Abstract
Abstract This paper describes the high-pressure turbine installation at the Northeast station of the Kansas City Power and Light Company. An operating pressure of 1200 lb. at the turbine throttle and a total temperature of 725 deg. are used. It is believed that the heat consumption of the station will be lowered 1830 B.t.u. by the operation of the high-pressure equipment. With an annual output of 530,201,400 kw-hr. and with fuel at 67,000 B.t.u. for one cent, the saving in fuel will result in an annual reduction in cost of $144,700. This is nearly three times the fixed charges on the difference in cost of the two installations.
