Show Store Heat in Water; Try to Cut Fuel Cost By storing up heat in water, engineers engi-neers of a Milwaukee company hope to provide a way without great expense ex-pense for warming homes. Their plan is to heat the water by electricity In highly insulated tanks at night and keep the temperature at a useful height during the day by a small amount of current. The hot water wa-ter would be made to circulate through the house In much the same way that it does in an ordinary furnace-heating system. The value of electricity as a heating agent is recognized, hut in daytime, when current consumption is great and capacity Is taxed at peak hours, sufficient suf-ficient electricity for healing purposes could not be delivered without the expense ex-pense of erecting additional plants. It Is hoped that by the water-storage plan, ro extra generators will be needed and the equipment used nt nirht will he available for service during dur-ing the day. The I don Is to he tested out In competition with an ordinary furnace. |
