Condensate Extraction Pump
A condenser extraction pump is a type of pump used in power plants to remove the condensed steam from the condenser and pump it back into the boiler. It is also known as a condensate extraction pump. In a power plant, the steam that is generated in the boiler isRead More
Why canister vent is provided in condensate extraction pump?
A canister vent is provided in a condensate extraction pump in a thermal power plant to prevent the buildup of air and other gases in the pump casing. As the pump operates, air and other gases can enter the casing and collect in the top of the casing, reducing theRead More
Recuperative Tubular Air Preheater
A tubular air preheater is a type of heat exchanger that is commonly used in thermal power plants to improve the efficiency of the boiler by recovering waste heat from the flue gases. It preheats the combustion air before it enters the boiler, which helps to reduce the energy requiredRead More
Volatile matter in coal
Volatile matter in coal refers to the components of coal that are released as gas or vapor when the coal is heated or burned. Volatile matter is an important factor in determining the properties of coal, as it affects the combustion behavior, heating value, and environmental impact of the coal.Read More
Loss of excitation in generator
Loss of excitation in a generator refers to a situation where the magnetic field in the generator collapses due to a failure in the excitation system. The excitation system is responsible for maintaining the magnetic field in the generator, which is essential for the generation of electricity. When the excitationRead More
