Deanshanger Oxides - power house
Latterly operated by Harcros Chemicals, this iron oxide pigment works had a powerhouse containing four Browett, Lindley compound steam engines driving alternators. The plant was still at work when photographed but has subsequently been scrapped. This shows one of the four sets that was running at the time (I can tell because the barring holes in the flywheel rim are not visible due to blurring).
This type of power house has disappeared although there are sound thermodynamic reasons to use this type of plant when low grade steam heat is required for process.

This is the maker's plate from one of the three older engines (one from 1915 and two from 1927). The fourth engine was built in Letchworth in 1947. In 1990 this plant was in 24/7 operation and on the day of our visit three engines were running and one was down for maintenance.

This shows one of the four engines that was running at the time. The bottom left corner shows part of the alternator rotor from an engine undergoing maintenance.
This type of power house has vanished although there may be the odd engine of this type we do not know about.
