    the Humphrey Valve

    This is not a joke!
    I'm hoping that some one has used, seen or been bit by one of these and can explain it to me.
    It is an integrated componant of an air pump that is reported to be able to non-electriclly drive a forced hot water heating system.......
    Ok, let's hear from you, soon

    Dizzyness

    can usually be cured with a bowel of cream of celery soup,
    this cure, however, will not help much with the Humphrey
    valve.......
    Is there a knowen method for moving fluid thru a radiant pannel system non-electriclly?
    The suggestions from the Hoover Pump Works include the recomendation that the water temp be set at 180 deg. F....
    Bubba, we got bells, whistles and red flags all over the place with this one. The only part that I have recognized
    is the Burnham boiler with a milli-volt gas valve.
    So have some soup, and give me a shout, I'm here in the shop making a gas tank for a 20hp, 1902 Lauson Gas Engine.
    The fun never stops.cp

    Dan It's Hay!

    I thought that horses ran on HAY? Ever rebuild a condensate return pump for a horse? Handle at the impeller shaft and a big single impeller blade at the end. One people power. Mmmmm, and the smell.! Nuff said

    Art, you've got something there!!!

    This thing will run on hay! Wood, charcoal, even tar! This pump is a real eye opener.

    The gas holding tank works just like the one I used to work with; that said GAS HEAT all the way around the top of the holder and lived in the south end of Concord, NH.
