- Summary
- Babcock and Wilcox synopsis: Despite rapid developments in the field of atomic energy, coal will be, for many years to come, a maro source of power. The Babcock Cyclone furnace, most modern method of coal-firing large power station and industrial boilers, is playing an important part in making the most efficient use of the world’s coal resources, and in addition, solves the major problem of ash-disposal from large boilers.
The film, after describing the operation of the Cyclone furnace with an animated diagram, shows Cyclones during manufacture and installation, and refers briefly to the story of research and testing behind their development. This item is a short, popular extract from the Company’s technical film "Cyclone Firing". - Keywords
