Synopsis

Unlock the science behind steam injectors and how they move water with steam power. This concise treatise explains the action of the injector, its general theory, and the practical uses of steam-driven water delivery. It presents the mechanics in accessible terms, focused on engineering needs and real-world applications.

This edition translates and presents M. Leon Pochet’s original exploration of how a jet of steam can enter a boiler, condense water, and create a controlled flow without external pumps. It covers the conditions for proper operation, potential misfiring, and how temperature and pressure affect performance. Beyond boilers, the book surveys new uses and variations, including pumping gases, ventilating spaces, and even locomotive exhaust dynamics.

- Learn how the steam injector works step by step, from jet creation to water entrainment and delivery.
- See how temperature, pressure, and flow interact to produce reliable action.
- Discover alternative uses and improvements, including dual-pump designs and gas-pumping concepts.
- Understand the historical context and practical considerations for railway and industrial systems.

Ideal for readers of engineering history and practitioners seeking a compact, practical grounding in injector theory and its applications.
