This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1900 Excerpt: ... is carried back to a feed tank in the boiler-room, and steam used by the feed pump exhausts into the same tank. There was some leakage of joints in the steam piping which has not been allowed for. The valves and pistons of the highpressure cylinder were practically tight. The valves of the low-pressure cylinder were tight, but the piston contained a loosely fitting packing ring and leaked very badly. The load consisted of cordage machinery. The interest in this test centers upon the effect which was produced by excessive leakage through the low-pressure piston. In a well jacketed engine the steam accounted for by the indicator is nearly as great in the low-pressure cylinder as in the high pressure cylinder. In this case there is a reduction from.075 to.435, or 24$ of the total weight of steam consumed, and this is evidently due to the leakage referred to. Character of steam Ordinary Duration 2.85 hrs. Weight of feed-water consumed 11.32;") lbs. Feed-water consumed per hour 3,973.7 lbs. Pressure in steam pipe above atmosphere 120.6 lbs. Vacuum in condenser 27 ins.

Engine No. 39 is a single valve, cross compound, unjacketed engine, with a shaft governor operating on the cut-off of the high-pressure cylinder. The valves are of the piston type provided with an inefficient ring packing. A jet condenser is used, operated by an independent air-pump driven with steam taken from the engine pipe. The quantity thus used was determin...
