For examples of this principle, methods of connectingsome of the boilers of different types arc shown here. In determining the size of the boilers, figure the B. T. lbs. of steam necessary to supply (i) the connectedload, (2) the line loss and (3) the station loss per hour,divide this by 33,000 or 30, respectively, and the quotientis the horse power necessary. For example: Steam plant, 100,000 sq. ft. connected. 100,000 X lbs. = 33,000 lbs. steam per loss = 2,qoo lbs. steam. Station loss = 1,300 lbs. steam. 37,200 lbs. ,200 1= 1,240 horse power for the maximum conditions. 30 HEATING STATION 89.
