Design Features of the Port Washington Power Plant

This paper presents an analytical discussion of some of the important decisions reached in the design of the new Port Washington power plant. The initial section of the station will have a capacity of 80,000 kw and will utilize 1,230 lb steam pressure and 825 deg F steam temperature at the throttle and 825 deg F steam temperature at the reheat point. Summaries of certain economic studies, which formed the bases for decisions, are included, but no statistical information on the various pieces of equipment.
