Hello all!
I had a unique question today in the Chart Room. I thought I would post the answer I got from our Engineers in the Engine room since I couldn't find the answer on here.
What are the sizes of the cylinders on the AMERICAN QUEEN?
Double Expansion Reciprocating Engines built by Nordberg Engineering, Milwaukee, WI for the US Army Corps of Engineers Dredge KENNEDY in 1932.
The Low Pressure Cylinder is 30" in Diameter
The High Pressure Cylinder is 15" in Diameter
Total horsepower of the set (High and Low Pressure on either side of the wheel) 1500hp.
