Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boiler Economy The general subject of boiler economy is too large to be treated fully and exhaustively in a pamphlet, (1 yet it is quite possible to compress a considerable number of useful suggestions into a fairly small space. That is what we have tried to do in the present publica tion, and we shall feel well repaid if the boiler owner finds that it throws a little light upon certain of his problems, and helps in some small measure to keep down his Operating expenses. Further information upon any of the points that are covered, or upon any other topic relating to economy or safety in the Opera tion of steam boilers, will be cheerfully furnished to our assured upon request.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fuel Economy in Boiler Rooms, Vol. 1 of 2: A Development of Fuel Economy and Co2 Recorders Published in the Engineers' Study Course From Power There is, perhaps, no subject in need of more universal attention among power-plant engineers than that of the economical use of fuel under boilers. Happily the subject is getting such attention more and more as its importance is realized. The cost of fuel in most plants is between 60 and 70 per cent, of the total cost of power. When it is realized further that due to too much excess air, improper furnace design and, above all, careless and ignorant attendance, as much as twenty-five and more per cent, is needlessly wasted in most plants, the reasons for such activity as is now displayed are manifest. It may be correctly stated that the average power-plant engineer has had but few persons or papers to point out to him, in his own language, the causes of waste in the boiler room. Combustion to him, until recently, meant maintaining a fire hot enough to keep the steam gage indicating the correct pressure. The chemistry of the process and of the means for detecting the degree of perfection of combustion were matters for others to consider - others who were fortunate enough to possess the education to understand the terms and technical "mysteries" dealt with. When preparing the lessons on combustion which first appeared in the Engineer's Study Course from Power and which make up the largest part of this book, the aim was to present the subjects treated of in a manner easily understandable to the engineers and firemen who have to do with the final use of the fuel and on whom depend how economically it will be used.

Download or read book Boilers Classic Reprint written by Hubert E. Collins and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boilers This volume endeavors to furnish the reader with much new and valuable material on an old subject, together with much standard information which every engineer likes to have at his hand. A glance at the chapter headings will show the scope of the book. It will be seen that the subject is pretty fully covered from the working conditions inside of a boiler to simple talks on the various phases of boiler practice. It also covers the design of boiler furnaces for wood burning, and much other useful material. One very important feature is the portion on the safety valve based on Mr. Fred R. Low's supplement to Power on that subject. The author is indebted to Mr. Low for permission to incorporate this material in the book, and to various other contributors, whose articles have been used as a whole or in part in the work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steam-Boiler Practice: In Its Relation to Fuels and Their Combustion and the Economic Results Obtained With Various Methods and Devices Steam-boiler practice as here comprehended is con cerned rather with the results obtained than with a detailed description of the methods and devices employed to secure the economical combustion of fuel in connection with a steam boiler. The design and construction/of the boiler, with its furnace and accessories, form the subject-matter of other works, and, therefore, do not require treatment here. Like wise special methods oi operation and devices for increasing the efficiency have elsewhere received their share of attention. There appears, however, to be a place for a work simple in its treatment and reasonably comprehensive in its character, which shall deal primarily with effects rather than with causes, which shall undertake to indicate the possible gain or loss to result from a given arrangement, and shall point the way toward securing the highest efficiency in steam-boiler practice. Such a work it has been the earnest endeavor to here present; a work neither too abstruse for the practical engineer nor too rudimentary for the technical student.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Economy of Fuel, Particularly With Reference to Reverberatory Furnaces for the Manufacture of Iron, and to Steam Boilers 6. There are few manufacturing processes that have not been greatly revolutionized, simplified, and extended within these fifty years, and had none but this narrow arched crania race been en gaged in them, these improvements would never have been made; for if no one can be found with sufficient knowledge, enterprise, and love of perfection, to be the first to try. A new thing, progress becomes impossible. Just the state of things in fact, which exists amongst many nations, whose civilization is stationary or retrograde, and whom we justly look upon as our inferiors laggards in the race of improvement, whose rank in the scale of.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steam Boilers and Combustion Unfortunately most of the books published are highly technical works dealing with what has been done and not with the possibilities of future development. This Spells a great danger to initiative - which is discounted to a great extent - by placing too much reliance on the past rather than encouraging a determined attack on future possibilities. A learned professor has gone farther than most in this direction when he asserted that engineers and boiler experts had been fostering wrong ideas in Spite of the fact that extended practice qualified present laws. His declaration that the theories accepted, and their laws, were utterly wrong, is a deduction from what his own experiments revealed.

This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Manual of Steam and Hot-Water Heating For about a quarter of a century the writer of these pages has been connected with those who manufacture and sell boilers and radiators for steam and hot-water heating. During this long period it has been his daily duty and privilege to answer the questions of architects, engineers, steam-fitters and house-owners in regard to every phase of the house-heating industry. To do this with some degree of intelligence on his own part, and to keep in touch with the remarkable development of the science of heating through the efforts of heating engineers during this period, has compelled him to; utilize every resource at his command and become a student of every phase of this somewhat complex subject. His duties have compelled him to visit frequently every section of our country and to become acquainted with the heating requirements of each. Many times during these years he has been urged by friends to give some presentation of heating principles in book-form. Experience has shown that in every doubtful problem, it was because some involved fundamental principle had not been fully understood. It has also demonstrated that the majority of those who do the practical work of measuring the buildings and erecting house-heating systems of steam or hot water require that the information they desire be given in simple terms of ordinary conversation, and not in scientific terms. In the present work I have endeavored to bring out every fundamental principle involved in the science of heating in a manner to meet that need. To a great number of authors who have preceded me I am indebted. There is scarcely a book published on the subject to whose author thanks are not due for some suggestion or fact. The list is too long for specific mention. To each, therefore, who in a way is quoted but is not given specific credit in the text, I now tender my thanks.

Download or read book Boiler Chemistry and Feed Water Supplies Classic Reprint written by James Hugh Paul and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boiler Chemistry and Feed Water Supplies Although the internal combustion engine may have a much extended future it does not at present compete with steam in large power plants. The steam boiler up to now is by no means a diminishing quantity, and any chemical knowledge which will increase its efficiency, preserve its life, and save coal deserves thought and consideration. Coal in the future is most likely to'be valued for its chemical products now destroyed in the furnace. Coal will have to be economized, and one way out of the difficulty will be to remove its valuable volatile products by distillation and use the residual cokes for steam-raising purposes. This may present difficulties at first, but these difficulties are not insuperable, and the same skill which has brought the furnace to its present state of perfection will be able to adapt it to the altered conditions. If it be more beneficial to the human race to utilize benzole for the manufacture of dyes and drugs than to burn it for raising steam, then the valuable benzole will be removed and the carbonaceous residues become the fuel of the future. Many of the chemical reactions herein described have been gathered from a long practical experience with high-pressure boilers working under varied-circumstances and conditions, and the analyses given in the text are original analyses made in the course of a somewhat extended practice. So far as possible, technical language and expressions have been avoided. The facts stated and the conclusions drawn have been described in the language of everyday life, so that those without more than a very limited acquaintance with chemistry may be able to understand and appreciate the results, and a chapter has been added explaining and illustra ting such technical expressions as it has been found necessary to use.
