Abstract
This paper deals with experiences in connection with the starting up and the initial operation of a steam-electric generating station, located at Baltimore, consisting of large cross-drum, sectional header, water tube boilers fitted with water cooled furnaces which are fired by pulverized coal. The plant operates at 450-lb. pressure with 725 deg. temperature steam, the turbines being fitted for four-stage bleeding. All auxiliaries are motor driven, the power being supplied either from direct-connected auxiliary generators, or from the main station bus bars through step-down transformers. This paper attempts to describe the major difficulties that were encountered in placing the plant in operation and outline the methods used in their elimination.
