State-of-the-art Engineering Equipment
EC-101 | Steam Power Plant
- Laboratory-sized steam power plant
- Fuel-fired boiler
Description
Technical Specification
Media
This equipment is designed as a miniature modern day power plant for educational purpose. A pump supplies water from a feed tank to a small fuel fired boiler. The saturated steam can be superheated by an electric superheater (optional). The steam is throttled to single stage turbine. Exhaust from the turbine is condensed in a water-cooled condenser. Condensate is collected in a graduated beaker and returned to feed water tank by a pump. A small DC generator is connected to the turbine by a belt, and electrical load is applied. A mechanical dynamometer is provided for measurement of turbine mechanical output. The unit requires outside water supply.
Instruments are provided for monitoring and controlling of plant operation and performance as well as for safety. The unit is on a steel frame with adjustable footings.
