The effective distribution of heated air through pressure conduits demands the cleverest of planning. The writer recalls the al- most complete failure of a system of heating and ventilation under the plenum system installed as late as 1903 at a cost of many thousands of dol- lars. The system was designed to heat and venti- late a group of university buildings and the money 152 CAUSE OF FAILURE. available was abundant for the purpose. The fail- ure was therefore the more ignominious. Exten- sive... remodeling of the system became immediately necessary. The fault of the system lay in the fact that the attempt was made to distribute from the main con- duit, through valve registers, the amount of air required for each room. The result of this plan was that when the supply registers for the rooms nearest the fan were opened the rooms were im- mediately flooded with air at a stifling temperature, while the distant rooms intended to be supplied by the same conduit received no warm air at all. The resistance of the conduit and radiation from it had not been calculated.
