Impact of Humidity on Cooling Tower Performance
A cooling tower in a power plant is used to remove heat from condenser cooling water by transferring it to the atmosphere through the process of evaporation.The efficiency of this process is affected by the humidity levels in the surrounding air.Understanding how humidity affects cooling tower efficiency is vital forRead More
Turbine exit pressure vs condenser back pressure
The LP (Low-Pressure) turbine exit pressure, which is measured at the exhaust flange, may not be the same as the condenser backpressure. Let’s break down these two concepts: While these two pressures are related and connected in a power plant’s steam cycle, they are not necessarily the same. The pressureRead More
