Excerpt from The Steam Consumption of Locomotive Engines From the Indicator Diagrams The use of steam for auxiliaries such as the air pump, the train heating system, blower, electric train - lighting sets, and also the loss of steam or water through the safety valves, blow - off valves, and boiler leaks render impossible the determination of the actual steam consumed per unit of power developed by the engines, since from to possibly 15% or 20% of the steam generated is used by the auxiliaries, or is lost. It is thus practically impossible under ordinary conditions to measure the actual steam consumption of the engines.
