Boiler Drum Level Control in Subcritical Boilers: Ensuring Safe and Efficient Operation

In subcritical boilers, the drum level control plays a crucial role in maintaining the desired water level inside the boiler drum. Here are the key aspects of boiler drum level control in subcritical boilers: 1. Level Measurement: 2. Control Strategies:    a. Single Element Control:    b. Two Element Control:Read 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

Boiler Drum & Steam-Water Separation

The steam drum in a modern boiler serves multiple purposes and contains various components known as drum internals. Here’s a breakdown of the purposes and functions of the steam drum and its internals: SEPARATION OF STEAM AND WATER Certainly! Here’s an explanation of steam-water separation in a utility boiler drum.Read More

High pressure feed water heater

A high-pressure feedwater heater is a type of heat exchanger used in steam power plants to preheat the feedwater supplied to the boiler. The feedwater heater receives high-pressure water from the turbine condenser and transfers the heat to the feedwater coming from the pump before it enters the boiler. TheRead More
