Boilers
27 Inch, S230 and S270 Series Another line of Capitol Smoke
less Boilers is exemplified by the 27 inch, S230 and S270 Series, of which the latter is illustrated in the interior view at the right.
These are regular updraft boilers so designed that they may be operated smokelessly with proper attention. The important
smokeless feature of these boilers is the inverted bridgewall or curtain section through which heated auxiliary air filters over the fire for complete combustion. When firing these boilers the coking method should be applied, that is. the initial fire should be pushed to the rear of the grate and new fuel added at the front. The gases distilled from the green coal pass under the curtain where they mix with auxiliary air. The combustible mixture is forced to pass close to the surface of the hot coke fire at the rear where combustion takes place.
40 Series Capitol Smokeless Boiler
40 Inch Series
A more recent Smokeless Boiler development of the United States Radiator Corporation is the 40 Inch Series. The operation of the 40 Inch Series is similar to that of the S230 and S270 except that auxiliary air enters through patented air passages in the front section. Admission of air at the front permits combustion of a large part of the gases before they pass under the curtain. As the gases pass under the curtain they are heatod to a higher temperature and combus tion is completed as they enter the flues. The Performance Curve shown below is typical of this type of boiler.

Boilers
50 Inch Series
The largest of the more recent series of Capitol Smokeless Boilers developed by the Capitol Testing Laboratory is that known as the 50 in. series.
These boilers contain a large furnace where bituminous coal undergoes rapid com
bustion. The main air supply is admitted through the grates and the fuel bed. Auxiliary
air for smokeless combustion is admitted at the front of the furnace through passages
leading from the ashpit to a point just above the level of the fuel bed. This air is properly
proportioned for best results. It is pre-heated and mixes with the volatile gases distilled
from the fuel.
,
An additional supply of auxiliary air- is furnished through an inverted bridgewall or curtain section. This air is also pre-heated and filters over the fire, assuring most
complete combustion and highest efficiency.
