Number 188 Mercury engine halves Cost of fuel invention will double electric Power of Coal Mercury produce first its own vapor and then steam final saving a fourth Kwh engine not Only raves Viki j bit cl7 to transportation costs by Harold Matson Nea sonic staff writer Hartford. Conn. May 7.�?one of the most important advances in the history of science and Industry is Bein accomplished Here in Hartford. A new Power medium Mercury vapor. Is replacing steam to generate electricity. A Success that meets All expectations. The Mercury engine cuts the Cost of electricity by one fourth. It conserves fuel. It cuts transportation costs. To gives new Access to almost j inexhaustible electric Power and of j footing All Industry it promises to i put manufacturing on a higher plane j of economic efficiency. The first Mercury engine in the world it has been generating elec Triciti for the Hartford electric Light company for More than a year supplementary to the company a steam engines. Principle is simple a highly technical and intricate. Invention the Mercury engine is most simply described As it compares v Ith the Ordinary steam engine. Instead of boiling water to create steam pressure Mercury is boiled to create vapor pressure. Water boils at 212 degrees fahrenheit Mercury at 677. Water condenses at too de crees Mercury at 455. The Mercury vapor exhausted in the Mercury Turbine where it has accomplished its pressure to generate 1800 kilowatts is carried to a condenser. Being a a cooled by water a Onde sinc at 4 55 degrees it is still of far greater heat than boiling water. Thus the a Cooling water becomes steam and then it is sent through the Turbine creating a pressure to drive a second Generator. The result is simple two fold production or generation from one pressure development. Retold plainly the Mercury is boiled its vapor creates Power then is used As fuel to heat water the steam of which produces More Power. The great Economy is due to saving in Coal fuel two pounds of pressure being produced where but one was produced before. A electric asserts Samuel Ferguson president of the local company a can look Forward to making Coal go twice As far As before. However such a reduction in Cost of fuel does not mean cutting the Price of producing electricity in half As fuel represents but one Quarter of Tho total Cost of producing electricity by a steam the Mercury vapor engine is the invention of w. L. R. Emmet of the general electric company at Schenectady n. T. He has worked several years on the engine first experimenting with smaller units. Perhaps his chief task after fhe principle of the things was proved was to construct larger plants for Quantity production. Danger of mercurial poisoning was overcome by welding of the joints. It is practically impossible for the Mercury fumes to escape but in Case Thoro should he a leakage by a second safety arrangement the fumes Are sucked into a stack. At present Mercury Sells for about so cents a Pound. The 30.000 pounds used in the Hartford boiler Are capable of producing by vapor and by steam approximately 41 of kilowatts. Or 7.3 pounds of Mercury per kilowatt. Experiments indicate that four pounds will soon produce one j kilowatt. However the huge initial Cost is distributed Over a Long period the same Mercury being used Over and Over again. Scientists who have watched the Mercury engines development Are convinced it is one of the most important inventions of an Industrial age possibilities of the Mercury engine being reduced to smaller units for ships hotels or even motor cars is not being Given serious consideration. The contrary the ultimate in Mercury turbines is the Gigantic Plant that feeds an entire Region.
