Inhaltsangabe
In A Study of Boiler Losses, Kratz examines what keeps boilers from running at full efficiency and how to reduce those losses. The work documents experiments at a university power plant to understand boiler and furnace losses under different loads, depths of fuel bed, and drafts. It compares tests with fresh Mission Field coal and weathered coal from several mines to judge how weathering affects steaming quality and overall performance.
The report lays out a practical framework for evaluating where energy goes after coal is burned. It blends a detailed heat balance with measurements of gas composition, air leakage, and loss sources, offering a clear picture of how furnace and boiler losses interact and how improvements can raise overall efficiency. The material includes descriptions of the plant setup, the stoker and firing arrangement, and the methods used to conduct the tests.
What you’ll experience
- An explicit approach to separating furnace losses from boiler losses in a heat balance.
- Insights into how excess air and gas composition impact efficiency.
- Comparison of weathered versus fresh coal and its effect on steam generation.
- Diagrams and data supporting how depth of fuel bed and draft influence results.
Ideal for readers of engineering research and power plant operation who want a grounded, data‑driven view of boiler performance and possible efficiency improvements.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the causes for efficiency losses in steam boilers and furnaces in a university power plant. The author, a mechanical engineering professor, ran experiments on the plant's Babcock and Wilcox steam boiler to isolate and measure the individual losses. The first part of the study details the methodology of the experiment, while the second part discusses the results, which are then presented in tabular form. The author concludes that the largest loss was due to combustible in the ash, although notes that this loss decreased as excess air loss increased. Concluding, the author muses that an easy way to check boiler efficiency and furnace efficiency is to compare the values, since they should be nearly the same and any discrepancy will indicate a loss. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330485132_0
