Alex ander Dow, general manager of the the Detroit Edison Co., addressed Engineering the upon T r e nd of Recent Central Station Practice. T he trend of progress in this line, he says, is due partly to to experience, fashion and partly fashion usually representing good practice of two or three years ago. Central station practice in common with almost every form of Amer ican. industry is rapidly changing. Many methods that were considered good practice three or four years ago are now rarely used in efficient plants. A few years ago the attention of in engineers was largely occupied trying to obtain a more economical the power plants, operation but this phase of the practice has been so exploited in technical schools and at the meetings of engineering societies, and engineers in practice have met with such success along this line that today inefficient power plants are rarely seen, and the cost of operation has been so lowered that it is an item of comparativelv little importance in the total costs. of In almost all central power sta tions the fixed charges are greater than the operating expenses. De preciation, taxation and interest, all functions of. fixed charges, have now become the largest cost factors and the trend of all central station practice is towards lower first costs, thus keeping down vested. the amount in saves in use. In boilers the tendency is towards the use of a limited number of very large boilers, some of as high as 2200 h. p. being These boilers require very large grate area and must be fired from two or three floor sides, but their use In the space and lowers first costs. engine room nothing but turbines are being used down to 500 k.w. Turbines give an almost constant efficiency under varying loads, are very reliable and require very low- labor and lubricant Costs. H i g h er steam pressures are being accepted, but the degree of super-heat used to about 150° F. has been lowered high because of super-heat upon castings. the effects of One very noticeable feature of central station practice is the large increase in the number of small mo tors that are being used in commer cial plants.
