Mechanical Draft.

BY J. H. KINEALY, M. Am. Soc. M.E.

_Past President American Society Heating and Ventilating Engineers._

PREFACE.

In writing this book the author has assumed that those who will use it are familiar with boilers and engine plants, and he has had in mind the practicing engineer who is called upon to design power plants, and who must therefore decide when it is best to use some form of mechanical draft. The arrangement of the book is what the experience of the author in making calculations for mechanical draft installations has shown him is probably the best. And he has tried to arrange the tables in such a way and in such a sequence that they may prove as useful to others as they have to him.

CONTENTS OF CHAPTERS.

1. GENERAL DISCUSSION. Introduction; systems of mechanical draft; chimneys v. mechanical draft; mechanical draft and economizers.

2. FORCED DRAFT. Systems; closed fire-room system; closed ashpit system; small fan required; usual pressure; forced draft and economisers; advantages; disadvantages.

3. INDUCED DRAFT. Introduction; temperature of gases; advantages; disadvantages.

4. FUEL AND AIR. Weight of coal to be burned; evaporation per lb. of coal; effect of rate of evaporation; weight of air required; volume of air and gases; volume of gases to handle; leakage; factor of safety.

5. DRAFT. Relation to rate of combustion; resistance of grate; resistance due to economizer; draft required under different conditions.

6. ECONOMIZERS. Effect of adding; ordinary proportion and cost; increase of temperature of feed water.

7. FANS. Type and proportions of fan used; relation between revolution of fan and draft; capacity of fan.

8. PROPORTIONING THE PARTS. Diameter of fan wheel required; speed at which the fan must run; power required to run the fan; size of engine required; steam used by fan engine; choosing the fan for forced draft, for induced draft without economizer, for induced draft with economizer; location of the fan; breeching and up-take; inlet chamber; discharge chimney; by-pass; water for bearings.

CENTRIFUGAL FANS. A THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL TREATISE ON Fans for Moving Air In Large Quantities At Comparatively Low Pressures.

BY J. H. KINEALY, M. Am. Soc. M.E. Past-President American Society Heating and Ventilating Engineers.

The matter in this book was a series of articles written for the _Engineering Review_. The favorable attention which they attracted lead the author to believe that there was a real demand for a book treating in a theoretical as well as a practical way on centrifugal fans. The articles have been thoroughly revised, added to, and made as complete as possible.

Contents of Chapters.

1. Flow of Air; Volume of Air Flowing; Pressure Necessary for required velocity. 2. Vortex; Vortex with Radial Flow. 3. Fans; First Type of Fans; Second or Guibal Type of Fans; Third Type of Fans; Modern Type. 4. Fan Wheel; Vanes or Floats; Inlet; Width. 5. Capacity; Blast Area; Effect of Outlet on Capacity; Air per Revolution. 6. Pressure; Work. 7. Horse Power Required to Run a Fan; Engine Required to Run a Fan; Motor Required to Run a Fan; Width of Belt. 8. Efficiency; Air per Horse Power. 9. Exhausters. 10. Housing; Dimensions of Housings; Shaft. 11. Cone Wheels. 12. Disk Fans; Number of Revolutions per Minute; Capacity of a Disk Fan; Horse Power Required. 13. Choosing a Fan. Index.

Twenty-two tables have been prepared and they have been arranged in the way, which the experience of the author in designing heating and ventilating plants has shown to be the most convenient. The tables are full and complete, all calculations having been very carefully checked, read and revised. XIV. + 206 pages, 39 diagrams. Full limp leather pocketbook.

CHARTS FOR LOW PRESSURE STEAM HEATING for the use of ENGINEERS, ARCHITECTS, CONTRACTORS AND STEAM FITTERS.

By J. H. KINEALY, M.E. _M. Am. Soc. M. E., M. Am. Soc. of H. and V. Eng'rs, &c., &c._

The author has long been in the habit of using charts to aid him in his work. Knowing the value of them in saving time, simplifying work and ensuring correct calculations he feels confident that they will be appreciated by engineers, architects and contractors, for whose benefit they have been compiled. Care has been taken to make the charts as clear and as easily understood and, above all, as accurate as possible. They have been based upon theoretical considerations, modified by what is considered to be good practice in this country.

CHART 1.--This chart is for determining the number of square feet of heating surface of a low pressure steam heating system, pressure not to exceed 5 lbs. per square inch by the gauge, necessary to supply the heat lost through the various kinds of wall surfaces of rooms. The chart is divided into four parts. CHART 2.--For determining the diameters of the supply and return pipes for a heating system. CHART 3.--For finding the number of square feet of boiler heating surface and the number of square feet of grate surface for a boiler that is to supply steam to a steam heating system. CHART 4.--For determining the area of the cross section of a square flue, or the diameter of a round flue, leading from an indirect radiation heater to the register in a room to be heated.

Full details are given for the use of these cards.

These four charts are printed on heavy white card-board and bound together with cloth, size 13 in. by 9-1/4 in., $1.00[++].

_These cards are securely packed for mail and sent to any part of the World on receipt of price._

Gas Analyst's Manual.

By JAQUES ABADY, M. Inst. Mech. E.

_(Incorporating F. W. Hartley's "Gas Analyst's Manual" and "Gas Measurement.)"_

EXTRACT FROM PREFACE.

The numerous requests received by the Publishers for the late Mr. F. W. Hartley's "Gas Analyst's Manual" and "Gas Measurement" form the justification of the present work, which embodies practically the entire contents of those two volumes. It has been found, however, that their scope was too narrow to comply with modern requirements in various directions, although ample at the time they were written, and so I have ventured to add such extensions as appeared to be necessary in order to meet the demand which exists for a comprehensive work on Gas Apparatus and its use.

This large work has been in course of preparation for the past three years by Mr. Jaques Abady, and has been very carefully revised by other experts.

Many valuable tables of data have been included, a number of which come from the private note books of the Author, being practically results obtained by him during many years of work as Expert, Gas Engineer and Gas-Works Materials Manufacturer.

CONTENTS OF CHAPTERS.

1.--Photometry (58 pages.) 2.--The table photometer and Photometer Room (38 pages.) 3.--Standard of Light (32 pages.) 4.--Calorimetry and Specific Gravity, with a note on Mond Gas (48 pages.) 5.--The Referees' Test for Sulphur and Ammonia in Gas (28 pages.) 6.--Coal Testing (22 pages.) 7.--Testing Enrichment and Purification Materials (33 pages.) 8.--Purity Tests for Gas in the Various Stages of its Manufacture (43 pages.) 9.--Testing Bye-products (35 pages.) 10.--Technical Gas Analysis (63 pages.) 11.--Meter-Testing Apparatus (48 pages.) 12.--Meter and Governor Testing (34 pages.) Appendix. Data, Tables, FormulÊ, etc., (38 pages).

And very complete Contents, Index and List of Illustrations, and Tables, &c. &c. XV+560 pages, 5-1/2 ◊ 8-1/2 in., 93 illustrations and 9 folding plates.
