Description

In a steam power plant, thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy, and ultimately into electrical energy. A steam power plant consists of a heat source for generating steam, a turbine or steam engine with generator, and a cooling device for condensing. The steam engine is used to convert thermal energy into mechanical energy.

The steam engine, together with the brake unit as a consumer of the electrical energy and the steam generator, forms a complete steam power plant. The trainer includes a steam engine, a condenser and a condensate tank, and comprehensive instrumentation.
