UNIVERSITY PLANTS NSTALL EQUIPMENT Water Softener and New Stoker Set Up on Ag, City Campuses. FERA LABOR BEING USED University power plants on both the city and ag campuses are oe ing improved thru installation of a water softener and a new stoKer, according to a recent announce ment by Operating Superintendent L. F. Seaton. The new water softener for boiler feed water has been installed in the power plant on the city cam pus following the successful opera tion of a similar unit previously installed at the ag college power house. The new equipment was found indispensible following the discovery that pitting had taken place in the new boilers, due to using untreated city water. Experiments with the plant on the ag campus have proved that the boilers can be operated con tinuously during the entire heat ing aoason without being shut down for cleaning, if softened wa ter Is unsed for boiler feed, Seaton said. Remodeling of the ag campus power plant includes the installa tion of a new stoker for a small boiler which Is to allow more eco nomical operation of the plant. Previous to the installation of this equipment, it was necessary to pro duce excess steam in order to sup ply necessary power during the summer months and the cost was Increased.
