No. 2716 was the seventeenth member of 90 class "K-4" Kanawhas built for the C&O by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) and the Lima Locomotive Works (LLW) between 1943 and 1947. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] These locomotives were used to haul heavy freight trains, as well as fast passenger trains. [ 2 ]
The Advisory Mechanical Committee (AMC) formulated a 2-8-4 design, named the K-4 class. [2] The K-4s were reproduced from the AMC's previous designs for the Nickel Plate Road 's (NKP) 700 series 2-8-4s and the Pere Marquette Railway 's (PM) 1200 series 2-8-4s, but the K-4s were equipped with boosters to increase their tractive effort, and their ...
In 1950, the cleaning technology division was established with the development of the first European hot water high-pressure cleaner, the DS 350. [11] From the mid-1950s to the 1970s, the production of steam generators for industry and construction was a key focus for the company, while cleaning technology only later became Kärcher's main revenue-generating sector.
Built-in small storage water reservoir as part of heat exchanger (typically between 2 US gallons (7.6 L; 1.7 imp gal) to 20 gallons) Dual activation: flow sensing and thermostat control; Hybrid water heaters can be gas-fired (natural gas or propane), or be electrically powered using a combination of heat pump and conventional electric heating ...
This cast locomotive bed design was a successful trial, and was repeated on 1930s order for 100 M1a class 4-8-2s, as was the Worthington feedwater heater with mixing chamber behind the stack. K5 #5698 used conventional Walschaerts valve gear and piston valves , and developed a starting tractive effort of 54,675 lbf (243.21 kN).
Pennsylvania Railroad 1361 is a K4 class 4-6-2 "Pacific" type steam locomotive built in May 1918 by the Pennsylvania Railroad's (PRR) Juniata Shops in Altoona, Pennsylvania. It hauled mainline passenger trains in Pennsylvania and commuter trains in Central New Jersey on the PRR until its retirement from revenue service in 1956.
The result was the K4 class 4-6-2 Pacific, which was designed under the supervision of PRR Chief of Motive Power J.T. Wallis, assisted by Chief Mechanical Engineer Alfred W. Gibbs and Mechanical Engineer Axel Vogt, as one of a pair of classes with the L1 class 2-8-2 Mikado, sharing the same boiler design and other features.
It can also be used to heat a stream of gas that is used for measurement or instrumentation. Space heating is a good substitution when heat is required but traditional means, such as electricity or safety concerns over explosive gas, cannot be used. Catalytic space heaters generate infrared heat to raise the temperature in a given area. [2]
