in Table 4. Chimneys for Oil Fuel.'--The requirements for stacks for oil fuels are
entirely different from those connected to coal-fired boilers, as there are certain losses through the boiler proper that are eliminated. Gas tem peratures entering the stacks are lower for a given capacity, and the volume of gas is less than with coal. The cross-sectional area of the stack may therefore be less. In most instances this may safely be taken as

Chapter VI--Chimneys
w ______ __ ____ -- V..A.C ivouiu ue iurnisnea lor coal-hred boilers. In determining the height, care must be taken to design a stack that will give a sufficient draft for the maximum requirements of the boiler, but not more. In this way the efficiency is safeguarded, and the danger of a draft such as to pull through too large an excess of air is eliminated.

'For Furnace Draft.--Allow 0.15 for forced draft. . For Natural Draft 0.35 in. or higher should be used
depending upon rate of combustion and fuel used.
For Breeching Friction Loss.--AUbw 0.05 in. for each right angle bend and 0.1 in. per 100 ft. of length. .

to give satisfactory results under the assumed conditions as given for stacks with oil-burning boilers. ...
