About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ...Most boilers are fitted with a low-water alarm consisting of a fusible plug made of an alloy that readily melts above a certain temperature. The melting of this plug, when the surface of the water has fallen below a certain level, allows the steam to blow into the firebox, giving due warning of the danger, and thereby avoiding an explosion. Boilers are also supplied with mud-drums for the collection of the sediment in the boiler, and blow-off valves and manholes for the proper cleaning of the boiler, and a feed-pump or injector for forcing water into the boiler. There should be also suitable check valves and a valve at the steam pipe. Other fittings are the feedwater heater and the steam separator. By the former the water fed into the boiler is first heated to a certain temperature by the exhaust steam of the engine. The steam separator is used for the purpose of drying the steam before it passes into the cylinder of the engine. Ques. 15.--What kind of power would you prefer for running your pumps if you were working a seam of coal subject to local dips? Ans.--In this case it will probably be necessary to carry the power a considerable distance into the mine and distribute it to different points where pumps are located. Where this arrangement is necessary, electric or compressed air power is preferable to steam power. The condensation of steam in long pipe lines and the nuisance of the exhaust steam when the pump is located at any distance from the foot of the shaft, as well as the injurious effect of the exhaust steam on the roof and timbers in the mine, render it undesirable to carry steam into the workings. In a gassy mine, compressed air should be used under the given conditions, in order to avoid the risk of igniting the gas by the...
