Silent Oil THE EVENING . STAR. WASHINGTON. D. (. WEDNESDAY. MARCIH 3. 1926, has at last become a fact A revolationary method—a firmly established man- ufacturer. Silent Automatic Oil Heat has been developed by a strong com- bination of widely known engi- neers. It is manufactured by an organization with a financial background of unquestioned stability and permanence. Nobody but men of this standing would dare to do what these have done; sweep aside old theories, eliminate the blower, devise anew principle and so simplify oil burn- ing that it could be offered at a price years in advance of the times, $350 completely installed, ready to operate. = - o oS 2 1 The new flame— a radiant shell of silent flame. In place of a fiercely burning flame projected by a blower, the Silent Automatic produces a shell of radiant, silent fire that hugs the walls of the fire box, and slowly whirls. The rotating Impeller -Breakers in the center of the fire box, by an exclusive method developed in the Laboratories of the Silent Automatic Corporation, place a homogeneous mixture of evap- orated oil and hot air at the base of the heating surface, where it belongs. There it ignites, and the intense heat at the instant of com- bustion is constantly in contact with the heating surface. The inside of the shell of flame is comparatively cool. Every square inch of heating surface blanketed by live flame. As the vapor mixtyre burns, the flame eddies around and around the walls, bathing every square inch of surface with radiant fire. ‘This slow movement permits every possible heat unit to be absorbed by the heating surfaces, and stack temperatures are ex- tremely low. ‘The gas produced by the Silent Automatic Method is burned in contact with the surface it is intended to heat. No flame is wasted heating gases in the center that go up the flue without the heat being utilized. ‘This principle gives Silent Auto- matic an extremely high efficiency rating. Furthermore, the fuel supply can be so regulated as to bring out the last unit of heat without waste. This results in great economy. Principle and mechanism are both so simple that continuous opera- tion of the Silent Automatic is certain. It must deliver the reliable, dependable service that home owners demand— month after month. Installed with Complete Auto- matic Safety and Operating Con- trol Equipment Years of Research result in the burner that conservative buyers have been waiting for — The doom of the coal bin and ash pile is foretold by the arrival of this silent and absolutely dependable burner at a record low price. This announcement is intended for conservative buyers who have been waiting for perfected oil heat. It is aimed at home owners who knew that some day a silent burner, simple and trouble-proof, would be placed on the market at moderate cost. To you we hava.to say this: Silent Oil Heat has at last become a fact. The roar of the oil flame has been conquered. A burner has been perfected that is so simple, so sturdy, and built over a principle of such positive action that even minor trouble is only a remote possibility. This very simplicity makes possible a price that is not approached by that of any other burner of the power type—$350 installed with complete automatic safety and operating control equipment. The combination of price plus principle presents oil heat in a form that it can at last be the universal heat for the American home. The burner is “Silent Auto- matic”’; the Noiseless Oil Burner. Silent Automatic is not a dazzling new discovery. It is not the brilliant, over-night idea of some inventor. Such ideas are seldom perfect. Instead, Silent Automatic is the product of years of labor, research and development. It has been engi- neered by some of the best known and most capable men in the industry. It is made by a solid, substantial manufacturer with whom responsibility “stays put.” It is conservatively sold as a tested and proved product with unquestioned success already behind it. A truly marvelous principle—‘“the hollow shell of radiant flame” gives Silent Automatic a remarkable efficiency rating. It makes possible a guarantee covering every burner that cannot be duplicated, and this guarantee is our Gospel. Any boiler or furnace can be equipped with Silent Automatic in a few hours time.
