The gasyield in heat units varies, of course, with the quality of fuelused, but it is claimed that the average thermal efficiency isabout 80 per cent. The accompanying illustrations show, in plan and elevation,the Loomis gas apparatus for making water and producer unit consists of two generators, 1 and 2; vertical boiler, 3;water-cooled valves, A and B; producer-gas valve, C; water-gas valve, D. The generator is cylindrical, constructed of ironand steel, from 5 ft. to 11 ft. in diameter, and from 12 ft. to18 ft. in height. The lining is of fire-brick with fire-brickarched grates, ash pit and flue to boiler in the bottom. It isprovided with a door on top for firing and admission of air,two cleansing doors above th
