1450. 1451. Formaldehyde Gas Generator, No 2. DIRECTIONS FOR USE. 1452. The capacity of this size Generator is for the Disinfection of rooms or apartments aggregating 30,000 cubic feet of space. Full charge, 128 ounces Formaldehyde and Chloride Calcium in solution (see Formula), but this should be proportionately governed by the number of cubic feet of space to be disinfected, evaporating until about half-an-inch of the solution is visible in the gauge glass. 1453. To charge the Generator, unloosen and throw off the swing ing bolts, using wrench provided with each apparatus, and remove the dome head. See that the Generator is clean and dry internally, then pour in the compound. Return dome head to place and tighten bolts firmly, so that no emission of gas will occur. Light the oil burner as directed on special card attached. Pass the hose-nozzle through a keyhole in door, or other small aperture, so that the gas may be discharged into the contaminated apartment. When a pressure of 45 lbs. is indicated on the dial of the pressure gauge, open the throttling valve slowly until its limit is reached, then adjust the petroleum burner to maintain this pressure during the period of evaporation. Two sections of hose and two nozzles are furnished in order that two adjoining rooms may be disinfected at the same time, as occasion may require and conditions admit. NOTE. 1454. 1455. The patient having been removed from the contaminated apartment, no preparation is necessary in anticipation of the work of disinfection, beyond closing tightly the doors, windows and ventilators. Leave all items of furniture, clothing, books, pictures and carpets in the room; the gas will penetrate every object and destroy all bacteria without injury to the articles. After discharging the required amount of gas into the rooms, leave them undisturbed for several hours (say overnight, if convenient), then open the windows and doors, and the gas will quickly disseminate into the atmosphere. The safety-valve is set to relieve, automatically, at about 60 lbs. pressure. We advise that clean water be occasionally placed in the Generator, boiling it, and permitting the steam to pass freely through the valves, rubber tube and nozzle, for cleansing purposes. 1456.
