Excerpt from On Warming and Ventilating: With Directions for Making and Using the Thermometer-Stove, or Self-Regulating Fire, and Other New Apparatus
The following Treatise contains the substance of a Lecture delivered before a scientific audience at the Royal Institution on the 11th March 1836, and which is now, by the addition of elementary illustration, fitted for popular use.
My reasons for not publishing it sooner were - first, that, in a matter of such importance to this and other countries, as the obtainment of necessary warmth, from failure with respect to which, and to ventilation, much of the suffering and many of the diseases which afflict the inhabitants arise, I might, in recommending changes, have to report the result, not of one or two experiments only, but of many, carried on under great variety of circumstances, and in all the seasons of the year. Secondly, that I might, by wider observation and discussion, be better prepared to make evident to popular apprehension certain misconceptions or prejudices which have hitherto prevented the introduction of better methods, and to explain to makers of the new apparatus what would be required of them.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, a product of the author's decades of scientific research, unveils a new invention and technique for heating and ventilating homes and other indoor spaces. The book was written during the early 19th century, when the primary methods of heating homes were through inefficient fireplaces or dangerous and air-polluting enclosed stoves. The new method detailed in this book employs steam-heated pipes to circulate warmth throughout a home evenly and consistently while simultaneously ventilating the indoor environment by exchanging stale air with fresh air. The author explains that this method is not only more comfortable and healthier than traditional heating methods but also significantly more efficient, which can save homeowners money in fuel costs. The book also delves into the broader scientific principles of heat transfer, ventilation, and the effects of temperature on human health, establishing itself as an authority on the subject. This book's insights were foundational to the development of modern home heating and ventilation systems and remain a valuable resource for understanding the science behind these essential technologies. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781332239405_0
