Baron von Olstrad Comic 7 - Don’t Choke Your Furnace

http://www.baron.olstrad.com/text/page-13-14.html

Baron Von Olsträd's Sketchbook. Don’t Choke Your Furnace. After a somewhat lethargic effort, Nic strode to the nearest window and threw open the sash. The wheezing stopped, my pipe stayed lit, and old Jeffers woke from his nap. Nic’s report was that we had starved the room of oxygen! It occurs to me that some people (not you, I am sure) do the same thing to their furnace(s)! Just like throwing open the window, keeping your air filter clean allows your furnace to operate the proper way!

Baron von Olstrad Comic 3 - The Proper way to light a burner

http://www.baron.olstrad.com/text/page-5-6.html

Baron Von Olsträd's Sketchbook. The Proper Way to Light a Burner. As a pre-eminent natural philosopher, I have studied animal species all over the earth. A common trait my good friend Dr. Darwin has noted is a drive for both individual survival and survival of the species. In higher order being such as homo sapiens. One expects that the survival drive is especially pronounced. But my research assistants. Have found examples where contrary behavior is routinely practiced. Combustion911 has a full line of ...

Baron Von Olstrad's Sketchbook - Hot Air Rises - Heat Radiates

http://www.baron.olstrad.com/text/page-1-2.html

Baron Von Olsträd's Sketchbook. As I was telling my students, Tom Edisen and Nicola Tesla. There is a common misconception that heat rises. NO IT DOES NOT! Heat radiates equally in all directions. HOWEVER, hot air rises relative to cooler air (this is why hot air balloons work and why most politicians, managers, and some (not me, of course) professors are more likely found closer to the ceiling than the floor. I told Nicola once. Thomas I had to tell 99 times.

Baron von Olstrad Comic 6 - How Low is Your Purge Time?

http://www.baron.olstrad.com/text/page-11-12.html

Baron Von Olsträd's Sketchbook. How Low is Your Purge Time? One morning not long ago, I was taking my exercise, strolling merrily along deep in thought, when I noticed that I’d strayed from my usual path. A commotion issued from one of our grand old manufactories, from which I happened to be just across the street, and I realized that I was in the industrial sector. For a combustion system that complies with all current safety requirements, contact the sharp fellows at the Olsträd Engineering Corporation.

Baron von Olstrad Comic 2 - Burner Tuning

http://www.baron.olstrad.com/text/page-3-4.html

Baron Von Olsträd's Sketchbook. The Black Art of Burner Tuning. An amusing pastime for learned instructors in the arts, such as myself, is watching the unlearned folk adjust their various combustion equipages on furnaces, ovens and boilers. These people act as if tuning a simple burner is black magic rather than a proper procedure using sound scientific principles. The basics to keep in mind when tuning burners are the following:. Practice, practice practice. Of course, beyond the basics there can be man...

Baron von Olstrad Comic 5 - Futility Burner Lighting

http://www.baron.olstrad.com/text/page-9-10.html

Baron Von Olsträd's Sketchbook. Einstein (not one of my students, but still a pretty good time at the bars), famously defines insanity as: "doing the same thing again and again and expecting different results." I see this everyday in the break room but, unfortunately for the famous Albert, sometimes the dollar makes it through, and the future diabetic gets the soda. There are fellows in the manufactory who do the same thing but with a bit more risk!

Baron von Olstrad Comic 4 - Commissioning a Burner Should not take a Lifetime

http://www.baron.olstrad.com/text/page-7-8.html

Baron Von Olsträd's Sketchbook. Commissioning shouldn't take literally a lifetime. In the days of Empire my illustrious ancestors would take "the passage" from our native shores to the far-flung colonies. This could take awhile. In modern times, the railroad, the aeroplane, and even cruise liners can make the same trip in days or even hours. Progressing from construction to useful production on your industrial furnace should be smooth, and rapid, sailing.
