Y Kingston, Aug. 18,--(To the dil at "rated" capacity, which could be | done without the least difMiculty, it tor): There is one point in the re | port on the Waterworks equipment, | {submitted by Inspector Wilson | the Canadian Fire Underwriters' As-| | soeiation,and published last Friday in the local papers, to which the under- | signed takes objeetion, viz.: the re-| | mark regarding the insufficiency of | {the boilers. { To state, as Inspector Wilson does, | that, "at present you have not even by operating both boilers, sufficient steam to run either oi the pumps at full capacity is, to say the least, abstrd. The uhdersighed therefore wishes to prové to the people of our city with facts and figures which, by the way, Inspector . Wilson re- frains from doing, that such a state of affairs does not exist, and that either boiler at the Waterworks pumping station is quite capable of generating more than enough steam to supply either engine even if work- ing under a greater load than at pre- sent. "Since Inspector Wilson does not give any reason for stating that the boilers have insufficient capacity, it is difficut to know how he arrives at such an important contlusion: He must have made ® great big guess) or he may have worked on the basis of a certain number of boiler horse power for eath engine horse power, whivh method is about as good as a guess, since there is absolutely ne ation between the two quantities fi ter per hour, from and at 212 de- grees Fahr., and if worked at 33.3 per cent., overload it would generate 5,630 pounds of steam per hour. Inspector Wilson- ¢laims that the two heilers operating togethers will ngine. The following figures will show that the boiler just described will supply more than'enough steam for the larg- er engine in the Waterworks plant, even under the most exacting condi- tiops: During recent test, this engine dev- eloped 144.3. indicated horse-power, and use for performing this work 2,- 829 lbs. of steam (this includes steam for apxiliaries, steam lost through leakage and condensation), This works out to about 19.5 Ibs. of steam per indicated horse-power per hour. Now, if it should be nepes- sary for the engine to develop 180 indicated horse-power or an inerease of about 25 per cent over the pre- sent load, the steam consumption would not exceed 25 Ibs. per im dicated horse-power -per hour (steam for auxiliaries, etc. included), therefore thé total steam required per.hour would be 4,500 Ibs. and the boiler could, according to the figufes above, supply this when working at only 7 per cent. over load. The total "rated" capacity of the boilers at the Waterworks plant is about 230 boiler 'horse-power, and Inspector Wilson states that these will not supply enough steam for an engine devéloping 114.8 indicated horse-power, even with such an effi- cient engine as the Inglis, which on= ly uses 19.5 1bs. of steam per indica~ ted horse-power per hour. The undersigned wonders' how many boiler horse power Inspector Wilson would recommend to run the steam turbine at the city light plant. Here, three boilers each "rated" at 114.5 horse-power developed during a recent test, a total of 254.5 horse- power, of 73.8 per cent. of te "'rat- ed" ' capacity. Yet these boilers working at this rate .generated enough steam to supply the turbine when developing the equivalent 'of nearly 600 indicated horse power. According to Inspector Wilson's figuring, 8 boilers, each having a "rating" of 114.5 boiler horse-paw- er, would be required to meet the demands of the steam turbine. This at once shows the absurdity of In- spector Wilson's , statement. Yours truly, CHAS. W, BURROUGHS, Me- chanical Enginéef. u | mentioned. The foliowing explanatien of these terms will, no doubt, make them plain to those not acquainted with engineer work: The term '"'boiler horse-power" is purely arbitrary, being an approxi- mate measure of the size, capacity, value or "rating" by whith measure pit may be described, advertised, or bought and sold, ete. No definite valne can be given to this measure which varies largely with local cus- tom, or individual opinion of the makers. « Sqme makers, for example, decide to use twelve square feet of water-heating surface as representing a boiler horse-power and they ad- vertise or sell a boiler having 1,200 square feet of water heating surface as a 100 horse-power 'boiler. An- other manufacturer might advertise the same boiler as a 120 horsepow- er boiler, because he uses 10 square feet to represent one boiler horse- power. The boilermakef, therefore, "rates" the capacity of the boiler on the basis of 'square feet of heating-sur- face." The engineer has a different basis from which he reckons the actual performance of the boiler, "The evaporation of 34.56 pounds of water per hour from a feed-water temper- ature of 212 degrees Fahr., into steam at the same temperatdre" is the basis adopted by the American Soclety of Mechanical Enginéers for calculating the horse-power of a boiler, from the actual water evapor- ated per hour. . The relation between the two methods is not at once apparent, but when one considérs that under ordi- nary conditions a boiler of the type in question will evaporate from 2.05 to 3.0 pounds of water from and at 212 degrees Fahr, per square foot of heating surface per hour, the rela- tion is readily determined; thus, if the evaporation ig 2.87 1bs, per square foot of heating surface per hour, and 12 square feet of heating surface is the builder's "rating" per horse power, the water evaporated per hour will be'34.5 pounds, or the engineer's "rating." Since the wa heating surface of one of the boi at the Waterworks plant is 1,470. square feet, its "rated" eapacity is 1470 divided by This boiler would have to evaporate 1470 x 2.87, or 4225 pounds of water per hour from and at 212 degrees Fahr. to develop its "rated" horse power. During the recent test on this boil- er, it was only necessary to evapo- rate 2,829 pounds of water per hour, from and at 212 degrees Fahr,, so that only 82 boiler horse power was actually developed. Thus the boil- 'er, while supplying sufficient steam to operate the Inglis engine, was only reguired to develop 67 cent. of its "rated" capacity. The ques- tion now arises: Could this boiler evaporate more than 2,829 pounds of water per hour? . The following recommendations regarding boiler rafings made by { the American Society of Mechanical Engineers will satisfactorily answer this query: "A beil stated should develop that capacity when using the best coal or- dinarily sold in the market where the boiler is located, When fired by i! an ordinary fireman, without forcing {| the fires, while exhibiting good econ- omy. And Turther, the boiler should develop at least one-third more than the stited capacity when using the same coal and fired by the same fireman, the full draft helng employed and the fites being cro | would evaporate 4,225 pounds of wa- | not supply even one pumping- ENS FON OVESES | instances.
