Re: Steam engine from the North Caucasus
When starting with a compressor producing of pressure 5 kg\ cm..I was able to get 77-78 rpm in forward gear,I got 82-84 rpm. All my subsequent adjustments failed to increase forward RPM. In addition?when pressure is applied to the first HP cylinder, strong condensation occurs and oil drip heavily from the a box. Even though I use a lot of oil. Rust builds heavily in the HP cylinder itself.There"s no rust in the LP cylinder.
