Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Markham Grange power house For much of the year this nursery business generates its own electricity from this building. The fuel is waste wood (e.g. pallets) that is chipped and stored in the tall silo. The big building houses a W H Allen steam turbine, a Sisson reciprocating steam engine and two Belliss and Morcom engines. The Allen and Sisson can be put on the bar but the turbine is used to almost complete exclusion of the reciprocating engine (which is not really quite big enough). The plant operates in "island mode" with the grid being switched out on synchronisation.
A large steam museum has now been built in the foreground. The two flywheel halves belong to a Robey duplex engine from Friden Brickworks, Derbyshire. |
