Oil Fuel.Burning Rate Chart* * This chart is based upon No. 2 oil having a beat content of 143,400 Btu per gallon. If other grades of oil are used multiply the value obtained from this chart by the following factors: No. 1 oil (139,000 Btu per gallon) 1.032; No. 4 oil (144,500 Btu per gallon) 0.992; No. 5 oil (146,000 Btu per gallon) 0.982; and No. 6 oil (150,000 Btu per gallon) 0.956. =u * k GROSS OUTPUT - HUNDRED FEET STEAM RADIATION I--i--'----i--i--'--'-- i i i--i--i--r i i i i i i--i i i i i--i--i O 5 10 B 20 25 JO GROSS OUTPUT* HUNDRED FEET WATER RADIATION Fig. 23. Gas Fuel Burning Rate Chart values for these allowances have been given in preceding text. Detailed information for piping and pick-up allowances for steam and hot water systems, is given in Chapter 15, and for . warm air systems, in Chapters 18 and 19. When the gross output, operating efficiency, and heat value of the fuel are known, , the required rate of burning can be determined by means of Figs. 21, 22 and 23 for the several fuels. As the rate of fuel burning is directly proportional to the load for a given efficiency, these charts can be extended by moving the decimal points the same number of digits in both vertical and horizontal scales. The correct fuel burning rate can be determined directly from the several charts for oil or gas burning installations, as these customarily operate on a strictly intermittent basis. These fuel burning devices usually introduce the fuel at a single fixed rate during the on periods, and this rate should be sufficient to carry the gross load. In the case of coal stokers, which are usually capable of variable rates of firing, it is desirable to operate at as low a rate as weather conditions will permit, but the maxi mum firing rate of the stoker should be sufficient to carry the gross load. This rate may be determined by the same method as used for oil or gas. REFERENCES 1 Domestic Burners for Pennsylvania Anthracite (Underfeed Type), (U. S.
