PLAN

280 ton steel tanks placed in con- crete fire safety enclosures im- mediately to the North of the main boiler plant.

Steam coils or pipes are installed in the bottom of these tanks and also along the length of the boiler delivery feed to maintain an easy flow in

cold weather. When full demand is made on the steam services it is estimated that consumption will be about 30 tons a day.

Steam mains (at 180 lbs per square inch pressure)

pressure) are taken to three pressure chests from which branches

(at the reduced pressure of 60 lbs per square inch) serve some 360 steam consuming appliances scattered throughout the building. Over six miles of high grade pipe of diame- ters varying from a foot to half an inch were required

In the basement the expansion is controlled by means of structural anchors and intermediate billows type expansion joints. The vertical branch risers which are generally much smaller have their lower ends fixed (but are suspended from the top by spring), coils are free to rise

or fail freely. Expansion on risers is taken up by flexible branch con- nections. The risers are fixed at the bottom and guided so that expansion is upwards.

The steam condensate normally gravitates to the hot wells near the boilers but in a few instances is lift- ed by automatic pumps.
