In this case a return carrieris provided to deliver the surplus back to the main carrier when boilers used in connection with bagasse are not specialized types, 468 CHAPTER XXIII modern practice seeming to be equally divided between the horizontal fire-tube boiler and some form of the water-tube. In some houses two distinctbatteries have been installed ; the latter to supply steam at higher pressureto the engines, and the former to give steam at a lower pressure to theheating and evaporating stations. It was for long considered a fundamental idea in sugar-house designthat a type of boiler of large water capacity should be installed, so as to allowfor unequal consumption of steam in the boiling house. This argumenthas been used to support the fire-tube as opposed to the wa
