Mechanic working on what appears to be a turbine.
Coal crushed to 3/16-inch by 0 is pumped to a pulverizer that grinds it to 90-per cent hrough 200-mesh. The product is mixed with air and burned in the combustors. Hot high-speed gas from the ash separators drives the turbine, air compressor, and electric generators. Exhaust from the turbine passes through a regenerator that preheats compressed air to the combustors. If used, please credit Bureau of Mines, U.S. Department of the Interior.
'A small portion of the hot ash-laden gas stream entering the turbine is continuously removed by this ash-sampling unit. Data from the operation of this unit is analyzed to determine the concentration, size, and composition of the ash in the hot gases entering the turbine.'
