ET 810

Single-Cylinder Steam Engine

Technical Description

The unit contains the key components of a steam power plant: a gas-heated boiler, a double-acting single-cylinder piston steam engine with generator, a condenser and a feed water supply with tank and pump. All necessary safety devices are fitted.

A supply of mains electricity, water and propane gas are required for operation.
