valves on steam systems gives the
benefits of hot water heating in health and
operating cost, plus the economy of steam
heat as to first cost.
They Cost No More. Cryer Radiator
Control Valves cost little or no more than
plain radiator valves with no control, and
considerably less than many modulating
radiator valves.

Valves
Eliminate Trouble.on Return Line. ,ie Cryer Radiator Control Valve thorifighly prevents the passage of steam into
vhe return line. Only condensate and air go into the return line. This prevents trouble with return lines due to steam leakage.
Used with Any Trap or on Gravity 'Systems. Any ordinary radiator trap may fie used with the Cryer Radiator Control Valve on the usual vacuum system. The
live will also operate on gravity lines. No Special Installation. The valve comes to the job complete and ready to ftfise. It is not necessary to waste time ad justing it to suit the size or location of the radiator. It is not necessary to make comftplicated internal adjustments or to insert :ft discs or change it to suit local conditions ../' and variations in steam pressure. There are no delicate adjustments to get out of
V order. vr*-:-
Attractive and Substantial. The valve body is a bronze casting of exceptionally heavy design and strength. The working parts are of brass and have strength and long life. The entire valve is nickel plated with a smooth polish on certain parts, and presents a very attractive appearance.

SPECIFICATIONS
All radiators or other direct heating units, except as other wise noted or hereinafter specified, shall be equipped with the Cryer Radiator Control Valve, as made by the D.G.C. Trap & Valve Co.t Inc. These shall be of the angle or corner type and constructed of bronze with nickel finish.
a The J-M Ball Steam Trap
For heavy duty, high or low pressure.
The J-M Bail Steam Trap.is simple, de/ft'pendable, and durable. There is little or no ft/..,servicing, due to the unusual simplicity of 'iJ-kthe Trap design, with only one moving. V" part. The trap is accessible and easily disiy'>' assembled. You are able to inspect it and '`'/.clean it in a few minutes without disconfty, necting the trap from the line, by merely
removing the cover. ft-V It has a relatively great capacity, and ft discharges the air along with the conden-
sate--an important feature. Small in size v'- and light in weight.

And it is inexpensive. Not only is the initial cost low, but there is genuine economy in maintenance and in saving of steam.
The operation of the J-M Ball Steam Trap is as follows:
When condensation first flows into the trap at (X) and begins flowing out of the discharge orifice (Y), the ball (2) floats up to and is held against the discharge bush ing (3) by the steam pressure. The dis charge orifice is completely sealed until the water level (W) in the trap begins to rise. Then the buoyant force of the water rolls the ball upward on the face of the discharge bushing (3), exposing either part or the entire area of the discharge orifice (Y), de pending upon the quantity of water enter ing the trap at (X), and the trap discharges both air and water.
When the quantity of water entering the trap at (X) decreases, the level of the water drops to the point where the. ball again partially or completely covers the discharge orifice (Y) and is held tightly against the face of the bushing (3). In this way a water seal is provided between the steam in the top of the trap and the discharge orifice (Y), eliminating all possibility of steam leakage.
The Cryer Organization
v Cryer heating systems and devices have v been installed in thousands of buildings all
over the world. Established in 1898, the
Cryer organization has been responsible for many of the great advances in the art of heating.
