Description

Excerpt from Cutting Coal Costs in New York City: A Booklet Telling How It Is Being Accomplished by Kewanee Smokeless Firebox Boilers, and Showing a Few of Many New York City Buildings Where Kewanee Boilers and Water Heating Garbage Burners Are Installed The Kewanee Smokeless Firebox Boiler permits the use of cheaper coal - because it burns it without smoke. The other boiler, not built for burning Bituminous Coal smokelessly must use higher priced Anthracite. Government analysis of the Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia Bituminous Coals, which are sold in New York for an average price of per ton, shows that this coal averages about British Thermal Heat Units per pound: The cheapest anthracite coal that can be burned in the ordinary boiler, and comply with New York City's stringent smoke ordi nance, is a pea size costing about per ton. This grade of anthracite coal contains only about heat units per pound. That means that the installation of a hand fired boiler, which will burn soft coal smokelessly, makes it possible to use a grade of coal costing about per ton which contains 17% more heat than the anthracite pea that costs per ton.
