"The Hoffman devices which transform what would be an ordinary steam heating system into Hoffman controlled heat are six in number: the control valve (No. 7 Hoffman modulating valve), the trap (No. 8 Hoffman return line valve), the vent valve (No. 11 Hoffman vapor vacuum valve), the Hoffman differential loop, the Hoffman damper regulator, and the Hoffman ther-kompo gage. The book also includes tips for figuring heat losses and radiation, the heat transmission of building materials, pipe sizing data, and more.
