COST OF POWER: A modern, highly efficient and economical steam driven high speed compressor plant must be installed so as to get the maximum power out of coal.
POWER COST: Due to numerous starting and stopping of compressor during the slack months the maximeter charges will be higher and therefore it must be assumed that 60 K.

The compressor is kept under compression while the car is travelling with the gun out of action, so that the arm is available for instant firing.
When the gun is loaded the bolt which holds the compressor back is withdrawn, either by the hand for manual firing, or by the action of the automatic closing of the breech when the arm is being used as a quick-firer.
Carbonic acid gas liquefies at a very moderate temperature and pressure, and so while it leaves the compressor as a gas it becomes liquid in the condenser and remains so until it has passed the regulating valve.
There is a pressure-gauge on the pipe leaving the compressor and another on the one entering it.
Assuming that the compressor is working at a constant speed, this compression can be regulated to a nicety by the valve: close it a little and the compression will increase: open it a little and the compression will decrease.
I can borrow a constructioncompressor unit on a truck," Two-and-Two offered.
On a Sunday morning they carried the bubb out into the yard behind the store and test inflated the thirty-foot ring by means of a line of hose from the compressor in the shop.
An automatic pressure governor starts the compressor when the pressure falls and stops it when the full reservoir pressure is restored.
The air pump is a direct-coupled compressor whose steam and air cylinders have a common piston-rod, attached in vertical position to the side of the boiler in front of the cab.
One Ingersoll straight-line compressor from the old power-house.
The power-generating plant might almost have been omitted from this period, as the first compressor did not begin running until February, 1905.
While this stroke is being made the air compressor piston in the bottom of the cylinder, which is a part of the regular piston, has been compressing the air needed to perform the above operations.
The air-flasks are filled with compressed air by air-compressor pumps which are driven by the engines when the submarine is running light or awash.
There was one high-pressure compressor at each plant.
The compressor plant was ample, except, as before described, when passing the gravel section at Weehawken.
The air came from the high-pressure compressorpreviously described.

Opposite as it may seem, heat is required to produce cold--for steam is necessary to drive the compressor and pump of a refrigerating plant, and fire of some sort is necessary to make steam.
This rod is bored longitudinally, establishing communication between the compressor cylinder and the drum containing the piston.
In the engraving, which is a sectional view, the cylinder of an air compressor is represented, on the end of which there is a ring containing delivery ports, through which the air from the cylinder is forced into a receiver or conducting pipe.
They hooked the tanks up, refilled the gas tank of the compressor engine, and left the tanks to fill while they went to the cottage.

The scientists joined him and Scotty at the shed where the compressor had been stored.
The boys started the compressorto fill the tanks used the previous night, then untied the Water Witch and headed for the diving area.
Then he replaced the cover and disconnected the compressor long enough to pump pressure into the camera case.
They knew that tanks could be dangerous, and they knew that oil in a compressoris dangerous.
To this Mr. Bradley added two more second-hand locomotive boilers, and another Rand compressor of the same type and capacity as the first.
His compressor could have been made to work and Paul could have made it to the station, but for what?
That's how we knew about old man Brinker's compressor that Stinky said was his and I traded my outboard motor for and had to trade back.
Even like the compressor we got from Stinky Brinker that his old man wasn't using and I traded my outboard motor for, my old m .
We tested them in the air lock of the compression chamber when we got the compressor in.
You've got to have a compressor on a spaceship, everybody knows that.
In future engines thiscompressor will be superseded by a specially designed injector, which will produce the necessary pressure at a considerable reduction in cost.
Having described generally the passage of the air from the compressor to the working cylinder, and back again to the funnel, we will now describe the details.
By pulling a line which leads to the cockpit this compressor is drawn over the hawse-hole, and the cable is thus effectually snubbed.
