Description: | Girlington shed and its two single cylinder, condensing horizontal engines were used for wool preparation. The engines were made by Brearley & Co in c.1900. They were fully loaded and were rare in using high pressure steam in simple expansion condensing cylinders. An independent jet condenser with a cooling tower was installed outside the engine room. The plant ran very well right up until the mill's closure, using only a single boiler by Hewett & Kellett. | Subjects: | Steam Engine Condensing Steam Engine Industry | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Watkins, George | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
