American stationary engineering; a practical work which begins at the boiler room and takes in the whole power plant. consists of sections of vei-tical 4^ boiler tubes fitted to their top and bottom headers bytaper joints. The top headers are provided with caps overeach tube to permit cleaning out the sediment and remove andreplace any tube that may become damaged.

Maxims and Instructions. 187 FUEL ECONOMIZER AND FEED WATER PURIFIER. Mechanical scrapem are made to travel up and down eachtube to keep them clear of soot. These are controlled by anautomatic mechanism and driving head, as shown in Fig. 93. The important features about the economizer are, 1, itsadaptability to any type of boiler, 2, the saving attained byutilizing that heat which has necessarily been an almost totalwaste, 3, the purifying of the water by means of the intenseheat and slow circulation of the feed water.
