Excerpt from Oil Firing for Kitchen Ranges and Steam Boilers The principal object now in view is to give a brief description of the combustion of heavy residues or fuel oil in a cooking range for culinary purposes. Some general remarks on the production of crude petroleum and fuel oil, together with other information relating thereto, is included, as, comparatively speaking, the average householder or hotel proprietor knows littler or nothing of oil for firing purposes. Previous to the war, fuel oil had not been used in the kitchen as far as the author is aware, and it was entirely due to the great scarcity and high cost of coal, brought about by war conditions, that means were devised for firing kitchen ranges with similar residues to those that are used for firing purposes in the furnaces of steam generators. There are many excellent liquid-fuel burners on the market for steam-raising and other purposes, but neither in design nor method of application do they conform with the exacting requirements of the domestic kitchen, in simplicity, reliability, cleanliness, and range of power. For the kitchen range, a burner that will give a continuous flame of small dimensions is a necessity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Oil Fuel for Steam Boilers The purpose of this volume is to describe, in clear and Simple language, the principles that underlie the use of oil as a fuel in steam-boiler practice; the form and action of various types of burners; the arrangement of furnaces for burning Oil under different kinds Of boilers; the opera tion of such accessories as pumps, heaters, and clean ing devices; the methods of storing oil; and such other matters as might naturally arise in connection with the purchase and use Of oil fuel. N o attempt has been made to describe the use of oil in locomotive or marine practice, or in heating, tempering and hardening furnaces, because these applications are so extensive as to deserve individual treatment. In stead, this volume is confined to the burning of oil in the furnaces of stationary steam boilers, and the endeavor has been to cover the ground fully and thoroughly.

Excerpt from Liquid Fuel and Its Combustion The Author has endeavoured to connect the two practices, for in the present state of liquid fuel supply it is more than probable that its use will be parallel with the use of coal, especially in dealing with the sudden and high load peaks of electric stations. Liquid fuel cannot be universal unless the supply increases to many times what it is at present, and this points to a good future for the mixed system of firing, Oil and coal being burned together in the same furnace. It has been difficult to make a selection of apparatus to be described, but the Author trusts that he has selected a sufficient number of types practically to cover the ground and show the general trend of practice without unduly multiplying examples. Indeed the tendency seems to him to be in the direction of one general type. As regards special boilers, Oil does not appear to require anything more than what is required by coal, though coal is not treated to the necessary appliances, and oil is so treated, and gains success where coal is allowed to fail. Much that perhaps ought to appear in such a book as this has been omitted, as it appears to the Author that the question of draught, for example, is not of'the same importance with liquid fuel as it is with solid fuels. More might be said on the subject of flue-gas proportion, but this again has been so fully treated by other writers that it did not seem desirable at present to deal with it more fully. The most important detail of liquid fuel apparatus is the furnace and the provision of air, and of means to secure combustion and conserve temperature to enable combustion to be made perfect. Mr. Horace Allen kindly revised the section on gas analysis. Students of liquid fuel combustion will find enormous masses of information in the past volumes of the Engineer, Engineering, and other technical papers. Much of this information is duplicated and historical, and the Author has found it necessary to eliminate almost all such matter and confine his space to systems now living or of recent use, or of a form recognized as useful to - day. Undoubtedly Aydon and the late Admiral Selwyn did much to urge the use of liquid fuel, but the latter injured the value of his best work by regarding steam as a combustible.
