How My Heat Works: Pembroke East

Hot water is supplied to the Pembroke East system by boilers in Rockefeller, and is pumped through the copper fin tube radiators located in each room of Pembroke East. Each radiator in Pembroke East has a thermostatic valve installed (see photo). That valve determines how much hot water flows through the radiator in that room, increasing or decreasing the temperature. Aligning the 鈥渟nowflake鈥 image on the knob to the marker on the center of the control turns your heat off. You can adjust the temperature up to level 鈥5,鈥 which would provide the most heat. The knob in the image on the left is set to level 4.
