Developing Stationary Engine 163 



being made necessary by the fact that the 

 turbine is exhausting to a condenser. The 

 steam consumption of these turbines is 

 very little more than an ordinary turbine 

 for any given load, of course, taking into 

 account the amount of steam being passed 

 out. Such turbines are now available up 

 to about 7,000 k.w. 



Diesel Engines 



Diesel engines have been available for 

 many years now, and recently one was 

 brought out as a totally enclosed high-speed 

 engine, being made in three standards. 

 These three standards can be modified and 

 varied to meet most requirements between 

 150 and 1,000 k.w. They are of the land 

 type, being particularly suitable for driving 

 electric generators, and are easily adaptable 

 for shipboard use. They embody all the 

 experience gained in the manufacture of 

 high-speed reciprocating steam engines over 

 a period of many years, and the forced
