Excerpt from Power Gas Producers: Their Design and Application; With 105 Illustrations
Public competitive trials, such as those held by the Royal Agricultural Society of England at their Derby meeting in June 1 906, and by the Highland and West of Scotland Society at Glasgow in 1905, to which full references are hereafter made, have likewise been organised for the purpose of demonstrating the suitability of the new gas power for general purposes, and the performance of the various plants exhibited on these occa sions has been such as to call forth the fullest approbation from the judges appointed to conduct the tests.
The conclusions which may be drawn from these general facts are full of significance for the future and are bound to have an important bearing on industrial economics. In this country, at any rate, cheap power is an important desideratum. The power demand of eighty per cent. Of British manufacturers is under 300 and steam driven units of this size are comparatively uneconomical. The choice for motive power, therefore, usually lies between electrical energy taken from the Public Supply, and a private source of power from gas producers and gas engines. The former is, broadly speaking.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive exploration of the gas engine and its revolutionary companion: the gas producer. It delves into the history of this technology, tracing its roots back to the pioneering work of Sir William Siemens and J. E. Dowson, who first perfected the use of gas producers for powering engines. The book goes beyond mere description, illuminating the complex chemical reactions at play within the gas producer and how they influence the production of powerful and efficient gas fuel. It examines the different types of gas producers, from suction gas plants, which operate by drawing in air and steam through the engine's suction stroke, to pressure plants, which utilize a separate blower to force air and steam into the producer. The author, drawing upon his extensive experience in the field, provides practical insights into the design and operation of these plants, with detailed illustrations and diagrams. He also discusses the nuances of fuel selection, emphasizing the importance of using anthracite coal or coke for optimal gas production. The book offers a thorough understanding of the fundamental principles that govern this burgeoning technology and its potential to revolutionize the production of cheap and reliable power.
