TABLE II.--_Cost of Air Power in Terms of Indicated Horse Power_.
Abbreviated column headings:
Qty. Air: Quantity of Air at 45 lbs. Pressure required per Ind. H.P. per
Hour.
Cost/Hr.: Cost per Hour at 5d. per 1000 Cubic Feet.
Cost/Hr. w/rebate: Cost per Hour with Rebate when Profits reach 26 per
Cent.
Cost/Yr.: Cost per Annum (2700 Hours) at 5d. per 1000 Cubic Feet.
Cost/Yr. w/rebate: Cost per Annum with Rebate when Profits reach 26 per
Cent.
Abbreviated row headings:
CASE 1.--Where air at 45 lbs. pressure is re-heated to 320 deg. Fahr., and
expanded to atmospheric pressure.
CASE 2.--Where air at 45 lbs. pressure is heated by boiling water to
212 deg. Fahr., and expanded to atmospheric pressure.
CASE 3.--Where air is used expansively without re-heating, whereby
intensely cold air is exhausted, and may be used for ice making, &c.
CASE 4.--Where air is heated to 212 deg. Fahr., and the terminal pressure is
11.3 lbs. above that of the atmosphere
CASE 5.--Where the air is used without heating, and cut off at one-third
of the stroke, as in ordinary slide-valve engines
CASE 6.--Where the air is used without re-heating and without expansion.
