Under these condi-tions, boiler efficiencies ranging from 55to 60 per cent, are to be expected and theresults show that only such efficienciesare obtained. On the other hand whenacceptance tests of plants were madeunder a fuel guarantee and care wastaken for finding the proper draft areaas especially in the manipulation of thedamper to maintain as high pressure aspossible in the furnace and around theheating surface of the boilers, the effi-ciency has ranged from 73 to 75 per cent.
