Van Auken System:—In this system, as in the pre-vious one, the vacuum in the return main is produced by avacuum pump wlhich is controlled by a specially designedgovernor. The automatic valves which are placed on theradiators, coils and other drainage points along the system,are called Belvac Thennofiers, and are shown in section byFig. 80. This valve is automatic and removes the water of condensation by the controlling ac-tion of a float. It is connected to theradiator or coil at fi^ and to the vacu-um return pipe at L.
