Cyclopedia of locomotive engineering, with examination questions and answers; a practical manual on the construction care and management of modern locomotives . ditionis not corrected the salt crystals will completely closethe feed cone orifice. How to Rectify. Close all feed stems; open all sightfeed drain stems and blow out thoroughly. The action of the steam on feedcones will dissolvethe salt reasonabletime for condensa-tion; start the feeds,and the drop of oilwill be normal. Air Bound. Thiscondition is almostinvariably broughtabout whenever itbecomes necessaryto fill a lubricator onthe road. The tem-perature of a lubri-cator at such timesis very nearly thatof the steam pressure temperature. Sometimes th$water feed valve seat ma) leak, and in order to fill thelubricator in this heated condition it is found neces-sary to shut off all steam pressure to the lubricator,including the air pump, and owing to the high temper-ature of the condenser the water flashes into steam,practically emptying the condenser and feed glassesof all water. The oil reservoir being very hot, theoil expands rapidly and the filler plug is usually put in.
