Abstract
Abstract Advanced design is the keynote of the new 160,000-kw Oswego Station of the Niagara Hudson Power System. In the present paper, the many outstanding and original features incorporated in this two-unit, one-boiler-per-turbine plant are described and illustrated. Among these are the 80,000-kw single-spindle condensing turbine for 1250-psi 900-F steam; soot blowers which use 250-lb compressed air for the blowing medium to save 1250-lb steam, and which operate automatically in succession on a pre-selected schedule; electric couplings of the eddy-current type for control of fan speeds; pilot operation of boiler safety valves for obtaining better protection and reduced maintenance; acceleration of the main generator for synchronous-condenser operation by motorizing its direct-connected exciter.
