Synopsis
Steam Heating Data offers ready, practical data for engineers and architects
The concise guide presents preliminary rules for installing steam heating or hot water systems, grounded in scientific data yet streamlined for everyday use. It introduces a practical approach to sizing boilers, radiators, and ventilation, with clear steps and examples.
The book emphasizes starting with condensation and air flow to frame all calculations. It walks through how to estimate required air, set target temperatures, and translate those needs into boiler capacity, fuel use, grate size, and chimney height. It also contrasts direct radiant heating with indirect ventilation, helping readers choose the method that fits a project.
- How to determine ventilation needs for a building or room and translate that into air units and heat units.
- How to size a boiler, estimate coal consumption, and select a grate and chimney based on practical rules.
- How to compare direct radiation versus indirect ventilation for different building types.
- How to approach calculations with simple, repeatable steps for real-world projects.
Ideal for readers in architecture and engineering who want concise, usable rules of thumb for heating and ventilation projects.
Steam Heating Data is the first in a series of concise data books from 1897, designed for quick reference in the field.
