About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from Steam Power Plant Auxiliaries and Accessories Most of the preventable losses in the engine rooms of steam power plants occur in connection with the auxiliary equipment. Generally speaking, there is t a great deal that the operating engineer can do to increase the efficiencies of the prime movers -the turbines or engines. It is also a fact - that, as a rule, the prime movers in a plant give relatively little trouble and involve relatively little maintenance expense. Most of the trouble and maintenance expense is due to the auxiliaries. Thus, it. follows that, in a sense, the auxiliary equipment comprises the most important part of that portion of the power-plant equipment which transforms the heat in the steam into power. Hence, in this book, it has been the endeavor to give such data as will enable the operator to select, and properly install, auxiliary equipment which will insure the generation of power at the least cost. Furthermore - and quite as important. - it has been the aim to provide the information whereby this auxiliary equipment can be so operated and maintained that its preventable losses will be a minimum and that its up-keep expense will be as small as is feasible. Drawings for all of the 411 illustrations were made especially for this work. It has been the endeavor so to design and render these pictures that they will convoy the desired information with a minimum of supplementary discussion. Throughout the text, principles which are presented are explained with descriptive expositions or with worked-out arithmetical examples. At the end of each of the 13 divisions there are questions to be answered and, where justified, problems to be solved by the reader. These questions and problems arc based on the text matter in the division just preceding. If the reader can answer the questions and solve the problems, he then must be conversant with the subject matter of the division. Detail solutions to all of the problems are printed in the appendix in the back of the book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
