Water Under Pressure AS q Source of
Energy.
A hydro-electric plant of considera-
BILE interest is now in course of con-
struction at Antwerp, Belgium. The
aim of the work is to avoid the high
cost of the continuous current wiring
and the high tension of the alternating
current, which apparently is disturb
ing to the Belgian mind. The plant
aims to overcome these alleged objec-
tions by using water under pressure as
a source of energy, which is distributed
through street pipes to a number of
small stations. In these stations are a
number of hydraulic motors driving
dynamos which deliver continuous
current over an area of about 1,640
feet radius around each substation.
The plant now building has main
station containing two horizontal COM
pound condensing Sulzer engines, with
cylinders Of 800 and 43.3 inches dame
ter and Ala inches stroke, running at a
speed of thirty to seventy-tive revolu-
tions minute. They are directly con-
nected to the pumps, which deliver
about sixteen and half gallons of
water per revolution each, under a
pressure of about 760 pounds, The
water is then piped through steel
mains to the slbstations, about seven
and half miles of these mains being
required. ed.-Engineering Record.
