STEAM TURBINE SOAKING

The soaking period in a steam turbine is the time it takes for all of the turbine’s internal parts to reach the same temperature before it is started up. This is important because steam turbines are very large and complex machines, and the different parts of the turbine expand atRead More

Reducing Boiler Feed Pump Oversizing

Is it possible to reduce feed pump capacity with the oversized existing pump? If so, how? (AP_BOE_2010_P_1) Yes, it is possible to reduce feed pump capacity with an oversized existing pump. There are several methods that can be used to achieve this, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. **Impeller trimming:**Read More

Causing of fluctuations in working pressure of a boiler

What are the causes of fluctuations in working pressure of a boiler? (AP_BOE_2010_P_1) 1. **Fluctuation in load:** This is a common cause of boiler pressure fluctuations. When the demand for steam increases, the boiler pressure will drop as the boiler tries to generate more steam. Conversely, when the demand forRead More

Soot blowing procedure

Describe soot blowing procedure (AP_ BOE_2010_P_1) Soot blowing is a crucial process in maintaining the efficiency and lifespan of boilers. It involves using high-pressure steam or air to remove soot and ash deposits from the boiler’s heat transfer surfaces. These deposits can impede heat transfer, leading to reduced boiler efficiencyRead More
