Excerpt from The Analysis, Technical Valuation, Purification, and Use of Coal Gas
The condenser is essentially a quantity of iron pipes, which are in communication at the bottom with an iron chest-like receiver, into which the tar and ammoniacal liquor fall, and from which they run into subterranean stores, like large wells. The condenser acts by trans mitting heat from the gas and vapours within to the external air or water in contact with its outer surface, and by this the gases and vapours are cooled so as to separate the one from the other. The vapours become fluids, and fall into the wells; and the gases pass on to be purified, stored, and used. About ten feet Of con denser-surface for each thousand feet of gas made per day is allowed by the best engineers, but very wide departures from this proportion are familiar to all who are acquainted with gasworks as they exist in fact.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, written by an expert in the field, offers a comprehensive examination of gas analysis and use for modern readers. It begins with the historical evolution of gas purification and delves into its five distinct periods, setting the stage for the author's revolutionary work in the field. The author details their groundbreaking process for removing sulfur compounds from gas using heated lime, a method that not only purifies gas but also renders it innocuous to the environment, thereby addressing a major nuisance faced by gasworks at the time. The text also explores other aspects of gas analysis, including condensation and various purification methods, providing valuable insights for engineers and chemists involved in the production and use of gas. With its in-depth exploration of gas analysis and use, this book serves as a reliable guide for professionals seeking to optimize their practices and stay abreast of the latest developments in the field. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
