Tesca Mini Steam Power Plant 32459 is the smallest in our comprehensive range of Steam Power Products and has been designed to allow teaching establishments to give students an appreciation of steam and its properties, without the larger capital investment normally required. A small gas fired boiler supplies steam to a single cylinder double-acting reciprocating engine which drives, by means of a belt, a small DC generator with switchable resistive loading. The exhaust steam from the engine is condensed in a water cooled condenser, the condensate being measured by weighing the collecting beaker provided.

Instrumentation to measure various temperatures throughout the plant, steam pressure, fuel and cooling water flow, together with voltage and current loading on the DC generator, is provided.
