INTRODUCTION
It is said that small is beautiful but when the topic is steam equipment for teaching and industry, then real results can only be achieved on real equipment. Real in this context relates to equipment of an industrial nature instrumented to meet the requirements of a teaching laboratory; this forms the basis of the steam power plants available from Cussons. The features incorporated and power ratings chosen constitute an excellent representation of industrial practice within the limitations of an educational laboratory, and their design incorporates safety features to minimise any risk in operation.

DESCRIPTION
Cussons P7690 Steam Power Plant is designed as a comprehensive self contained unit with all relevant items of equipment factory mounted on a common steel bedplate. This modular construction and assembly greatly reduces space and installation requirements. The plant can operate as a steam boiler, turbo-generator or complete power plant, and has been specifically designed to facilitate student comprehension and operation. This is achieved through relaying all instrumentation and controls to a central console incorporating a schematic diagram of the complete Steam Power Plant System. A student work surface is provided to allow for manual recording of required parameters, with all variables additionally available as signals suitable for data logging.

FEATURES
Comprehensive facility for complete investigation of steam power plant. Major components utilised are of standard industrial practice.

Self-contained single base assembly greatly reduces space and installation requirements. Low capital cost. Low fuel maintenance costs. Comprehensive modern instrumentation with all measured variables conditioned for data logging purposes. Control console incorporating instrumentation schematic for complete operation. 10 Channel Safety Shutdown System and all components built to British Safety Standards.
