Sinopsis
Excerpt from University of Illinois Engineering Experiment Station Circular, April, 1918: Fuel Economy in the Operation of Hand Fired Power Plants
Approximately tons of bituminous coal are used with in the state Of Illinois, and of this amount about tons are consumed in hand fired power plants. It is believed to be Within the limits of practical attainment to effect a saving of from 12 to 15 per cent of this fuel. Expressed in tons and dollars, such a saving amounts to tons, or The possible saving in the case Of many individual plants is much greater than the percentage stated.
It is the purpose of this circular to present to owners, managers, superintendents, engineers, and firemen of hand fired power plants certain suggestions which, it is believed, will help them in effecting greater fuel economy in the Operation of their plants, and in deter mining the properties and characteristics of the coal purchased. Fea tures Of installation essential to the proper combustion of fuel are dis cussed and their importance emphasized; the practice to be Observed in the Operation of the plant is outlined; and the employment of sim ple devices for indicating conditions of operation is prescribed.
