thirty-two per cent of the total heat, 

 may be as low as ten to twelve per cent 

 without smoke or incomplete combustion. 

 These figures are found in the fuel test 

 reports of the United States Geological 

 Survey under Illinois coals. The fol- 

 lowing tabulation will serve to indicate 

 how the heat generated in a boiler fur- 

 nace may be distributed when operating 

 under poor, average and best conditions: 



Percentage of Heat. 



Poor Average Best 



Condition. Condition. Condition. 



Absorbed by the 

 boiler 50.0 65.0 75.0 



Carried away In 

 dry chimney 

 gases 24.0 16.0 10.0 



Radiation and un- 

 accounted for 

 losses 16.0 12.0 10.0 



Moisture formed by 

 burning of hy- 

 drogen 4.0 3.5 3.0 



Evaporating moist- 

 ure in coal 2.0 2.0 1.5 



Incomplete c o m- 

 bustlon of carbon 5.0 1.5 0.5 



Total heat 100.0 100.0 100.0 



"The per cents given in the last col- 

 umn of this tabulation are seldom at- 

 tained in present practice, but they are 

 by no means impossible. They represent 

 conditions for which we should continu- 

 ally strive. Losses of twenty to twenty- 

 five per cent are not unusual, both with 

 and without smoke. Too little air is 

 wrong. ^ Too much air is wrong. Ab- 

 solutely complete combustion can be ob- 

 tained using Illinois coal burped on an 

 automatic stoker with as low as thirty 

 per cent excess of air. The question is 

 one of proper furnace construction to 

 meet the requirements of the fuel, 

 coupled with a good fireman and an 

 intelligent use of instruments which will 

 tell him at all times the conditions of the 

 combustion and draft."
