Synopsis
Excerpt from Railroad Engineering, Vol. 2: Instruction Paper
These deposits are injurious in two ways. In the first place the transfer of heat from the fire to the water is less free and there is thus a waste of energy, and in the next place the metal becomes overheated and perhaps burned. The safety of the metal of a boiler depends on the free transfer of the intense heat of the fire to the comparatively low heat of the water or steam. The prevention of these deposits may be accomplished in one (or both) of two ways; the frequent cleaning of the boilers through the manholes and handholes provided for the purpose, and by the more or less perfect purification of the water before it enters the boiler.
