Riguardo questo articolo

Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed yet approachable guide to testing steam boilers with a focus on economic performance. It brings together principles of scientific testing to assist in determining the heat efficiency of the boiler and promoting reforms in industrial steam boiler usage. Initially, the author discusses basic principles such as sources of waste and heat value of fuels before moving on to the apparatus and techniques for conducting thorough boiler tests. Furthermore, the book covers the analysis of the resulting data and its implications for evaluating economic performance. The author emphasizes the importance of accurate measurements and the identification of losses to maximize efficiency. By following the methods outlined in this book, engineers and technicians will be well-equipped to enhance the efficiency of steam boilers in their industrial settings. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Riassunto

Excerpt from Notes on Boiler Testing

Stokgng. T - E - In crde1 'to illustrate the personal element iirtrcduced in good and bad stoking, we may quote the competition which was carried out at Messrs. Davey Brothers', of Sheffield. Five stokers were made to fire. The same boiler with, the same coal and with the steam pressure about the same. The best stoker was able to obtain an evaporation of 91b. Of water per pound of coal, the worst evaporation being lb. Per pound of coal. The difference is here 22 per cent. The opportunities afforded for in creasing the efficiency of the: boilers. Were, in this. Instance limited. A well-laid fire, which by constant attention is prevented from. Burning into holes, is one of the chief items in securing a high. Evaporation. Keeping the fire bars clean, and regulating the dampers for a maximum quantity of air just after firing contributes greatly to high efficiency. Beyond these points. There is little opportunity for exercising skill in stoking, and yet these tests show clearly how very important the simple operations involved in firing a boiler become. The very simplicity is one cause for neglect.
