The Automatic A boiler of new and interesting design, of the water-tube type, has just been brought out by the Chicago Automatic Boiler Com- pany, 185 Dearborn street, Chicage, Ill. It is known as the Automatic boiler, and its main features are well shown in the engray- ings on this page. It is made with two water-heads, a series of tubes through which the water circulates, a float, and a series of tubes for the drying of steam. heavy plates of steel, and stayed by bolts, as | shown in cuts. The water-tubes A open at each end into the water-heads, and are expanded into these heads in the usual way. The water-heads D are made of | | | the steam head A’ is provided. Fitted into the outer sheet of each water- | head, and directly opposite each water-tube, is a malleable-iron cap, special thread. In like manner are arranged N, provided with a} and fitted tubes B and tubes C, the latter | opening at one end into the steam-head A’. The float-chamber is located at one side of the tubes C, and is provided at each end’ will | water-head | chamber, and ascends to the chambers E E and to the drying tubes C ( when it passes to the engine in the usual way. By the arrangement of fire walls K shown in Fig. 2, the course of the heat is | such that it passes diagonally three times | across the tubes, before it reaches the space in which are located the drying tubes or when it escapes to the smoke- stack. Thus practically the greatest amount of heat possible is obtained from the fuel for generating steam, and before it is allowed to escape it does service in super-heating. The super-heating tubes being above the water- line, will necessarily expand more than those below. To admit of this extra expansion 3etween the water-head and the stsam-head A’ is placed the friction roll on which the head A’ moves. The blow-off cock I is located in the low- est point of the water-head, where all the impurities of the water naturally settle. The feed-pipe is preferredly placed at a point above, so that the inflow of water not continually force the sediment Fig. 1.—Front View. with cast-iron reducers, and short tubes | which are expanded into the water-heads. Located in this chamber is the float, which is provided with an opening in its upper side for the inlet of steam, and with a cock to be operated from the outside of the walls. Should water, by any means, accumulate in the float, by simply opening the cock it will be blown out. However, an accumulation of water in the device is practically impos- sible, the steam pressure inside and out be- ing equal, and any water that wight pass in would soon evaporate. The float is provided | with a counterbalance that admits one-half its area being submerged. With so great a displacement, the float acts promptly on a duplex pump, thus giving a constant supply and keepirg the water at the same level month in and month out. The float extends from one end of the float-chamber to the other, the center of the chamber being the water line. As the return flow of water to tubes A is partly through this float-chamber, the float is agitated all along the boiler, and not simply at one point where the water may be agitated more or less than at an- other. ‘The rear water-head is connected to the steam-head A’ by means of the pipe F. Each water-head is made to rest on the brick walls, which form their support, thus dis- pensing with expensive truss work. The rear water-head and the steam-head rest on friction rolls, which admits of expansion and contraction of the tubes, and prevents any strain of the brickwork. For burning soft coal, each boiler, when desired, is con- structed with a special furnace and stoker, as shown in Fig. 2. The water is fed to the boiler through the feed-pipe H, and then circulates through the tubes A, rising in the tubes, as the water,be- comes hot, to the fropt water-head. As steam is generated, it is liberated at each ‘outer sheet, THE AUTOMATIC BOILER, BUILT back into the tubes. The builders direct special attention to this feature of pro- viding what is practically a mud drum, below the line of circulation, and which is not also the water-feed point, as in many other boilers. One very important feature in the Auto- matic boiler is the use of a vibrating grate furnace, by which a constant and even sup- ply of air is given for combustion. All | grates are operated at once, at the will of the fireman, from the outside, by means of a lever. The bars having a trough-like top hold ashes sufficient to act as a complete non-conductor, preventing the grates from burning out, or even springing. The duplex steam pump is used exclusively with all Automatic boilers. The boiler is made prac- steam arch; Q, ash stoker; S, iron grate .bars; P, combustion pit; R, wheel for working plate over coal magazine. ’ - I The Comparative Value of Steam ana Hot Water for Transmitting Heat and Power.* BY CHAS. E. EMERY. (Concluded from page 18, July 21,) An. average presentation of this branch of the subject may be had by examining the pressure available when the hot water and steam are used to furnish steam for power. In the case of the hot water, in order to evaporate about ro per cent. of its volume into steam, the reduction in tem- perature will be that due to a fall in press- | ure of 165 pounds, or from 235 down to 70 | pounds. In a steam system this entire dif- ference of pressure may be used as the energy which transports the sieam to the BY THE CHICAGO AUTOMATIC point where it is used, and as the pump- | ing pressure on the principles above | expressed must be double this, the} circulating pump would require to work | against a pressure of 330 pounds to compete with steam, and 10.2 times as much water | must be pumped with the water plant as | would be required by the steam plant ; also | the water for the water plant must be/| pumped twice—once at the high pressure of 330 pounds to circulate it in the pipes, and again at 235 pounds to pump it into the boiler, whereas with the steam plant one- tenth of the quantity of water would be pumped and but once—viz., into the boiler. | It may, however, be claimed that the steam plant must be charged with the power | required to return the water of condensation. tically without riveted joints or seams, has |The water is returned in practice by the no shell, and is pronounced non-explosive. Instead of iron plate yy to 7, inch thick, as in shell boilers, tubes only %-inch thick are used, through which the heat passes much more quickly, and steam is generated correspondingly faster. In Fig. 1, which represents a front view, A’ is the steam-head; R, the wheel for working the stoker, and E’* denotes the point at the bridge (not shown) over which the steam passes toG. In Fig. 2, the let- ters A A A designate the tubes through which water flows to the front head ; B, the tubes through which water returns to the rear head ; B’, the automatic float-chamber C, superheating or steam-drying tubes; D, water spaces, front and rear; E, steam spaces, front and rear; F, pipe connecting rear water-head and steam-head A’; G, steam outlet ; H, water feed pipe; I, blow- off cock ; J, fuel magazine; K, heat-deflect- ing walls; K’', heat-deflecting walls, bori- zontal; M, finger of stoker; N, plugs in opposite flues; O, vibrating pressure in the heating systems or by steam operating pumps, or pump traps which exhaust into the heating systems, so that no heat is wasted, and the losses are too incon- siderable to mention in comparison with the handicgps of the water system. The hot water circulated has been called ** superheated water,” because it is hotter than 212°, but, of course, water cannot be superheated in the scientific sense that its temperature exceeds that due to its pressure. Steam may be superheated and must always have as high a temperature as that due to its pressure, Water cannot be superheated, but it may, of course, have a pressure greater than is due to its temperature—in other words, be sub-heated, which is the condition that the so-called superheated water would be in when maintained at constant pressure the moment it imparted any heat to another object. Reference must be finally had to *Paper presented at the w ashington mee ting of | the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, May 31-June 3, 1887. | BOILER COMPANY, | heat in one point, which has been made to appear very important on paper. The followiug quotation may be made : ‘* The fuel cost of the power developed by the steam-engines employed ia [hot water] system for circulating the superheated water in the hot water pipe, for pumping the used water from the return pipe into the boiler, for driving the blowers, if a mechanical supply of air is needed for the combustion of the coal, and for hoisting coal and its refuse, will, owing to the peculiarity of the system, be not over one-twelfth of the similar cost per horse-power developed in the most eco- nomical steam engines employed in other | work. In fact, the only coal required to} work these circulating, pumping, blowing | and hoisting steam-engines is what furnishes | the heat actually transformed into work ac- cording to the thermodynamical theory, and | to supply the loss of heat by conduction and radiation from the external surfaces |of these engines. The cooled water from | the return pipe will be in such excess- ive quantity compared with the feed water WWF nn NEWNAN BSE ae oa Fl re (Maal HH Fig. 2.—Longitudinal Section. CHICAGO, ILL. required for generating the steam used in the engines that it will be enor- mously more than sufficient to condense all the steam worked through the engines, |the condensed steam and the water con densing it will be wholly pumped back into the boiler, and there will be no rejected heat as in the case of other steam-engines, which rejected heat averages about eleven twelfths of the total heat of the vaporization of water. If the cost of the indicated horse- power in the best engines be taken at about 2? pounds of ordinary coal per hour, that cost, with the engines of |a hot water ,'system, will be only }, of a pound of coal per hour. The steam taken from the boilers at a tem perature of 400° F. (pressure 250 pounds per square inch above zero) for working the en- gines, will be condensed by the water of the return pipe at the temperature of, say 160 f., and both the water of condensation and the condensing water will be pumped into the boiler, so that the total quantity of water in the boiler and in the hot-water pipe and in the return-water pipe will always remain constant,” With all the hot water used for power pur poses rejected at a temperature of 316° and that for cooking at 390° or upward, how is the very large quantity of heat still remain ing in the water to be reduced to the tem perature of 160°, as stated in the above |extract? It may be said it will be used for heating water, boiling articles of food, heat ing buildings, and such like uses. ' But what can be done with it in summer when there is no heating to do, and even in winter or at any other time—in fact, how is the surplus the hot water from cooking and power apparatus to be exactly that required |for some other culinary operation or for heating some particular building ? The slightest calculation will show that the sur plus heat will be so great that it cannot in practice be reduced to the temperature stated. The low temperature of the return water could only be secured in individual instances in buildings provided with specially large heating coils arranged to receive the water as it was about to escape to the street Houses and public buildings already pro- vided with heating apparatus would neces- sarily have connections made to the apparatus in place, and the heat would be rejected at the temperature of the steam used for heat- ing, say at the temperature due to 5 pounds, as has been provided for in the previous calculation. In no case, as has been inti | mated, could it be assured that the surplus | heat from the cooking apparatus would not exceed that required for other culinary operations and heating the house. In sea- sons when no heat was required the only | economical way to dispose of the hot water }at 390° rejected from the cooking ap- paratus would be to pump it back to the station at that temperature and at the press ure due thereto. The result would only be worse were it allowed to expand down to atmospheric pressure, for then a large por tion would fly into steam and the return pipes be filled with a mixture of steam and water. If the hot water were used to generate steam for power, the surplus heat would be so great that it would be impracticable to dispose of it in the same or adjacent build ings, even during the heating season. Few factories can use all the exhaust steam from there engines, whereas with the water system there would be about five times as much heat in the rejected water as would be used in the engine. If part of the latter be used for heating, the heat in the exhaust steam must be absolutely wasted. In fact at all times a very large quantity of hot water must be rejected at the temperature of 316° due to the pressure, and, as in the case of cooking, the only economical way would be to return it to the station at a If it were permitted essure £ the pressure of 70 pounds, to expand down to the pr atmosphere, there would be 2.89 cubic feet of steam per pound of water circulated, or 29 4 cubic feet of steam at atmospher f pressure in the returns und of water evaporated into steam for use 10 reach p engines, and the volume of steam in tl return pipes would be about 60 times a large as that of the water yntained in the same. Of course in a small plant for ex hibition purposes radiators may be arranged to keep down the temperature rejected from cooking and power systems, but a sli h study of the problem will, as above indi cated, show that the demands for different purposes capnot be adjusted, even in winte! so as to prevent the rejection of a great deal of heat, and that in summer the heat Concluded on page TL Te ew FA ae maaan Se — . — e “= Sur See ee Fee + ANSONIA BRASS AND COPPER co., FACTURER XN PURE COPPER WIRE, For FI rical Purpe Bare and Covere a O'NEILS’S PATENT PLANISHED COPPER “| Waterbury | rass 0, Seamless Brass a a ESTABLISHED 1845. eU, {s : Wire, O Neils's ravent Nickey) Sheet, Roll and Platers’ Brass, , r, &e., German Silver, Copper, Brass and in German Silver Wire, Brass and Copper Tubing, s Copper Rivets and Burs, Brass Kettles, Door Rail, Brass Tags, Per- cussion Caps, Powder Flasks, Metallic Eyelets, Shot Pouches, Tape Meas ures, &c., and small Brass Wares of every description.
