TH 130 MINI STEAM TURBINE POWER PLANT
This equipment is designed as a table top miniature modern day power plant for educational purpose.
A pump supplies water from a feed tank to a small gas fired boiler. The saturated steam can be superheated by an electric superheater (optional). The steam is throttled to the 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. The dynamometer is provided for mechanical power measurement. The unit requires outside water supply. Condenser water cooling unit is available (optional).
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.
Instruction manual is also included.
