Excerpt from House Heating Fuel Tests Article 1. Nature of Investigations. The amount of fuel burned in the average house heating plant is small compared with that consumed by a power plant, yet the very much larger number of houses and other buildings heated by inde pendent hot air furnaces and boilers make the aggregate of coke and coal burned by them no small item. A conservative estimate places the number of dwellings in Iowa equipped with house heating furnaces and boilers at not less than 100, 000. At an annual average fuel cost of each, which is also a low estimate, the amount paid out each year is 6% million dollars for warming the homes of Iowa that are equipped with such house heating plants. Other millions are spent for heating stores, Office buildings, etc., and for fuel burned in heating stoves. It is not hard to see the saving to the State to be gained by choosing such fuels as will save a few per cent on the above amounts, or by choosing such fuels as will reduce the care of fires and the damage from dirt and smoke to a minimum.

Excerpt from Tests of Coal and Briquets as Fuel for House-Heating Boilers The results indicate that coals containing the higher percentages of fixed carbon give the least smoke and are the most economical. While these tests were going on a general inquiry was being made into the question of central heating plants. The results obtained in this inquiry, when compared with the results of the tests on house heating boilers, Show that such plants are economical for the house holder and that they solve a part of the smoke problem in the cities. A brief summary of the results of this investigation is given on page 41. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Tests of Anthracite Coal in House Heating Boilers: Thesis During the past two years a number of house heating boiler trials have been conducted by the Engineering Experiment Station of the university of Illinois and the Fuel Testihg'pi - vision of the U. S. Geological Survey for establishing a standard method of testing, and determining the rela-f tive value of various fuels for use in residence heating boileré The tests described in this thesis were made in conjunction with those of the Engineering Experiment Station under a Mercer, and an Arco steam heating boiler, located in the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory at the University of Illinois.

Excerpt from A Study of Four Hundred Steaming Tests: Made at the Fuel-Testing Plant, St. Louis, Mo. In 1904, 1905, and 1906 It is also the intention of the boiler division to study the principles of fuel combustion to such advantage that much coal can be saved, and that cheap fuels can be used in certain operations where higher priced ones are now considered necessary. Such savings Will really redound to the benefit of producers of the best fuels of all grades quite as much as to the benefit of consumers. A number of new lines of work are suggested in the text; several of these it is planned to take up soon, and some of them may give data for determining the burning qualities of fuels independently of the apparatus in which the process takes place. Perhaps the most important reason for doing the research work, and for making SO many comparisons Of the data Obtained from all tests, was the feeling that the testing of fuels under boilers is at best only approximately comparative. In Short, it was the feeling that we were on the wrong track, without knowing Of a better one, which led us to do the research work.

Excerpt from Combustion Experiments With North Dakota Lignite The Bureau of Mines is conducting an extensive investigation of methods of burning different fuels under power-plant boilers and in house-heating furnaces, with a view to effecting improvement of the methods or equipment, thus decreasing waste and promoting a more efficient utilization of fuel resources. Some of the publications that the bureau has issued on the economical use of coal are Tech nical Paper 80, Hand Firing Soft Coal Under power-plant Boil ers; Technical Paper 97, Saving Fuel in Heating a House; Technical Paper 137, Combustion in the Fuel Bed of hand-fired Furnaces; Technical Paper 139, low-rate Combustion in Fuel Beds of hand-fired Furnaces; Technical Paper 180, Firing Bitu minous Coals in Large house-heating Boilers; Technical Paper 199, Five Ways of Saving Coal in Heating Houses; and Bulletin 135, Combustion of Coal and Design of Furnaces. This paper gives the results of combustion tests of North Dakota lignite burned in two forms - natural lignite as it comes from the mine and the carbonized residue from gas retorts. The tests were made by burning the fuels at various rates in experimental furnaces and by studying the processes of combustion. The information thus obtained was used in determining some of the general principles on which a successful furnace can be developed for use under power plant boilers and for house-heating apparatus. A small furnace of this character was designed and tested with promising results. All the experiments were conducted in the fuel-efficiency laboratory of the Bureau of Mines, at Pittsburgh, Pa.

Excerpt from Engine Tests and Boiler Efficiencies N this edition I have made considerable alterations and additions in almost every chapter of the book, especially in those parts which are concerned with the theory of indicators, the analysis of the working of their various parts, the description of new apparatus, such as indicators, with exterior Springs for use with high pressure engines, or when the steam has been superheated, explosion recorders for gas, petrol or alcohol engines, apparatus for reducing the scale of the reciprocating motion and the methods of setting it up, apparatus for verifying the flexibility of the Springs of the indicators, etc. I have also made some additions to the chapter on brakes. In the second edition I had added a chapter on transmission dynamo meters for use in measuring the work transmitted from the prime mover to the machine which it drives. This chapter, however, grew so large, especially that part of it which dealt with the theory of the dynamo brake, that it appeared better to make this the subject.
