Power Plant

 Here is the wall where we are posting all the winter greetings we get emailed from other stations around the continent and else where in the world. We got a happy solstice greeting from Greenland and a letter from the president.
 The past few days I have been going down to the power plant and learning about generators and helping do some maintenance work on generator 4.

 This is the power plant. It is down in the arches, buried under the ice.

 We have four main generators and we only run one at a time. The waste heat from the generators is run through a glycol heat exchanger which carries the heat up to the station to keep it warm.

I helped replace the part that houses the valves that regulate intake, fuel injection and exhaust (the slightly darker metal part below the lighter metal part and above the yellow parts). 

Good wintering over comic in the power plant office.
