.Europe's Largest
Steam Boilers

STOCKHOLM = The largest
steam boiler in Europe, and the
biggest turbine of double rotation
type in the world, will be set up at
the state steam power station at
Vasteras in central Sweden. This
information is given in a news
paper interview by Mr.. H. Hans
son, works manager of this plant.
The new boiler will be of about
the same type as the present
tower" boiler, 210 TT. high and
installed in a nine-story building.
but will be somewhat larger. 1t
will produce 300 tons of steam
per hour, and the efficiency will
be very high because of a steam
temperature of AIS degrees cent?
grade and pressure of 80 atmos-
pheres. The present boiler can be
heated to maximum production in
20 minutes, the water being pre-
heated by means of surplus power
from the hydro-electric plants in
the night time, and the new plant
will be built for a similar rapid
heating.
The new steam-turbine will be
of the Swedish Ljungstrom make,
while the generator will be made
by ASEA. The boiler will be built
by the power plant itself, the parts
being ordered from various firms.
The plant is expected to be ready
for service in a couple of years.
The Vasteras power plant is a
reserve station. which is mainly
taken into use when water power
is scarce or when any difficulty
occurs in the long-distance trans
mission lines from the large
water-poWer stations in northern
Sweden.
