Paperback. Condition: 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. Seller Inventory # 9781332239405_0
