Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a practical guide to maximizing the efficiency of boiler furnaces, a crucial element in steam power generation. Written at the turn of the 20th century, it reflects the growing awareness of energy conservation and the need to optimize fuel consumption in industrial settings. The author, a combustion engineer, advocates for a scientific approach to furnace management, rejecting traditional, often haphazard, practices. He stresses the importance of flue gas analysis, a technique that was then considered highly specialized, arguing that it is the key to understanding and controlling combustion processes. The book breaks down the complexities of combustion, explaining the principles of air-fuel ratios, the significance of carbon dioxide levels in flue gases, and the detrimental effects of excess air. It then explores a variety of practical techniques for identifying and mitigating air leakage in boiler settings, optimizing draft levels, and managing the fuel bed for maximum efficiency. This book offers valuable insights into the early development of combustion engineering and remains relevant today, demonstrating the enduring importance of scientific principles in managing industrial energy systems. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332056583_0
