Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive exploration of the gas engine and its revolutionary companion: the gas producer. It delves into the history of this technology, tracing its roots back to the pioneering work of Sir William Siemens and J. E. Dowson, who first perfected the use of gas producers for powering engines. The book goes beyond mere description, illuminating the complex chemical reactions at play within the gas producer and how they influence the production of powerful and efficient gas fuel. It examines the different types of gas producers, from suction gas plants, which operate by drawing in air and steam through the engine's suction stroke, to pressure plants, which utilize a separate blower to force air and steam into the producer. The author, drawing upon his extensive experience in the field, provides practical insights into the design and operation of these plants, with detailed illustrations and diagrams. He also discusses the nuances of fuel selection, emphasizing the importance of using anthracite coal or coke for optimal gas production. The book offers a thorough understanding of the fundamental principles that govern this burgeoning technology and its potential to revolutionize the production of cheap and reliable power. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
