Store Installs New Fresh Air System Recently, the Dives, Pomeroy & Stew art department store installed a fresh air or ventilating system for the com fort of their employes and patrons, which overcomes foul air, humidity, and overheated room co»dltions. The equipment consists of a full housed Conoidal fan, of inultlblade con struction, connected to ducts which dis tribute the air equally throughout the basement of the building: the ducts are controlled by quadrant dampers, so that the supply of air may be used as de sired. The equipment has a capacity of sup plying 32,000 cubic feet of air per minute, which will make a complete change of air throughout the basement every twelve and one-half minutes, or five changes of air per hour. Fresh air is drawn through a brick stack, extend ing from the basement to twelve feet above the roof of the building, passing through a set of heater coils, which in winter time is tempered so as to effrry a normal temperature throughout the building. In summer time the tempera- i ture s below the outside temperature. I turc.
