Описание к видео 600 HP Snow Compressor Engine - Saturday afternoon run

600 HP Snow Compressor Engine - Saturday afternoon run.

These engines were used in gas pipeline pumping stations. This one came out of Roystone Station, between Kane and Warren.

At the time of this video, the engine was being run well below design speed, at approximately 64 rpm, as the cooling water plumbing was incomplete at the time. The museum has the gas supply to run it at full speed, approx 100 rpm, on all 4 ends.

It is also proposed to connect the compressor, and get the engine under load. Air would be used as a load, rather than gas. There is some concern that it would be slightly loud...
