The value of having a coil of this de- 106 Hot Water for Domestic Use scription in a tank, instead of grouping all of thepipes together near the bottom, lies in the fact thatthe condensed steam can be cooled to a lower tem-perature, or in other words will impart more of itsheat to the water. The coldest part of the wateris in the lowest part of the tank, and so long as thewater there is not hotter than the water of con-densation within the coil, it will absorb more heatfrom the condensed steam until the temperatureof the water within the coil, and that in the tankoutside, are about at the same degrees. The hot water connection to this tank is takenoflf at Cy from the top of the tank where the hottestwater is stored, and the cold water pipe is con-nected to t
