Page 180 - It was found that where a bed of coal was ignited and burned out, the percentage of carbon in the ash is much less than where coal is successively added to the burning mass. In practice it is not generally possible to allow the bed to burn out sufficiently before adding the cold, unignited coal ; the result is a damping down of the fire, which causes the ash to cease burning sooner than it would do if there were no reduction of temperature and checking of the draught due to the adding of the coal....
Page 181 - It also changes the color, volume, and character of the flame, and, owing to producer action, increases the distance that the flame extends beyond the bridge-wall. In many cases it is not practical, or at least it is very difficult, to fire the smaller sizes of coal without the steam jet on account, of the clinkering. This effect of steam on clinkering is probably due to the fact that the steam, to a certain extent, moistens the ash close to the grate and prevents the ash from reaching there at as...

To have the furnace so arranged that the combustion should be continuous and uniform ; that is to say, that when the furnace was in use the condition of the fire would be practically the same at any hour of any day of any week of the year. 3d. To make the work of firing as easy as possible, so that a minimum number of firemen would be employed, and that the whole operation of the furnace would be controlled by an intelligent man who would have more use...
Page 180 - ... with a forced draught, obtained in one case by a fan and in the other by a steam jet, which showed : — First. — That the ashes produced by a steam jet were never as low in carbon as those produced by the fan ; that is, an appreciably larger per cent. of the carbon was utilized by the fan-blast. This appears to be due to the fact that when the carbon in the ash over the grate is reduced to a certain point the steam dampens it somewhat, and it ceases to burn sooner than it does when dry air...
Page 180 - A series of careful experiments were made with a forced draught, obtained in one case by a fan and in the other by a steam jet, which showed : — First. — That the ashes produced by a steam jet were never as low in carbon as those produced by the fan ; that is, an appreciably larger per cent. of the carbon was utilized by the fan-blast.
