In the place of exhaust gases through the boiler, which is in the form of a jacket, a large gas jet supplies up to 10,000 B.T.U./min. and reaches about 900 deg. C. Two venturi meters control the gas and air flow. The layout for this test is shown in the larger drawing. Cabin heaters and oil coolers are tested as complete units, but main coolant radiators, which are much larger, are scaled down, a fraction of the whole element being used.
