RESERVOIR OF STEAM
SWISS CITY’S SYSTEM It is the usual thing for a city to have a few reserve reservoirs to guard against interruption of the water supply, but a Swedish city has extended the principle, having constructed two steam reservoirs. These arc two large iron tanks, holding a reserve supply of steam for the city’s hydro-electric plant. Enough is held here to operate the generators for an hour or more. The insulation is such that heat losses are negligible even in low temperature outdoors. Automatic valves keep the pressure in the tanks constant.
