CENTRAL-STATION AND INDUSTRIAL! BOILERS A SINGLE RESPONSIBILITY An important advantage in the selection of B&W steam-gent equipment is the ability of The Babcock & Wilcox Company to f completely integrated units--from raw-coal feeders or fuel-oil and heaters to breechings and stacks--to meet all the variant quired by industrial plant practice and backed by the undivit* sponsibility of a single manufacturer. 'll . B&W CENTRAL-STATION BOILERS High-duty central-station boilers, manufactured by B&W since 1881, are available in a wide variety of designs--either slag-tap or dry bot tom. Being unrestricted as to capacity, steam characteristics, or method of firing, B&W en gineers can recommend the unit that best meets individual customer requirements. High availa bility with low operating and maintenance costs characterizes B&W installations in the nation's largest power plants. The boiler shown (left) is a vertically-fired radiant boiler with a pres surized, dry-bottom furnace. Steam capacity is 1,335,000 lb per hr at 2075 psi and 1050 F, with reheat to 1050 F. Design pressure is 2400 psi. It is pulverized coal fired with eight B&W pulverizers. It is one of two units installed in trie Power Co. on the American Gas and System. The B&W Radiant Boiler illustrated is one of the two units in operation at the*^ River Plant of Wisconsin Power and Big"** Each unit produces 525,000 lb per hr at l5Wff with steam temperature of 1005 F and reb<*^ 1005 F. The units are pressurized and equipped with three B&W Cyclone Currently under construction at the Plant of Ohio Power Company on the Gas and Electric System is B&W's Pressure Steam Generator, the first c0lDIt?^$ supercritical pressure unit (right). It design pressure of 5500 psi, delivering ruf to the turbine at 4500 psi and 1150 F. k/ta ft A McGBAW-WJU PI/EI/CA770N gfe?Vrss= $?? Sw. * 55 ' * MODERN PLANT SURVEY............... ..
