Abstract

The object of this experiment is two-fold:

1. To devise a means of burning gas or oil directly in contact with the steam thus securing one hundred percent efficiency in heating and,

2. To prove that a heater of this type is more economical than the one above described.

The equipment available for conducting these experiments is:

A twenty horsepower return tubular boiler.

A twenty-five horsepower Corliss engine connected to a surface condenser.

Air pumps for compressing the gas and air necessary for combustion.
