Rules For Firing Boilers.

Rules for firing steam boilers so as
to obtain the maximum power with
the least amount Of smoke We're made
public by Harry McNutt, smoke in
spector. and will be sent out in few
days to every place in the city where
large heating plants are used. The
following rules are set for firing boil
ers with Iowa coal.
do not fire any large Jumps, but
break coal down to uniform size.
Keep ash pits bright at all times.
If they become dark it is evidence
that the fire is getting dirty and
needs cleaning. Do not allow the
ashes to collect in the ash pits; this
not only shuts OF the air supply, but
causes CRATES to burn.
In firing, spread coal over as wide
space as possible.
Fire up one side of the furnace
at time SO that the other side, con-
tanning a bright eye, will ignite the
volatile gases from the fresh charge.
I'm cleaning fire. clean one side
then allow an interval Of Ave min
utes before cleaning the other side.
do not allow the fire to burn down
before charging. II this is done, II
will not only result in smoky chin
ney. but in an irregular steam pres.
sure, and losssof coal.
do not allow holes to form in the
fire. Regulate the draft by the bot
tom or ash pit doors, and not by
stack hampers.
Fire little at a time and often.
rather than heavily and seldom.
Garry the fire as thick as the
draft win permit. II the draft is
poor. thin fire ia necessary, but a
thick fire bed with good draft win eff
feet better economies"
