Canadian engineer . 9, 1912. THE CANADIAN ENGINEER f33 Kerr Turbo-Generators FOR SMALL LIGHTING PLANTS The Kerr Turbine is peculiarly suited to generator driving and our sets aremade in suitable sizes to fill all requirements up to 500 kw- alternating and 350kw. direct current- The operation is economical throughout a wide range ofinitial steam pressures, the steam economy is improved by superheat, and anyexhaust conditions are permissible. When operating non-condensing, the steamconsumption compares favorably with that of a high speed engine of the samecapacity, while in condensing plants the economy at full loads equals that of thebest compound engine and at fractional loads is much better. A Kerr Turbo-Generator for lighting or small power or both is extremelyprofitable in any plant having power boilers, since the freedom of the turbineexhaust from oil makes reuse of the exhaust inexpensive and safe for boilerfeeding or any other purpose where clean low pressure steam is desirable.
