In this location its effective area starts from a smallerinner diameter, so that the required area can be obtained with asmaller outer diameter. Fig. 102 represents diagrammatically an Allis-Chalmers * A 24,000-horsepower steam turbine has been constructed at the Mannheimworks of Brown-Boveri & Co. for the Krupp steel works and blast furnace plant atRheinhausen. It is probably the largest turbine yet ordered for stationary service. The governing and overload valve designs of Brown-Boveri & turbinesare described and discussed on pages 292 and 305. 210 THE STEAM TURBINE. 3^3
