Excerpt from the Preface: "The purpose of this volume is to describe, in clear and simple language, the principles that underlie the use of oil as a fuel in steam-boiler practice; the form and action of various types of burners; the arrangement of furnaces for burning oil under different kinds of boilers; the operation of such accessories as pumps, heaters, and cleaning devices; the methods of storing oil; and such other matters as might naturally arise in connection with the purchase and use of oil fuel. No attempt has been made to describe the use of oil in locomotive or marine practice, or in heating, tempering and hardening furnaces, because these applications are so extensive as to deserve individual treatment. Instead, this volume is confined to the burning of oil in the furnaces of stationary steam boilers, and the endeavor has been to cover the ground fully and thoroughly.". Book.
