Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Warm-Blast Steam-Boiler Furnace: A Report Upon a Series of Trials of an Apparatus for Transferring a Part of the Heat of Escaping Flue-Gases to the Furnace by Warming the Entering Air
The teachings of these experiments are little less valuable on their negative than on their positive side. It is hardly less worth while to know the absolute limitations of economy in coal combas tion to know what cannot be done, though quacks promise never so largely, as to learn by what means some part of the important loss of heat inevitable with existing arrangements, may be arrested and put to use at reasonable cost and without undue trouble or in convenience.
