J Twr a mm Wua Water.
The recent cold snap suggested to a
Toang Portland Inventor a device
which. If It win do what its creator
fcelirvee. will bring dismay to the
Thumbing profession and save million
f dollars every Winter for tha over
burdened householder.
The "automatic eleetro-therraoecopic
resistance, thawer" ta the formidable
exams bestowed, on tha device by its In
ventor, Charles H. Shapiro. The name
means that when water in a pipe to
which the device is attached falls to a
temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit,
which Is water's point of greatest dens
ity, an electric circuit closes automat
ically, starting heat in a "thawing: nip
ple," which sends a current of warm
water through the pipe, preventing
freezing.
The mechanism is all contained In a
glass bulb measuring about four by
three Indies. It should be placed at
the lowest point of the most exposed
portion of the pipeline, at which tha
water would soonest reach lta "greatest
density at 40 degrees.
This is eight dugrees above the frees
Ing point, so that with the device work
ing properly the water in the pipe
would- never be In dagger of freezing.
Aa soon as the water affeotlng the ap
paratus goes above 40 degreea In tem
perature the circuit would be broken
automatically.
Th general principle of tha device
is that of the mercury thermometer.
Inside the glass bulb is a small bulb
containing mercury and exposed to the
water. Keating on the mercury, per
pendicularly, is a small aluminum pis
ton or plunger. When the mercury at
tains a temperature of 40 degrees the
plunger drops, making the electrical
connection above that starts the
"thawing nipple" In another part of
the pipe.
