Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Analysis, Technical Valuation, Purification, and Use of Coal Gas

The condenser is essentially a quantity of iron pipes, which are in communication at the bottom with an iron chest-like receiver, into which the tar and ammoniacal liquor fall, and from which they run into subterranean stores, like large wells. The condenser acts by trans mitting heat from the gas and vapours within to the external air or water in contact with its outer surface, and by this the gases and vapours are cooled so as to separate the one from the other. The vapours become fluids, and fall into the wells; and the gases pass on to be purified, stored, and used. About ten feet Of con denser-surface for each thousand feet of gas made per day is allowed by the best engineers, but very wide departures from this proportion are familiar to all who are acquainted with gasworks as they exist in fact.
