HP steam is exhausted at vacuum conditions and is condensed against a cooling utility. Steam turbines typically rotate at 3,000–15,000 rpm. At that speed, water droplets can form and unbalance the turbine blades, …
Generally three types of cooling system designs are used for this application: once-through, wet recirculating, and dry. Once-through systems draw cooling water from a lake, river, or ocean to condense …
The steam distribution system transports the steam to the consumers. The pressure in the steam distribution system is usually between 2 and 12 bar, where steam with a pressure of between 2 and 5 bar is called low-pressure steam, and medium-pressure steam has a pressure of between 9 and 12 bar ( SFI, 1990 ).
Figure 1. Influence of temperature and pH on iron dissolution from carbon steel. [2] For decades, a standard procedure has been feed of ammonia (NH 3) to condensate/feedwater to establish a mildly ...
A common limit for startup has been the familiar 0.2 µS/cm, but any CO 2 in the steam can bump that value higher. Degasified CACE mitigates that issue. Conclusion Modern technology allows for...
In power plants, water analysis is a crucial factor in keeping the water-steam cycle free of impurities. Boiler feedwater must be monitored to protect turbines, boilers and pipes from build-up and corrosion. Continuous monitoring of water quality is the only way to ensure that the water specification is met, to avoid costly repairs and loss of ...
Keeping key boiler water and steam contaminants in check can help to ensure a safe and efficient process. Power generation requires vast quantities of water to produce steam. Achieving well ...
Dry-cooling systems use air instead of water to cool the steam exiting a turbine. Dry-cooled systems use no water and can decrease total power plant water consumption by more than 90 …
A steam turbine is used to produce the maximum amount of mechanical power using the minimum amount of steam in a compact driver arrangement, usually in a direct-drive configuration. Speed variation or speed adjustment capabilities are also important for steam turbines. Currently, steam turbines are widely used in different …
Principally, dry steam power plant stations employ the steam flowing outside the geo-deposits that heats the secondary fluid to operate the turbines and produce power. The extracted steam appears at a temperature of approximately 150°C that is sufficient enough to operate the geothermal plant turbine. View chapter Purchase book
The easiest way to do this, in general, is to begin with the steam turbine OEM limits and work backwards through the cycle to calculate the chemistry required in the HRSG and condensate/feedwater...
