BABCOCK & WILCOX SUPERHEATERS 



IN SERVICE 



A has been stated, The Babcock & Wilcox Co. began building superheaters 

 in 1898. Since that time they have installed Babcock & Wilcox super- 

 heaters in boilers of their manufacture aggregating over 1,650,000 horse 

 power. These installations are in boilers supplying steam in plants representing 

 practically every industry in which steam is used, and their successful performance 

 is evidenced by the very large number of repeat orders. 



In the consideration of the purchase of a superheater, an important factor is 

 the responsibility of the manufacturer. That engineers as a whole realize the 

 obvious advantage of having a single manufacturer responsible for the boiler and 

 the superheater, rather than having such responsibility divided between two manu- 

 facturers, is shown by the fact that of all the boilers of The Babcock & Wilcox 

 Company's manufacture which are equipped with superheaters, over 85 per cent 

 are equipped with Babcock & Wilcox superheaters. 



There follows a partial list of the users of Babcock & Wilcox superheaters 

 and a classification of installations by industries, the horse power of boilers in 

 which superheaters are installed being given in each instance.
