USE MODE LI6NITE
OR ‘BROWN CORL’
FUEL SEEN AS ECOMONICAL FOR
DOMESTIC AND FOR BOILER
USE
WASHINGTON, March 5. (£>)—The
use of lignite or “brown coal” for
domestic use and under boilers is
advocated in a series of bulletins
explainting its uses, just issued by
the Bureau of Mines and announced
by the department of Commerce. The
full text of the announcement fol
lows :
The fact that lignite can be satis
factorily burned as domestic and
boiler fuel when suitable stoves and
grates are provided means that its
use is restricted primarily by the
advantage of other fuels in price,
convenience, storage, bulk and rate
of combustion, states the Bureau of
Mines, Department of Commerce. In
the regions adjacent to lignite-pro
ducing mines storage is not import
ant; relative price of available fuels
is the determining factor. In such
regions lignite is naturally the prin
cipal fuel used.
For domestic use one can buy
stoves in which lignite, even the
fine sizes, can be burned almosit
as efficiently as the higher-grade
fuels. In order to liberate heat
equivalent to one ton of high-grade
fuel, approximately two tons of lig
nite must be burned and a stove
large enough to burn lignite at the
necessary rate must be provided.
Always a Competitor.
Considerable thought has been
given to the use of lignite as boiler
fuel. From the progress already
made, evidently lignite will always
be a competitor of other fuels for
boilers in the lignite regions. The
use of special grates, step grates,
chain grates, and underfeed stokers
has made possibility added to (the
fact of an oversupply, usually of the
fine size—slack lignite—which sell
at a very low price, makes lignite
attractive as boiler fuel'.
Bureau of Mines Bulletins 21,40,89’
and 135, and Technical Papers 137,
205, 217 and 279 give complete de
tails. Under test conditions a ther
mal efficiency of 80 per cent can be
obtained by conbustion of lignite
boiler fuels. The boiler capacity
with this fuel will be less than with
high-grade fuels unless large grates
and furnaces are provided to accom
modate the larger amounts of fuel
and ash to be handled. With forced
draft giving higher rates of combus
tion, and approved combustion con
ditions, the maximum capacity (boil
er horsepower developed) is rarely
over 140 to 160 per cent of the rated
capacity unless a larger grate area
is provided than that for bituminous
coal. With large grates and furnac
es and forced draft, 275 per cent of
'boiler rating has been attained. It
is entirely possible to attain high
boiler capacities with lignite with
suitable design of grataes ana fur
nace, but this can not be done with
the usual proportions that have been
determined with high-grade coal.

No Engine Fumes
in Buick Closed
Cars!
In the 1927 Buick, the new
Vacuum Ventilator pul Is en
gine fumes and gases from
the crankcase and ejects
them outside the car.
This vital new Buick im
provement does away with
noxious odors. It adds greater
luxury and pleasure to en^
closed car operation.
TheVacuumVentilator serves
another very important pur
pose. With it, crankcase va
pors have no opportunity7 to
condense and dilute the oil.
Owners of 1927 Buicks are
advised to drain their crank
case oil only 4 tunes during
the year.
! For luxury, and for economy,
own a Buick.
