FIGURE 1 - RADIATOR AIR VENT COMPARISON
This is a comparison of the radiator air vents tested. This figure is also based on a gauge pressure
of 1” W.C. and once again the relative positions do not change up to a pressure of 28” W.C.

FIGURE 2 - MAIN LINE AIR VENT COMPARISON
This comparison is based on a gauge pressure of 1” W.C.
The results at 1” W.C. were chosen as most representative
of actual operating conditions. The relative positions of the
vents do not change significantly up to a pressure of 28” W.C.
