When steam at 70 or SO lb. pressureis turned into a tank of cold water forheating there will be a very disagree-able noise. A certain plant using alarge quantity of hot water had to heattheir water with steam, and to eliminatethe noise they constructed a device asshown in the sketch. As a siphon ejec-tor will make no noise of any conse-quence, this principle was applied, saysthe Practical Engineer. The 3^. Noiseless Steam Water Heater. main pipe carrying the steam into thetank was fitted with a tee on the bot-tom end, and into this tee two nippleswere fitted witli long threads on theouter ends. These ends were fitted withtwo %- by IVi-in. bushings, allowingthe ends to extend through them. Onthese bushings were screwed two 1^ with a short nipple and an elbowas shown in the sketch. When the steam is passing in a jet atthe end of the small pipe in the largetee, the water will be drawn up fromthe bottom of the tank and upward atthe sides through the ell and return tothe bottom of the tank again down thecentre, causing a continuous circulationuntil the water reaches the boilingpoint. The by the appli-ance when at work is no more than thatmade by an ordinary-sized injector ora siphon-ejector.
