Excerpt from Economical Banking of Fires With a Green Chain Grate Storker: A Thesis The object of this thesis is to find the most economical way of banking fires with the Green chain grate stoker installed in the power plant of the Armour Institute of Technology, No attempt has been made to carry out the tests, that have been made, with that accuracy required in obtaining heat balances, instead the data collected is merely that of commercial tests in which the most important stress has been laid on those factors relevant to economical operation. It might be best to first give the essence of those factors, Economy, in shutting down a boiler, considering the coal end alone, would be best attained by allowing the fire under the boiler to go out during the period in which no steam is wanted from that unit and building a new fire when it is desired that that unit furnish steam. Unquestionably this method would be the best for a small plant with a short operating period. If, however, we take into consideration the amount of water evaporated during the period in which the fire is banked and the amount of attendance needed during the bank, along with the coal burned, we have a very complex problem.
