Сторінка 401 - CALORIE is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water one degree centigrade.
Сторінка 410 - These are the measurement of the air supply, the determination of its contained moisture, the determination of the amount of heat lost by radiation, of the amount of infiltration of air through the setting, and (by condensation of all the steam made by the boiler) of the total heat imparted to the water.
Сторінка 408 - The ash-pits should be thoroughly cleaned at once after starting. Before the end of the test the fires should be burned low, just as before the start, and the fires cleaned in such...
Сторінка 100 - The lower limit is specified for rubber-covered wires to prevent gradual deterioration of the high insulations by the heat of the wires, but not from fear of igniting the insulation. The question of drop is not taken into consideration in the above tables.
Сторінка 100 - Insulation Resistance — The wiring in any building must test free from grounds; ie, the complete installation must have an insulation between conductors and between all conductors and the ground (not including attachments, sockets, receptacles, etc.) of not less than the following: Up to 5 amperes 4,000,000 ohms...

Сторінка 90 - Remedy. — The trouble is often found where the armature wires connect with the commutator and not in the coil itself, and the break may be repaired or the loose wire may be resoldered or screwed back in place. If the trouble is due to a broken commutator connection and it cannot be fixed, then connect the disconnected bar to the next by solder, or
Сторінка 409 - If the boiler is connected to a main steam-pipe with other boilers, the safety valve on the boiler being tested should be set a few pounds higher than those of the other boilers, so that in case of a rise in pressure the other boilers may blow off, and the pressure be reduced by closing their dampers, allowing the damper of the boiler being tested to remain open, and firing as usual. All...
