Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the optimal combustion of hand-fired power plants in a straightforward, informative manner. The author provides a thorough overview of fuels available in the Midwest during the early 1900s, emphasizing the analysis of their properties and characteristics. The book delves into the significance of draft conditions, stack and breeching, feed water heating and purification, and steam piping requirements for fuel economy in the operation of hand-fired power plants. The author highlights the crucial role of CO2 levels, excess air, and air leaks in assessing the efficiency of the combustion process. Along with fuel economy, the book also addresses the broader issue of fuel conservation in the context of World War 1, emphasizing the importance of cooperation between owners, managers, and workers for achieving greater efficiency. It encourages the adoption of simple devices to monitor operating conditions, such as draft gauges and CO2 analyzers, in order to optimize fuel utilization. The author concludes by calling for a combined effort to improve fuel economy and conserve resources, emphasizing its significance in the face of increasing fuel demand and the need for sustainable practices.
