Turbo Blower - Blowing Engine

In the first two rooms of the Blowing Engine Building are two Ingersoll-Rand Turbo-Blowers. These were brought to Sloss in 1949 and 1951.
They are centrifugal compressors driven by steam turbines. These compact, efficient Turbo-Blowers did the work of all eight of the original Blowing Engines
located directly behind the back Turbo-Blower rooms. The Turbo-Blowers created very hot temperatures in the building, sometimes as hot as 120 degrees in the summer months.
