Vapor Heating: The Imico System

Download pdf (1 MB)

The Imico System was a rare vapor heating system. "There is no air valve at the radiators in this system and no trap on the return end of the individual radiator. Vacuum is maintained in this system by the Dewey tri-duty air and vacuum trap, which is a combination of the Dewey quick vent air valve and the Dewey vacuum valve." Here is some information about it from The Heating and Ventilating Magazine.
