plant is a joint undertaking of
Delaware Power G. Light Company,
The Eastern Shore Public Service
Company Maryland and Eastern
Shore Public Service Company of
Virginia. The plant as it stands to-
day represents total investment
well over thirty million dollars. It
is planned to take care of the pres
ent electric power needs of the ter
ritory and allow for future growth
and expansion. Several years are
required for planning an electric
plant, raising the money and build
ing it. The company cano1t wait
until the customers call for extra
power; they must be ready with
facilities to provide it as needed.
The new unit" consists basicaI-
ly OF a 15-story steam generator
built by Babcock & Wilcox and a
415-ton electric generator built by
Westinghouse. Plans for building
1T were announced early in 1866
and construction was started that
year.
For weeks prior to its compile
ton, engineers tested the electrical
and mechanical systems of the
generating equipment. Nothing can
be left to chance where steam at
1000 degrees under pressure of
1900 pounds per square inch is in
yolved. Neither can there be any
margin for error with turbine
blades that revolve 5000 times
every minute. Some idea of the
care, skill and exactitude of con-
struction of a turbogenerator may
be gained from this statement made
by Westinghouse engineer: Clear
ances in terms of thousands of an
inch are used between stationary
and moving, parts within this tur-
bine, yet the turbogenerator is over
81 feet in length and weighs ap-
proximately 415 tons.
While rotating at speed of
$500 rpm, the tip of the last row
of blades in the turbine will exceed
a speed of 400 miles per hour and
yet the machine will operate so
smoothly that standing next to the
turbine while it operates at full
load, an inexperienced person will
be unable to tell whether it is even
running"
When the two $4,000 kilowatt
turbogenerators are operating at
maximum capacity, about one ton
of coal will be used every minute.
Through the operating economies
of large scale production the cleo
trio cOmDanY aims fp serve nOwar
to Delmarva In whatever quantity
it is needed, at reasonable rates.
