Gas Puddling and Heating Furnaces.— The “ Casson-Bicheroux ” System.* I believe that the first practical results in the way of puddling and heating by gas may be eredited to Sir C. W. Siemens, although experiments had been previously made in what may be termed “ semi-gas-furnaces ” by Mr. John Jucks and others. I have no means at command of giving the exact date when the first gas-puddling furnaces were attempted by Sir C. W, Siemens, but I recol- lect that in 1862 he made trials at the Earl of Dudley’s Round Oak Iron Works, which, however, did not prove a success. In order to ascertain the reasons why the results were not satisfactory on that occasion, I wrote to Mr, Job Richards, the then works manager, for an explanation, and in reply he has handed to me extracts from his diary, showing the daily results ef the ex- periments, while giving it as his opinion that their failure was due to the want of efficient control over the gas and air, and, consequently, to an insufficiency of heat. In my own opinion, however, the failure | was due to the non-application of blast to | the ‘‘ gas producers,” which my experience has shown to be desirable with South Staf- fordshire coal. named, Messrs. Siemens have cessful in puddling with gas at sev- eral works, notably at Messrs. Nettle- folds’, Wellington, Salop, and I have pleasure in presenting herewith the re- been suc- sults obtained at the works in question. The | furnace known as the ‘ Boetius,” arranged | with a gas producer instead of the ordinary | grate, was applied to ali the puddling fur- naces erected at a small Thames which I visited in 1873. The works were nt then in operation, but one of the proprietors informed me that they worked | very satisfactorily and economically. The same system is now in operation at a glass- works at Warrington, where it is, I believe, giving satisfactory results. The late Mr. John Price, of Wo lwich, patented a heating fur- nace in 1873, but whether it can be strictly considered a gas furnace is questionable. It is, however, said to be in successful oper- | ation at Woolwich Arsenal. Mr. W. S. Sutherland, of Birmingham, at the meeting of the Institute in May last, read a paper on his system of gas heating which is fully de- scribed in the Journal! of this Institute. Mr. Jeans, in the course of his important paper read last year, on the ‘‘Consumption and Economy of Fuel,” referred to the econom- ical results obtained by the ‘‘ Casson-Bich- eroux” puddling and reheating furnaces, and more recéntly the President of our In- stitute, Mr. Samuelson, noted the excellent results obtained in Belgium by the use of this arrange.nent. I therefore hope that it may be of interest to the Institute to sup- plement these data by giving a brief descrip- tion of the furnace as it is applied at several important works in this country. It is now generally admitted, especially by German and Belgian ironmasters, that no system of heating yet in practice is so satis- factory in its results as that in which fuel in the gaseous state is employed. Not only is there a saving in the weight of coal con- sumed and in the price of the fuel used, but this system embodies advantages of still greater importance in an improved quality and yield of iron, steel or other metal treated. The only question is, Which system of gas- heating is the best ana most economical for any .given purpose { As stated at the com- mencement of this paper,we are indebted to the Messrs. Siemens for a practical gas fur- nace giving such satis- factory results as to warrant its adoption wherever suflicient cap- ital is at command. There are, however, many old and respect- able firms with much capital tied up in plant, &c. There are also others who have neither the capital nor the inclination to spend large sums. It is more especially to such that my system may be of value. scribed, it is as follows : 1. Each furnace has attached to it a sep- arate gas producer, which may be placed at any reasonable distance from the back of the furnace itself..The gas evolved is either exhausted by draft or forced out by blast, according to the nature of the coal. 2. The producer is fed from a large hopper communicating by valves with the ordinar coal-feeders, thus dispensing with any hand- shoveling. 3. The air is heated by passing first into a cast-iron box forming the base of the gas- producer, thence into iron or clay pipes built in the producer and protected by a pigeon- holed fire-brick wall, then along the side walls of the gas flue until it reaches the un- der side and crown of the fire-bridge, where it passes in streams, mixing with the gas sufficiently early to produce any degree of heat that may be required. * Read by Mr. R. Smith-Casson, at the Middles- boro’ meeting of the British Iron and Steel Insti- tute, September 22, 1883. Briefly de- Since the period above | works on the | 4. In Staffordshire and Yorkshire, where this system has been at work for several years, it has been found necessary, owing to the nature of the coal, to apply blast both for gas and air. 5. It will be seen that in heating the air regenerators are not employed, and that the waste gases used for heating these can be utilized for generating steam or other pur- poses, as in the case of ordinary puddling furnaces fired by coal. 6. For the same reason existing furnaces need not be interfered with beyond making gas connections; consequently, the cost of applving gas to old furnaces becomes a mat- ter of very small outlay. 7. Except when necessary to obtain a re- ducing flame, no smoke whatever can be seen from the tops of the chimneys, the dampers of which are never more than about 6 inches high. 8. Each furnace has attached to it two | | | | | | | — ELEVATION OF CENERATOR — SMITH-CASSON’S | levers Communicating with the blast-valves, | whereby the furnaceman can control to a nicety the quantity of gas or hot air he may | require. | 9g. Owing to the mechanical feeding ar- rangements, one stoker is sufficient for three ‘or four mill-heating furnaces. The puddling | | furnace as constructed on my system differs | from the heating furnace, first, in having the roducer fixed immediately behind the fire- | Gales without any intermediate gas-flue ; | second, in the different method of heating the air,—i. e., in passing it under the neck and bottom of the furnace. The gas and air are | | worked under pressure, and the stroking ar- ' rangements are similar to those in the heat- At the Round Oak Iron Works, all the} ing furnace. | heating furnaces of the 22-inch, 16-inch and | | 12-inch trains are constructed on this sys- | |tem, as well as the ball furnace and the | ' single and double puddling furnaces of one | forge, the largest heating furnace being 11 feet 3 inches by 11 feet by 2 feet 5 inches. | |The other forge is on the Casson-Dormoy -_ \ oe i ‘and five years. There are eight puddling principle, but these latter furnaces will be replaced by gas furnaces as they wear out. I may mention that slack only is used ag it comes from the pit, if of good quality ; if not, the fine dust is removed in revolving firing 7 weal usa ee screens and consumed under the boilers by means of Henders»n’s mechanical strokers. The following comparative results of the Siemens and Casson-Bicheroux furnaces may be of intere§t, as also the statements of trials, &c.: The Siemens system has been in use by Nettlefolds (Limited), at the Castle fron Works, Wellington, Salop, for 12 years. At these mills there are 27 puddling and 6 heating furnaces. The fuel used is Shrop- shire lump coal and slack mixed—about equa! to best Staffordshire rough slack. Taking the average for the past three years, it is found that the consumption of fuel per | ton (2240 pounds) of wire and guide-mill ‘iron made was 1 ton Ig cwt. 3% pounds, SAE i) Cree oe il ae —_ RATOR 5 yh ' a “HET TAA = I ri — SS : = - == LE GAS FLUE Se IMPROVED GAS FURNACES FOR PUDDLING This includes gas for puddling and heating, and fuel for boilers. The Casson-Bicheroux system has been in use at Morewood & Co.’s, Woodford Iron Works, Soho, between four furnaces, puddling 13-ewt. heats, two large ball furnaces, and seven mill-heating fur- naces. The fuel used in the eight furnaces is coal slack, the consumption for puddling being 18 ewt. 2 quarters. In the ball and mili-heating furnaces the fuel employed varies with the class of iron.

The advantages of the regenerative gas furnaces, as compared with solid fuel furnaces work- ing under the same conditions, are a saving of about one-half the consumption of fuel aud a saving of about one-half the waste of iron Besides these they offer the further important advantages of cleanliness and of better work, owing to the absence of ashes and of cold (Continued on page 5.)
