Introducing the subject from the point of view of pulverized fuel, Mr. W. E. Woodeson said there was no method of burning coal that ap-- proached the maximum possible theoretical fuel. When a cubic inch of coal was pulverized correct. ly 200,000,000 particles were pro- duced, and with a total superficial aren of combustion dependent upon the case with which the air had access to the coal, it was obvious a correctly designed that with burner practically complete com- bustion must take place with the minimum quantity of excess air,

This ease of perfectly mixing the air and coal together was an advan tage which only this system of fring, could possibly obtain, as had been proved in the case of existing pulverized fuel plants at sen on Scotch boilers.

Broadly speaking there was no limit to the quality of coal that could be successfully burned in the pulverized form, and while a coal of poor quality did not burn so freely as ane containing large number of B.Th. U. and a high per- centage of volatiles, the author had yet to find a coal that could not be successfully burned, given the proper conditions. At a recent test on a marine boiler with coal of only 3,500 B.Th. U., and containing 33 per vent, of ash, a thermal efficiency of 50 per cent. was obtained.
