Fig. 86. — Hamilton Reservoir. grouped into three general classesheaters; (6) automatic reser-voir heaters; (c) pipe-lineheaters. Simple reservoir heat-ers are the kind ordinarily usedwhich burn from a free surfaceand are adapted to low-gradeoil. Automatic reservoir lieat-ers have a patent burner sepa-rate and several feet distantfrom the tank. The high-grade oil used is fed by asmall iron pipe which passesthrough the almost smokelessflame, the oil being volatilizedas it is fed. The burner isinclosed in a sheet iron pipeor drum, which acts as a radi-ator. This type has great pos-sibilities, but is rather expen-sive and cumbersome. Pipe-line heaters are fed throughset above the orchard. There are and pictures of heat-ers installed in or-chards will suffice togive a general idea ofthe leading types atthis time.
