✦ Synopsis

POWER PLANT ECONOMY. 739

unit consists of one high-pressure 17,ooo kw. unit running at 18oo R.P.M. from which the steam is reheated to 7oo ° at approximately Ioo-lb. pressure and led to the 43,ooo kw. low-pressure unit running at I2OO R.P.M. The American Gas and Electric Company has on order eight (8) 35,ooo kw.--I8OO R.P.M. units to be installed in three different large power plants. These units are designed to operate at from 6oo to 55o-lb. pressure--725 ° steam and 29" vacuum. Reheating up to 725 ° is done at Ioo-lb. pressure.

Two (2) 4o,ooo kw.--I8OO R.P.M. units are also on order for the Columbia Gas and Electric Company, Cincinnati, Ohio.

One (I) 3ooo kw. turbine is also being built for the Edison Electric Illuminating Company of Boston to be installed in their new Weymouth Station. This turbine will operate at I2oo-lb. pressure--725 ° steam, exhausting into the 35o-lb. station main, and is designed to handle about I3O,OOO pounds of steam per hour.
