Discover how Hartley District coal can cut smoke and boost boiler efficiency. This historical study examines practical methods to burn Northumberland’s Hartley coal in standard marine boilers, aiming to reduce smoke without sacrificing power or fuel economy.
The reports detail a series of real-world tests on a common multitubular boiler, comparing several competing smoke-prevention ideas. Readers gain a clear view of what works, what doesn’t, and why these findings matter for steam navigation.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book's subject is the "smoke problem" that adversely affected marine travel in the 19th century. In 1855 a competition was launched in Britain to solve this problem. This book reports on the competition's results, with detailed accounts of the testing process for the various submitted plans and analysis comparing the results of the top plans against the standard of reference and against each other. Also, the book includes a discussion of the combustion process, and how different methods of applying air to the combustion process affect the prevention of smoke. The author's analysis shows that air should be admitted at the furnace door or at the bridge, or at both. Furthermore, the analysis shows these methods can also lead to improvements in efficiency and increased power of the ship's boiler.
