Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Compressed Air and Pneumatic Machinery It is a noteworthy fact that, while compressed air has been we and been used at a time when dynamic electricity was even in its infancy, its properties and possibilities are still, he minds of many practical people, an object shrouded with confusion and mystery, and considered by them as a convenient topic for the scientist's investigation, but altogether too intricate and obscure to be readily grasped by a man possessed of a common and average knowledge of motive machinery. This same man, strange to say, will find no apparent mystery in handling a first-class Compound Condensing Steam Engine, whose thorough comprehension, however, involves a more imposing array of natural phenomena than does the action of an air motor. Mention to him this latter machine, and he will tell you at once that it is useless; he has a vague recollection that compressed air will not yield over 15 to 20 per cent of the power expended to produce it, while an electric motor utilizes 60 or 80 per cent of this power, and that is the end of it. The fact is, however, without in any way disparaging the wonderful strides made by electricity, that, in a great many circumstances, a compressed air power transmission will be found fully as much, and often more effective than an electrical transmission. Within a radius of 10 to 20 miles or more, it is not a matter of theoretical speculation, but a result of actual facts, extending over a period of many years' experience, that compressed air can be economically produced, conveyed, and utilized as a motive power; and if this power is to be distributed throughout a number of buildings or factories, or in the interior of a mine, the absolute safety consistent with the use of compressed air is an element of superiority to which the electrical transmission has no possible claim. However well insulated the,conductors may be, the vicinity of a dynamo is always dangerous, either on the ground of fire or of bodily injury. In a large power station, manned by a picked staff of attendants, this danger is small indeed; but the conditions are altogether different if the motor is under the care of a miner or of an ordinary workman. Again, the location of an air motor is privileged with a constantly renewed and wholesome atmosphere, whose temperature can be, at will, regulated to suit the local exigencies. Accidental circumstances which may occur in the vicinity of an electric wire under high potential are generally fraught with peril.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Compressed Air: A Treatise on the Production, Transmission and Use of Compressed Air In preparing a second edition of this book, its character as an elementary treatise on the principles of Compressed Air has been maintained throughout. To bring the subject up-to-date, however, the greater portion of the chapter on Transmission has been re-written. Modern formulas were introduced with examples of their application. The important effect of altitude differences on Compressed Air installations has been illustrated by reference to new equations in Article 4 and by the example under Article 97. A new Table VIII, containing the principal Compressed Air formulas was substituted for the old table that has become superfluous. The obsolete Hurricane valve in Article 147 has been replaced by a description of the modern Ingersoll-Rogler valve. Altogether, a general revision of the original text and the addition of new material brings the second edition of the book abreast of modern theory and practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Compresses Air Practice It is only the simple truth that the average power and fuel cost of the compressed air now used - compressed by steam power, directly or indirectly, as most of it still is-is not more than one third as great, per quantity unit, as it was twenty years ago; and perhaps there has been, but concerning this no assertion is here made, an equal augmentation of advantage in the useful applications of the air. As to the increase in the twenty years in the volume Of air more or less compressed and industrially employed a thousand fold may be a conservative guess, while to say a hundred fold would suggest an excess of caution or a deficiency of information. It follows that with the vast extension of the field of compressed air employment, there has been a corresponding accumulation of knowledge concerning it, an increase in the number and variety of the things to be told about it, leaving the scope Of the inquiry as to the possibilities beyond the present more extensive than ever. This book just tells what it can, within the permissible limits of it, leaving still more than ever unsaid, but perhaps suggesting things to be supplied by others who may come after. We designedly have to do here with the general rather than with the specific, with the approximate rather than the precise. The book is intended for the many rather than for the few, for those who know little about air rather than for those who mostly know all that is known. Those who need more accurate and detailed information for practical guidance may perhaps get some hints here as to the how, if not so much the where, to look for it.

Book excerpt: This is a reprint of the first edition (1919) of a handbook that engineers of all types have found it useful. Originally published by Compressed Air Magazine, it collects under one cover formulae and data on compressed air engineering essential to an understanding of its theory and practical application.It is unlike any other book on the subject, in that it involves no discussion of the details of design and construction of pneumatic machinery of the several manufacturers, but confines itself strictly to those things which every user of such equipment should know, to enable him to derive the greatest benefit from his investment.The volume avoids, generally, the formality associated with a strictly technical work and favors the attention of the busy executive, while at the same time proving a valuable aid to the engineer and student.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Compressed Air: A Reference Work on the Production, Transmission, and Application of Compressed Air; The Selection, Operation, and Maintenance of Compressed Air Machinery; And the Design of Air Power Plants Compressed air and electricity to-day share between them the great field of power transmission, to the practical exclusion of all other transmission agents. Steam, because of its rapid condensation, can hardly be considered as a practical power transmitter for any but the shortest distances. Hydraulic transmission has had no general application. Mechanical means of transmission, such as shafts, belts, ropes, chains, and gears, are necessarily very limited in their possibilities. Compressed air and electricity, on the contrary, offer almost unlimited possibilities of extension and of diversified application; and in all cases, where properly applied, they are entirely successful when measured by the modem standards of commercial economy. With the relative merits or shortcomings of compressed air and electricity as power-transmitting agents, the pages following have nothing to do. Modem engineering has defined, with reasonable clearness, the respective fields of these agents, into either of which the other agent cannot hope to enter with any degree of success. The rivalry of the earlier days between these two forms of power transmission has given place to a mutual recognition of one another's merits and cordial cooperation in certain classes of work for which neither alone is fully adapted.
