Synopsis

This edition of On Economy of Fuel, Particularly With Reference to Reverberatory Furnaces for the Manufacture of Iron, and to Steam Boilers, presents practical thinking on getting more heat from the fuel we burn.

It shows how waste heat travels through furnaces and boilers and how to recover it for steam and other uses.

The text contrasts iron furnace use with steam boilers, explains how heat transfers in multiple stages, and argues for methods that preserve heat rather than waste it. It also describes how compressed air can boost efficiency and discusses schemes for making surplus heat available to neighboring industries.
  • Understand how heat losses occur in furnaces and boilers and why every degree matters
  • Learn the reasoning behind using compressed air to improve draught and heat recovery
  • See practical comparisons to determine better use of fuel in iron making and steam generation
  • Explore design ideas to minimize waste heat and repurpose it for nearby manufacturing
Ideal for engineers, furnace managers, and others involved in iron production, steam generation, and industrial energy planning who want to optimize fuel use and reduce waste.
