Excerpt from Additional and Fresh Evidence of the Practical Working of Pirsson's Steam Condenser: For Furnishing an Ample and Continuous Supply of Pure Fresh Water for the Boilers of Ocean Steamers and for the Use of Passengers and Crew
Economy in our naval service is essential to its prosperity and well-being, but the hand of penury may be equally fatal to it. Thousands of dollars may be annually saved by the adoption of this important improvement, the efficiency and greater duration of the vessel ensured, and the safety of human life and the national honor may be the better guarded.
Copy of a letter from Commodore Charles Stewart, U. States Navy, to a friend in Washington.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a deep dive into the history of steam engines used for maritime purposes. The author presents a comprehensive analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of using salt water as a means of generating steam power for marine engines. Key concerns include the density and chemical impact of salt water on boilers and engines and the necessity to blow off super-salted water. The author introduces the invention of a condenser that can supply marine engines with fresh water to replace the use of salt water. This invention significantly increases the power of steam engines, reduces the cost of repairs, eliminates the need for copper in construction, extends the lifespan of iron boilers, lowers fuel consumption, and obviates the formation of scale. The book also includes testimonials from engineers and ship captains who have successfully used the condenser, highlighting its effectiveness and the substantial benefits it offers to the maritime industry. 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 # 9781332862689_0
