HEAT RATE

Here are some keywords related to heat rate: Turbine heat rate vs net heat rate vs gross heat rate in a thermal power plant. In a thermal power plant, there are different measures of heat rate that are used to evaluate the efficiency of the power plant. 1. Gross HeatRead More

Coal properties and their effect on combustion in utility boiler

Coal properties play a critical role in the combustion process in utility boilers when fired in pulverized condition. The following are some of the essential coal properties that can affect combustion:

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

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
