AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM - MAJOR FEATURE OF THE NEW D-O HOME
The conditioned atmosphere in which Stamford
staff members spenri five working days each week
is an outstanding advantage far beyond the psychological
boost expressed by, "our office is
air-conditioned!" It is a very definite health
aid - r ed ucin g work which the human heart and
circulatory system must perform in summer months
to keep the body cool and, lessening perspiration
which reduces stamina. Also, it is a sizable aid
in our work, allowing each staff member to continue
his normal work pace comfortably throughout
muggy July and August months. Although the most
important, these are but two of the benefits of
air conditioning.
The broad phrase, air conditioning, encompasses
more than j ust cooling. The central system which
serves our new headquarters does much more than
cool the air we breathe. It heats as well as
cools the on e million, two hundred thousand cubic
feet of office air as r equired by changing seasons.
It r emove s exc ess mo isture from the air
and filters out dust particles and dirt. And, it

As might well be imagined, such a system is
of great size and complexity - the product of
exact engineering and a major consideration in
the basic design of the building. The principles
of the system and its basic functions however,
are quite simple and, Quite interesting.
The Stamford office system is outstanding for
its false ceiling, duct distribution design and
optional- fuel heating plants. It will be a few
months yet before staff members will be aware of
the latter which will heat office air by burning
natural gas most of the time. We say 'most of
the time' because both of the four million
B.T.U. / hr. warm air f urnaces can, and will at
times, burn fuel oil stored in a fifteen thousand
gallon tank.
During the dead of winter, the supply of lowrate
city gas will occasionally drop low. At these
times the furnaces are converted to burn bunker
C fuel oil, a thick , viscous oil which must be
heated to proper fluidity before combustion, but
which has a high heat val ue. Change-over from gas

Jl:lese two w,:,-rm ai r heating furnaces are optionall y fed
wlth fuel 011 or natural gas (note labels on piping).
Fuel oil pil?ing is insulated against loss of heat provided
by Clrculation to furnaces. Control s are automatic.
AIR COND ITIONING continued ...
for economy since both industrial rate natural
gas and bunker C oil are the least expensive
fuels available.
In August, we are understandably not so much
interested in heating as in cooling. Cooling the
office air is accomplished by removing the heat
from it. While the simplicity of that fact may
seem almost ridiculous, it is the basic physical
principle upon which this system and all "air
conditioners" are designed.
Heat from the office air is removed by chilled
water in coils. This is the reverse of the automobile
radiator in which hot water in the radiator
is cooled by a rush of air through its coils.
In our air conditioning system this heat is then
absorbed by a compressed refrigerant gas. From
the gas it is absorbed by circulating water in
the cooling tower outside at the rear of the
building. Heat in this water is dissipated in
the surrounding outside air by means of fans
in the cooling tower.
Understanding how this heat transfer is accomplished
(from one to another of each of the thr ee
closed circuit c irculat i on systems), is best
illustrated by following the seemingly intangible
heat through a complete cycle. Office air is
drawn through five louvered shafts at different
points in the building. It travels down under
the building, through man-sized concrete air
tunnels to the rear of the building. Here it is
drawn by a pair of one hundred horsepower fans
through three hundred and f ifty square feet of
fibre filter blank et which effectively traps
dust, dirt and pollen. Removal of these minute
Filtered air, one hundred and seventy thousand
cubic feet of it per minute, is blown by the fans
over four decks of coils containing chilled
water. Air temperature drops on contact with the
coils and excess moisture, wh ich cannot be contained
in the air at reduced temperature, condenses
and drains off. Cooled , filtered and
de-humidified air recirculates to office areas
through cool air ducts and ceiling-mounted distribution
panels throughout the building. In
Winter, the "dead" air is filtered and sent to
the furnaces for heating rather than over the
coils for cooling. The system has a separate
duct arrangement for warmed air.
~~en the building is being cooled, what happens
to the heat absorbed from the air by the
chilled water coils? The chilled water being
pumped at the rate of nine hundred and fifty
gallons per minute through the chilled water
system i s, of course, warmed in the transfer of
heat. It flows to a huge four hundred and eight
ton centrifugal refrigerating compressor, a Trane
Centravac. Liquified refrigerant gas, Freon II,
absorbes the water' s heat. water, again chilled,
is recirculated to the coils to repeat its heat
absorbing function.
Meanwhile the heated liquid refrigerant changes
to gas at the higher temperature. The Centravac
compresses this gas, which is liquified in the
condenser.
Once again we have the unwanted heat which
must be disposed of. Twelve hundred gallons of
water per minute are circulated from the cooling
tower outside the building to the Centravac condenser.
Here this cooled water picks up the heat

given off by compressing the gas and r eturns to
the tower. This water is cooled by outside air
pulled through it by fans. It is then recirculated
to pick up more heat of compression from the refrigerant
gas.
Thus, heat in the building's inside air is
finally committed to the outside atmosphere.
Lest this system remind us of a slapstick movie
comic frantically transferring fly paper from
one hand to the other in order to rid himself of
the sticky mess, we must consider the tremendous
task in reducing the temperature of more than a
million cubic feet of air even a few degrees
F'ahrenheit.
The heating-cooling air conditioning system
has a number of special features, all a part of
its overall design. Outside air is drawn in
through louvered vents early on summer mornings
wh en its temperature is less than that in the
building. ,During the hour or so of each July and
August morning when this temperature difference
exists, the building can be cooled while the
actual cooling mechanisms are "free-wheeling".
Another special feature is the locating of the
refrigerant compressdr motor within the unit its
elf, where it is cooled by the refrigerant gas
flowing through it.
The entire system is pneumatically controlled.
Air pressure registers operating conditions
throughout the building on the central control
board and, it opens and closes warm and cool air
dampers as called for by the pneumatic thermostatR.
Again illustrating the versatility of the
overall system these pneumatic controls regulate
winter heating as well as summer cooling. They
regulate the system to cool the south side of
1 '
heat required or degrees heat to be removed.
The building's temperature is meapured by
twelve thermostats located in large "critical"
zones throughout all floors. These units indicate
whether their area heating or cool ing r equirements
have been satisfied on the central control
board and, they open or close dampers within main
air circulation ducts to maintain present temperatures.
A total of 80 other thermostats throughout
the building control smaller areas within
the large critical zones.
What happens if something should go wrong and
create an adverse condition? F'ire from leaking
oil or gas is automaticallY detected. and bS the
same alarm system which handles automatic sprinkler
and fire conditions, it is immediately reported
to the American District System Telegraph
office in Bridgeport. From there alarm goes out
to local fire departments and our Plant Superintendent
is notified. The same alarm system
prevents the building from freezing up on winter
nights by signalling if the inside temperature
drops below 55 0 F. Other ingenious protection
devices watch over other possible hazards no
matter how improbable. A far cry from window fans
and one-room stoves that some of us may recall
from bygone days, the Stamford office air conditioning
system is an engineering masterpiece,
increaSing comfort and health and productivity
as well.
Control of the entire system is the responsibility
of Chris Willumson, Plant Superintendent.
A graduate of marine engineering at New York
State Nautical College, Chris has a wide background
in heating and refrigerating as well as
an exacting knowledge of our system. He served

of Thuringi a, now a part of

the long - awaited return and

friends during hi s r ecent
July vacation as reported by
D-O TELL Repo r ter Bee Fi sher.
" Twenty years ago, in a l i ttle vi llage of the
lovely Thuringian Forest region of Ger many, a
family reunion was held at which t ime I pr om i sed
my par ents that, God willing, my wife and I wo uld

"Th e year 1945 found bot h parents living but
not i n a celebrating mood. Th e r avages of war
we re all around them. Sever al bottles of wine,

to help quench the t hirst of Ame r ican G. I. ' s
who were passing t hrou gh t he r egi on.
"On e year later, after s even long years of
Sil ence, and short ly before we wer e allowed t o
communicate with each ot her again, my mot he r

took a t urn for the worst, we started proceedings
to visit him . Continual negotiations wi t h t he
U. S. Department of State; the Russian Embassy at
Wash ington; th e Occupation Forces in Berlin; and
finally with the Fi rst Consul of t he West Ger man
Republic , all f ~ il ed . Bu t with my fathe r' s
death in 1953, any positive r esul t wo ul d have
been empty of meaning.
"In 1956, t he death of my only brother confirmed
my wi fe' s r emar k, "It is l ater t han you
think!" Two years of effort, hope , and despair
followeri until we finally received perm i ssion t o
visit the surviving members of my fam ily. My
purpose i n writing is to relate but one of countless
examples of what has happeneri, at so many
places, to the better world we have been s triving
fo r since World War II. Of our personal exper

know that our movements in Eastern Ger many we re

the East Ger man officials polite; but by no means

now part of the daily requirements of the West
German are priced out of reach for the East German.
And yet, from the border on , and all around
the "Bezirk", public buildings were decorated
with inscribed banners proclaiming the accomplishments
and intentions of the red government. In
our opinion these intentions will remain just
that for a long time to come.
"The distance from Martinroda, Thuringia,
where my sisters live, to Berlin is about 150
miles. Inasmuch as a visit to Berlin was a must,
I found it expedient to travel another 150 miles
farther away into West German territory to make
a tUnI-back plane trip to my destin1.tion instead
of chancing a possible delay or even a denial if
I had elected to use the shorter land route.
"In West Berlin the devastation of the last
war holocaust has been cleared away. Not so in
East Berlin. Here most of the ruins have been
left. And where top stories remain, one sees fairsized
trees growing from some of the roof tops.
After all, thirteen years is a long time for some
trees - even when they sprout in the ruins of
war.
"Today East Germans of the middle and older
age groups are, with some exceptions, firmly set
against the present regime. But, like Hitler before
them, the communists have captivated the
youth in the schools and youth camps where they
are fast becoming imbued with the precepts of
Marx, Engels, and Lenin. With no understanding
of other basic and world realities, the young
continue to strengthen the hand which today rules
the East Germans.
"Scarcely one person to whom we talked, now
believes in the reunion of an East and a West
Germany except through force. But no German in
his right mind - East or West - relishes the
thought of another war. "

INTEROFFICE SOFTBAll
July 8: Procurement-Est imating over Sanitary
Engineering - 15 to 9. After winning the First
Half Champion&hip with two fine victories over
Financial-Sales and Industrial Engineering, the
Sanitary Team dropped this game to Procurement.
Putting on a powerful display at the plate, Procurement
collected twenty base hits from Dick
Mullins. They scored at least two runs in each
i nning except the first and fifth. Sanitary had
a big fourth inning with four runs. Ernie Bisaillon
hit the only four-bagger in this game which saw
Procurement arise from repeated defeats in the
first half.
July 15: Industrial Engineering over Plant
Engineering - 4 to O. With Industrial hurler
Gene Zanelli fighting off Plant Engineering batters
to a six hit shutout, Industrial capitalized
on opponent errors to win the game. A first of
the season, the shutout is the first of Gene's
career on the mound and marked a happy day for
him. Throwing in the other half of the mound
duel, Tony Zvonkovich allowed one less hit than
Gene but with some trouble behind him in the
field, lost the pitching thriller. Lucky Jack
Corcoran smashed a double for the game's only
extra base hit.
July 17: Sanitary Engineering over Financial­
Sales - 12 to 9. In defeating Sales in this game,
Sanitary displayed some of their first half
championship form after defeat by Procurement.
Sanitary jumped off to a four run lead in the
first inning. Sales scored six runs in the third
inning but were effectively checked by Dick
Mullins while Sales' Joe Sheehan continued to
have trouble. No home runs in this game.
July 24: Sanitary Engineering over Plant Engineering
- 8 to 1. Both teams drew blood early
with a Plant Engineering run in the first and a
Sanitary run in the second inning. Then followed
three innings of tense, exciting play. In the
sixth however, Sanitary blew the game wide open
with four runs on four hits as Plant Engineering
weakened. In the top of the seventh, Sanitary
insure~ their win with three additional runs.
July 29: Sanitary Engineering over Industrial
Engineering - 15 to 6. Continuing their winning
ways in a t hird straight victory, Sanitary batters
again proved their great strength at the
plate. Prank Fiorito and Bill Kocis slammed
homers out of sight. Dick Mullins again pitched
a fine game. He seems to be his best against
Industrial who have not been able to win a game
from Sanitary all season.
August 5: Financial-Sales over Plant Engineering
- 19 to 5. Sales scored ten runs in the
seventh inning to sew up the game. Joe Sheehan
looked sharp, holding Plant Engineering to five
runs on eight hits. Joe Marino, subbing on the
mound for Zvonkovich and Kwochka, gave up eleven
bases on balls and hit four batters for a total
of fifteen free tickets to first base - shades
of Howie Vecsey!
August 7: Procurement-Estimat i ng over Industrial
Engineering - 10 to 7. Damon Bush, colorful
and agile, performed two of the best fielding
gems of the year in this hard fought game. Glen
Ekstrom and Joe Carlucci lofted a serve each onto
the roof in left center f i eld for homers.
Pitching for Procurement, Tony Costantino did
well on the mound. In the last of the seventh
i nning and ahead by ten to six, Tony tired a bit
and allowed one run to score. Then with two outs
and two men on base, Don Van Cott drove a hit to
deep left field. Damon Bush, runni ng at the
crack of the bat, climbed up the left field
screen and with his back to the plate made a one
hand overhead stop which is the sensation of the
seasonI As if the beautifully fielded double base
hit wasn't enough, Damon collected four hits in
five trips to the plate. Always a great competitor,
he provides plenty of fire for his team.

With the D-O "F" and "D" flight teams at the end

playoff match. This is the third year of
league play for the team and second year they
have brought hom e a trophy. Good luck in the
playoff match to both golfers; may they bring
back the first place trophy!
In "D" flight Costantino and Ballo won 16%
and lost 4% points in a total of seven matches.
With this record Tony and your reporter are also
assured of a second place in the flight. Barnes
Engineering is in first place at present but
with two matches remaining to be played. With
luck Dorr-Oliver could boast two first place
trophies this year. Tony is much improved this
year, dropping from the high eighties to the low
eighties and carding below 85 consistently.
In the "A" flight, EdPataky and your reporter

the top of the League, represented by the best
golfer s of all Stamford industries.
Last month , in a match which saw the D-O team
win all th r ee points, a best ball of 71 was
carded. Ed had three birdies (one und er par) in
the match . In the many rounds of golf your r e­
porter has played at Hubbard Heights with some
of Stamford's best golfers, he has yet to see
anyon e top the Pataky boys on long dri ves from
tee. On the par four, number sixteen hole in
this match, Ed belted his tee shot to within ten
feet of the pin - a distance of three hundred and
twenty yards. Following through , he two-putted
for a birdie three. Last year on two differ ent
occasions, brother Fran Pataky turned the same
trick.
Because teams in this flight are so evenly
matched score-wise, there is still a slim chance
for the D-O "A" duo to finish in the running.
Certainly a clean sweep of first or second places
in all flights the company enters is a goal worth
shooting for.
