Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in 1910, offers a practical guide to the production and application of compressed air in engineering and mining. The author describes the main types of compressor used at the time as well as their operation and maintenance, including the use of steam engines, water power and electric motors. In addition to the machinery itself, the book also examines how best to convey compressed air through piping, how to store and regulate it, and how to use it to power machinery such as rock drills, pumps, and locomotives. While the book necessarily reflects the state of technology of the time, the author also includes theoretical considerations that underpin effective compressor use and design. The emphasis throughout is on efficiency and economy in compressed air production and application, and as such the book provides timeless insights and advice for readers with an interest in engineering and mining.
