On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, according to the old customs of the Chinese, 369 went out to walk, and the eleventh day of the first lunar month was still in the year, and generally no one went out, and everyone was still immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year.

Located on the southern side of the Straits of Malacca, Penang, a port city that is not very important compared to Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, has welcomed a special cargo ship, which was specially transported by the Shi family shipping company specially requested by Tan Kah Kee, this ship is loaded with generator sets destined for Penang.

Before the ship set sail, Chen Jiageng once came to see the generator set, the annual output of 1 million kilowatt hours of generator set, in his impression, should be very large, but the northwest is very small, if it is not for the precision motor and steam turbine, he even thought that the northwest is a liar. (Yesterday I wrote casually, there are some clerical errors, 100,000 kilowatt generator sets are not small in the 21st century, it is almost impossible to reach in the 20th century, the limit is almost 900 million degrees a year, some are too exaggerated, Nanyang can not be used up, the previous chapter was revised to an annual output of 1 million kilowatt degrees.) ）

However, although I am not sure in my heart, Chen Kah Kee's self-cultivation did not say it directly, but did not directly mention the payment, at that time, Zhu Hua and Yang Shu did not make the payment, and the proportion of payment, and told Chen Kah Kee that they were good, for this rising star that Yang Yuanzhao attaches special importance to, they maintained a lot of patience, sent it to Penang, and even installed it.

Chen Jiageng had doubts, so he was always fair, and he did not mention the advance payment, or the down payment or anything like that, and calmly watched the engineer operate and prepare to be connected to the grid to generate electricity and supply electricity to the factory. will finally settle the payment, and Penang is also one of Tan Kah Kee's turf. Even if the other party is really cheating, he can't turn it over.

For the sake of attention. Zhu Hua came in person, with two power engineers, both of whom had participated in the battle of the Northwest Electric Power Project, and participated in the installation of 10,000 kilowatt steam turbine motors, which was one of the crystallizations of Baotou electric power industry, and the extreme effect brought by the eight series 6000 horsepower large steam turbines, the power generation of one was 240,000 kWh a day, and 8760 kWh a year. This is enough power generation to support a large industrial area.

Compared with this, the generator set sold to Chen Jiageng is only 110 kilowatts, which can really only be used as a pocket-sized one, and can be used in small towns before, when grid-connected power generation, high-voltage transmission technology has entered a peak era, especially after the completion of several large transmission lines in the northwest, these are almost semi-eliminated. Leave it in some necessary places for use as an emergency power supply.

The one sold to Chen Jiageng is not brand new, it was refurbished and renovated under the previous normal use. There are a total of 100 units in Nanyang, which are mainly used to supply farms with power generation, and 12 of them can be transferred as commodities. At a lower price, it was transferred to Tan Kah Kee.

Because the power is less. The horsepower of the whole unit is only about 1050 horsepower, which is a steam engine. Now the northwest has been able to complete more than 200 horsepower gasoline engine and diesel engine, with parallel small engine, may be a little higher thermal effect conversion, it is easier to achieve, but the fuel is relatively uneconomical, compared to coal, plus the miniaturization of the steam engine is also in progress, 525 horsepower of two parallel steam turbines, so that the entire core steam engine is reduced to the extreme, the overall will not exceed 5 cubic meters, plus some other transfer and transformation facilities, That is, an ordinary 80 square meter house can be accommodated below.

Such a relatively mature product, compared with the products of the powers, the environment is harsh, there is more steam, and there are many things that need to be protected, here is very clean, and there is even a more intuitive control platform, the operator generally does not need to enter the main generator room, even if it enters, the main generator room, the sealing of the steam engine is excellent, there is almost no steam leakage, safe and assured.

In addition to cleaning the house and transforming the house into a suitable state, it took 7 days, and the installation of the real generator, 2 engineers with 15 workers, only took 18 hours, an average of two days, and only 9 hours a day.

Chen Kah Kee has been paying attention to this matter, the front of the house renovation, he is fully supportive, in order to see, how to do this so-called German and American plantation, get the news that the generator is connected to the grid for power generation, the heart moved slightly, come, so fast, must be a liar, when he went to the Penang Power Generation Bureau to inspect, he knew that the Penang Power Generation Authority's annual power generation capacity is about 30,000 kWh, when the construction was completed, it took 1 year, just like that, in the whole Southeast Asia, it is also fast. The unit itself is small, and the speed of installation is also fast, which is too unwanted, and it takes less than 10 days before and after, and it is not hard to deceive people.

Chen Jiageng, who was quiet, quietly instructed, the factory was ready, all production lines were reduced production, ready to accept power outages at any time, and all civilian or non-personnel dangerous production lines were at full power, under his estimates, at least about 5,000 kilowatt hours an hour, thinking about it, it should be verified, and when the time comes, look at the qiē Lu stuffing, what do they say.

Engineers because of the eagerness to install, in the process of installation, but also to some of the Chen family personnel training, this small generator set is relatively simple, to put it bluntly, he is a boiler connected to the steam turbine, or relatively small kind, the heat conversion rate is not high, only about 14%, coal consumption is also very large, one kilowatt-hour of electricity has exceeded one kilogram, this in later generations, it can definitely be called backward production capacity, but in this era, it is an advanced and powerful generator, even compared to the large generator sets of the powers, More than a lot, too.

This is very simple, in this era, the generator is just the initial stage, and even the use of a relatively small steam engine, rarely use a steam turbine, plus some necessary settings, heat recovery and other aspects of the insufficiency, most of the heat conversion rate is less than 10%, a large number of dù are wasted, the cost is more than double that of this small one.

A large amount of high-quality coal is loaded into the boiler, when the coal is relatively cheap and more abundant, the price of coal with a high combustion value is not much higher than the lower combustion value, and even compared to the battleship, the generator is a delicate thing, because the battleship can be cleaned up, can be shut down, the generator, can not stop without stopping, the larger the unit, the greater the loss of a day of downtime.

The steam engine began to run, the turbine converted the kinetic energy brought by the heat into electric energy, the instrument panel kept moving, the pointer on it was high and low, the engineer in charge of the installation, looked at the number on the dashboard seriously, and made adjustments from time to time, at this time, the people who followed them did not talk much, just silently memorized the action, when the number of the index finally stabilized, only an engineer said: "The index has been reached, and it can be connected to the grid for power generation!" ”

Zhu Hua next to him hurriedly said to Chen Jiageng: "Boss Chen, you can connect to the grid!" ”

Chen Jiageng's face was calm, he couldn't see any expression, and said, "Then connect to the grid!" ”

Chen Jiageng agreed, but the engineer did not connect to the grid, but asked: "I don't know what is the power of the power equipment connected now?" ”

"Power?" Chen Jiageng squinted his eyes and said secretly in his heart, sure enough, the liar must find all kinds of ways to cover himself, this is a good way to delay time, to facilitate their layout, fortunately, he was prepared, so that his engineers who are familiar with electricity have calculated, and said directly: "About 5000 watts!" ”

5000 watts, replaced by the familiar unit of electricity, that is, about 5 degrees, which is low compared with the northwest side, often tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, but the total amount is definitely a lot, equal to 120 kilowatt-hours a day, for most families, it may take more than a dozen families in later generations to use so much, in the machine qì factory, it is considered to use a lot of electricity.

However, for the power of this generator, it is not too high, and the engineer solemnly ordered: "Run at one-twentieth of the power to reduce core consumption!" ”

When a qiē is done, this engineer carefully connected a part of the circuit to the grid, not the full amount, the other circuit, then zero operation, to prevent the voltage formed by excessive current, damage to electrical appliances and motors, insufficient consumption, production is large, will produce huge pressure on substation facilities and step-down facilities.

The grid connection was successful, and the one over there was running normally, and Chen Jiageng was also a little strange, especially when he heard clearly before, only one-twentieth of the power, could the northwest really use such a small generator to complete the annual output of 1 million kilowatt-hours of electricity?

It probably ran smoothly for more than half an hour, and Chen Jiageng instructed the personnel to prepare early, and did not find any signs of power outage, which shows that this generator can smoothly support all his factories, which really surprised Chen Jiageng, of course, he is also a little curious about the limit of these generators, because his factory is going to be expanded, how to prove that this can produce 1 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year, this is a problem.

Chen Jiageng asked this question in a consultative tone, but Zhu Hua was a little embarrassed, he was a combat and command talent, but he didn't know much about engineering, looking at the engineer next to him, his eyes lit up, and he transferred this question to them.

The two engineers thought for a while, and then said to Chen Jiageng: "About this generator, we have our own set of verification methods, of course, may not be recognized by you, when it came out, a researcher in the research laboratory gave us a method, very intuitive, a little bit of engineering knowledge can be."

"What's the method?" At this moment, not only Chen Jiageng was very curious, but Zhu Hua next to him and some of the engineers of the Chen family were also curious, electricity, even the powers, are inferred according to the power and thermal effect, the northwest side said that the thermal effect is very high, but there is no substance, you can't calculate it little by little, what is the intuitive method?
