POWER _ Before modernization oi the E. Jefferson Avenue Detroit plant of KaiserTrator, seven coal lired boilers dating from 1911 and 1920 were in service. The new power plant consists of 3--20,000 pounds per hour Erie City "VL's" for oil and gas firing. They supply steam for heating and process. .li^.BtiUery o! 3 Erie City "VL's1'--oil and ISiadWlhat replaced ? obsolete coal iirod ill a Detroit plant of Kalser-Frazer Corporation. M towifySectional view of standard factory' t&obled Erie City "VL" boiler with Erie City ^ler|sioker. Available for all firing methods; While the cost oi steam, using coal, would be about 5 cents less per thousand pounds, the use of oil and gas.reduced capital investment due to the elimination of new coal storage and allied equipment. Average . boiler eiiiciency of the 3 new Erie.City "VL" boilers .is 81.5%. Power house labor was reduced from 14 to 6 men. The combined savings from greater efficiency, minimum maintenance and reduced labor costs is expected to pay (or the new boiler installation in 18 months. Aro you wasting fuel dollars with worn out boilers? Let Erie City Engineers recommend steam generators that will pay for themselves out of savings. 20 Pag* Catalog describing Erlo City "VLY* ia detail hows its easy edap/abUitr to all firing methods and Ulustretea Its superior design features.
