Mini Steam Power Plant
OSC77FD120TH
Features
-This is a bench top unit for a small low cost miniature power plant designed for educational purpose-A small gas fired boiler supplies steam to a single cylinder, double acting reciprocating engine
-A small DC generator is connected to the engine by a belt and an electrical load is applied using small light bulbs
-Exhaust from the steam engine is condensed in a water cooled condensor
-Condensate is collected for weight measurement and is returned to feed water tank
-A manual feed pump supplies feed water to the boiler
-Instruments are provided for monitoring and controlling the plant operation and performance as well as for safety
Typical Experiments
-Fuel consumption-Efficiencies for boiler, engine, and overall plan
-Condenser heat transfer coefficient
-Heat balance and energy unilization
