Machine Shops Can he Run More
Economically without Them.
A few years ago the building of a
machine shop without chimney would
have been looked upon as the act Of an
idiot Now it may be the wisest thing
a builder can do, for the large fan
which is taking the place Of the CHM
ney costs great deal less than the lofty
stack, and does its work much better.
Besides this there is great saving in
fuel
In one plant where this experiment
was tried there were three boilers. ag-
gregating $50 horsepower. and directly
above them was mounted fan connect
ed direct with by double cylinder
engine. The wheel Of the fan was Sd
inches in diameter, and as it could be
run at any speed, it provided draft
qnite independent of the fire. 1t was
possible to use a much cheaper grade Of
coal and the saving thus effected was
quite appreciable.
For instance, with the ordinary form
of chimney the shop would use 1,624
tons of Cumberland coal, at $S.65, ag-
gregating So. 929 a year. Using the
blower, mixture of Cumberland coal
and yard screenings, half and half,
would suffice. This, at 50. 851S, would
amount to 81, 995, showing difference
of $934. The cost Of operating the fan
was placed at $18S per annum, SO that
the net gain was $751;, SUM greater
than the entire cost of the mechanical
draft apparatus. Louis Dem.
