Ventilation and Heating

Ventilation and Heating.

The ventilation shafts should be made of l1/8-inch kauri boarding, fitted close together, with louvres and covering caps; these latter may be made of galvanized iron. It will be understood that these flues will ventilate their respective rooms only, and that the small ventilators, already specified to be made of galvanized iron, are solely for the purpose of ventilating the space between the ceiling and the roof proper. Fresh air is introduced through air-gratings in outer walls where directed, both direct into the rooms, as also through a horizontal channel to the inner wall in milking-room, on the Tobin principle; these latter to be made of wood (see foundation plan). Provide six openings, 24 inches by 12 inches in the base, for cold air into the heating chamber; to have hinged flap and bolts, &c.

Heating Flues.—Heating flues in the other part below the cheese-room to be made in 1½-inch thick totara, to have a slide as shown on drawing whereby the heat can be shut off from the heating chamber, which is to be accessible through a manhole in the cheese-room floor. From the top of these channels the beat is to be brought up the floor through cast-iron gratings shown in floor plan.
