About this Item

Print on Demand. This book is an instructional guide for seven different carbon dioxide instruments used for measuring the efficiency of steam-powered boilers in generating and utilizing steam. The instrumentsâ "the Bimeter CO2 recorder, the Simmance-Abady CO2 recorder, the Sarco automatic combustion (CO2) recorder, the Telezometer CO2 recorder, the Uehling CO2 machine, the CO2 thermoscope, and the Dr. A. Schmids pocket CO2 indicatorâ "were tested under laboratory conditions and in the field. The engineers who wrote this report present the detailed results of the tests and conclude with their recommendations for usage and maintenance. This book is a valuable resource for engineers operating steam-driven power plants and for students of mechanical engineering. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

About this title

Synopsis

Understand how carbon-dioxide recorders perform in real power-plant conditions — a practical guide to choosing and evaluating CO2 instruments for furnace control.

This Bureau of Mines report summarizes tests of several CO2 recording devices, showing how accurately they track changes in flue gas composition and what factors influence their readings. It blends laboratory work with field-like operation to help engineers install, test, and maintain CO2 recorders in real-world settings.

• Learn which instrument types were tested and how their performance was measured
• See practical setup and installation tips for reliable readings
• Discover common errors, maintenance needs, and how to interpret results
• Understand how changes in installation and operation affect accuracy and durability

Ideal for readers involved in power-plant operation, boiler management, and furnace optimization who need dependable CO2 data to guide combustion control.
