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
