MEASUREMENT OF STEAM USED INATOMIZATION As ■ has been previously set forth, there are threemethods used in pulverizing or atomizing the fuel oilin the industries for heat generating purposes, namely:. A Typical Steam Meter by compressed air, by steam, and by some mechanicaloperation. In any one of these instances the actual expendi-ture of energy necessary to accomplish this resultwhen converted into heat units should be chargedas a loss in furnace operation, when the efficiency ofthe boiler as a whole is being determined. And if thisenergy is taken from the steam that is being generatedin the boiler, then the net steam energy should becomputed by subtracting from the gross productionsuch steam as may be used in atomization. It then becomes the task of the steam engineerto construct some accurate and convenient apparatuswhereby this may be easily and accurately accom-plished. There are steam meters on the market that maybe utilized for this purpose, and if a careful designis picked, the measurement may be relied upon. Manyengineers, however, prefer the use of a standardizedorifice or the construction of an apparatus of their ownwhereby this important data may be ascertained withacc
