Part of the exhaust steam from the engine is used forsupplying a Warren-Webster vacuum heater, whichraises the temperature of the feed water to 200-210degrees Fahr. Exhaust steam is also used for heatingthe buildings, and the condensed water from the radi-ators and heaters is returned to an elevated tank near theeaves of the boiler house by means of a Warren-Webstervacuum pump, which maintains from 10 to 15 inches vacuumon the heating system, thus relieving any back five engines already in operation are of the regula-.
