Excerpt from A Practical Manual of Steam and Hot-Water Heating For about a quarter of a century the writer of these pages has been connected with those who manufacture and sell boilers and radiators for steam and hot-water heating. During this long period it has been his daily duty and privilege to answer the questions of architects, engineers, steam-fitters and house-owners in regard to every phase of the house-heating industry. To do this with some degree of intelligence on his own part, and to keep in touch with the remarkable development of the science of heating through the efforts of heating engineers during this period, has compelled him to; utilize every resource at his command and become a student of every phase of this somewhat complex subject. His duties have compelled him to visit frequently every section of our country and to become acquainted with the heating requirements of each. Many times during these years he has been urged by friends to give some presentation of heating principles in book-form. Experience has shown that in every doubtful problem, it was because some involved fundamental principle had not been fully understood. It has also demonstrated that the majority of those who do the practical work of measuring the buildings and erecting house-heating systems of steam or hot water require that the information they desire be given in simple terms of ordinary conversation, and not in scientific terms. In the present work I have endeavored to bring out every fundamental principle involved in the science of heating in a manner to meet that need. To a great number of authors who have preceded me I am indebted. There is scarcely a book published on the subject to whose author thanks are not due for some suggestion or fact. The list is too long for specific mention. To each, therefore, who in a way is quoted but is not given specific credit in the text, I now tender my thanks.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1911 edition. Excerpt: ... reduced to the standard of "from and at 212 deg. F.; that is, it is the equivalent evaporation from water at a temperature of 212 deg. F. into steam of the same temperature. "The measure of the capacity of a power-boiler is the amount of boiler-horse-power developed, a horse-power being defined as the evaporation of 30 lb. of water per hour from 100 deg. F. into steam at 70-lb. pressure or 3iy2 lb. per hour from and at 212 deg. F." The measure of relative rapidity of steaming of powerboilers is the number of pounds of water evaporated per hour per square foot of heating-surface. The measure of relative rapidity of combustion of fuel in power-boilerfurnaces is the number of pounds of coal burned per hour per square foot of grate-surface. (Kent, page 678.) These extracts from the highest American authorities as to what constitutes a horse-power, in a jwer-boiler value, is ample to show the futility of attempting to apply "horse-power" data to the present ratings of cast-iron steam-boilers. The power-boiler begins to rate for horse-power when the steam has a gage pressure of 70 lb. The maximum rating of the cast-iron, house-heating boiler is only 2 lb. at the boiler. The power-boiler is to evaporate 30 lb. of water into steam of 316 deg. F. temperature in one hour, in order to develop one unit or one horse-power, while the cast-iron, house-heating boiler is rated to evaporate approximately 344 lb. of water into steam of 212 F. in same time. The power-boiler is supposed to deliver its steam to an engine where a portion of its heat and power is used by the engine and a much larger portion in the shape of latent heat is thrown off in the exhaust. This exhaust represents a great fuel consumption, how great can be easily...

Excerpt from Modern Plumbing, Steam and Hot Water Heating: A New Practical Work for the Plumber, the Heating Engineer, the Architect, and the Builder After many years of practical contact with mechanics in the construction of steam and hot-water plants and plumbing work, I find that there is no language so clear, so simple, and so easily understood by such persons, as the language of drawings. This is but natural, as a drawing to a mechanic speaks louder than words, it is a tangible proof of what it means.

Excerpt from Heating Systems: Design of Hot Water and Steam Heating Apparatus This work presents the most modern practice in an important branch of Engineering. It is freely illustrated with a large number of drawings, and some catalogue prints are also included where special drawings would possess little further advantage. It is not, however, the writer's intention to convey the impression that he favours the products of one maker in preference to those of another. A special feature of the book is the large number of Charts that have been prepared, and the method adopted in sizing the pipes of different systems. Attention has been directed rather to the practical than to the theoretical aspects of the work, whilst in the sizing of pipes, the process in a large measure is merely a mechanical one. Consideration is also given to the economical aspect of heating problems, and especially in connection with the heating of works or of industrial buildings. The book is therefore intended for the busy professional or business man, as well as for the use of students. The writer desires to thank all who have assisted either directly or indirectly in the production of the work.

Excerpt from Steam and Hot Water Fitters' d104 Book: Prepared for the Steam and Hot Water Heating Course at the New York Trade School, With Supplementary Chapters on House Heating, Specifications and Surface Estimating Early in the summer of 1894 I was invited by the Advis ory Committee of the New York Trade School in the Steam and Hot Water Fitting Department to deliver two lectures a week to the class, for twelve weeks of the course, and also to give such aid and advice as might assist in suc cessfully inaugurating the work. Having decided to un dertake the work, I discovered that no text book had ever been prepared, and that the course therefore would have to be created. It was with a view to meeting this de ficiency that the lectures were prepared, which after de livery were published in The Metal Worker. And now appear herewith in book form. It is believed that these lectures will be particularly appreciated by those who wish to master the principles of steam and hot water heating. The definitions in the beginning deal with the appliances, and little by little the scholar is led on until at the close he is told how to figure surfaces and lay out plans and install heating apparatus, with all necessary piping. In a word, the whole subject of steam and hot water heating is cov ered in a simple way. And it is believed the lectures in the form of a text book will prove of value to all who wish to acquire information in this department. While primarily addressed to young students, the text book will be found of great advantage to those in other lines of trade who wish to take up steam and hot water heating.

Excerpt from Practical Steam and Hot Water Heating and Ventilation: A Modern Practical Work on Steam and Hot Water Heating and Ventilation, With Descriptions and Data of All Materials and Appliances Used in the Construction of Such Apparatus; Rules, Tables, Etc From a more or less experimental stage to one of an exact science has been the progress of the art of artificial heating and ventilation during the period covering the past twenty-five or thirty years. In the early days of this industry there were but few competent fitters located outside of the larger cities. However, of later years the above conditions have changed, due in a great measure to the constant advancement and education of the steam fitting trade. To-day it is not an uncommon thing to find in a small city or town one or more steam fitters entirely competent to install almost any kind of a steam or hot-water heating apparatus. This education of the steam fitter has been accomplished largely by the frequent publication in the trade papers of much practical information, accompanied by drawings and data which could be readily understood by him. The publication of a number of books on the subject of Steam and Hot-Water Heating and Ventilation has also been of great assistance to the steam fitter in his mental advancement. However, much of the matter contained in these books is too technical and of a nature too difficult to be clearly understood by a man of average education. In presenting this work the author wishes to give a brief history of the science of steam and hot-water heating and ventilation and the early methods of constructing work, and to describe and illustrate the advancement and improvements over the earlier methods.
