The Bigelow Two Pass Boiler for
Heating and Power
The requirements in considering a boiler especially for steam heating--are fi^st cost, efficiency and maintenance, and the steel heating boiler particularly the Bigelow Two
Pass type, we believe meets the above desired requirements most favorably. First Cost--The F. O. B. price of a steel boiler is often higher than for other types,
but, of course, the installed cost is the correct way to figure. For the proper erection eft a sectional boiler experienced and high priced men are required while the Bigelow Two-Pass
Boiler is shipped practically all assembled and requires but a small amount of mason
work.
Efficiency--Correctly designed as a heat absorbing piece of apparatus, the area of the gas passage in the first pass is approximately one third greater than that of the return pass. This results in better heat transmission, due to the more uniform velocity of the gases over the heating surface as they are cooled.
The furnace is constructed of standard fire and red brick and is encased in a heavy sectional plate steel casing which adds to the neat appearance of the installation and prevents infiltration of air through cracks that may develop in the brick work.
Maintenance--The Bigelow Two-Pass Boiler is constructed without crown sheet or water legs, so there are no staybolts to break and cause leakage or danger of ruptured
Being constructed of steel, there is no likelihood of cracking sections due to sudden changes of temperature, variation in thickness of material under pressure, and no unequal strains are set up in' assembling. The many installations of the Bigelow Two-Pass Boiler both for heating and power, have proven it to be economical in operation and low in main tenance cost.
