thus providing a common inlet for feed-water and a common outlet for steam. Water is forced through the tubes by a boiler feed-water pump, entering the OTSG at the "cold" end. The water changes phase along the circuit and exits as superheated steam at the "hot" or bottom of the unit.Learn More
It is impractical to compress wet steam because the water content separates out and fills the compressor. It is impractical to control the condenser to produce wet steam of the correct dryness fraction. In order to get around these problems, the Rankine Cycle uses superheated steam from the boiler to the turbine.Learn More
Feb 01, 2013 · The use of extraction steam to preheat the feedwater to the boiler reduces the quantity of fuel required to boil the feedwater and generate high-temperature superheated steam, although at the Learn More
Superheated steam at 3 bar g with 10 °C of superheat (154 °C) is to be used as the primary heat source for a shell and tube process heat exchanger with a heating load of 250 kW, heating an oil based fluid from 80 °C to 120 °C (making the arithmetic mean secondary temperature (ΔT AM) 100 °C). Estimate the area of primary steam coil required.Learn More
This usually requires a pump of similar design to a boiler feedwater pump, as the water must be pumped against the vessel pressure. A good non-return valve is required in the superheated steam supply to avoid any water from the bath being drawn into the superheated steam system should the pressure in the superheated main drop. Advantages: SimpleLearn More
Boiler pressure starts rising when load drops; but then the safety valves are expected to relieve pressure by venting steam. Also, burners get turned down if situation persists. The certified rated pressure cannot be exceeded. Make necessary modifLearn More
Jul 29, 2021 · The water becomes qualified superheated steam in the boiler, and the delivery of the steam drum feed pump is required to go through the three processes of heating, vaporization and overheating. Heating from feed water to saturated water is a heating process; vaporizing saturated water to saturated steam is a vaporization process; heating Learn More

upon the ratio of boiler feedwater makeup to returned condensate and the operating pressure of the deaerator. Deaerators use steam to heat the water to the full saturation temperature corresponding to the steam pressure in the deaerator and to scrub out and carry away dissolved gases. Steam flow may be parallel, cross, or counter to the water flow.Learn More
Feb 12, 2020 · As the main turbine requires superheated steam, most auxiliary turbines require de-superheated steam e.g. main power generators, boiler feed pumps, and cargo pumps on oil tankers. Desuperheated steam is produced by spraying hot water through single or multiple sprays into the superheated steam, either in a pressure vessel or in a section of Learn More
Mar 01, 2021 · Mar 01, 2021 · The superheater tubes are hung at the hottest part of the boiler. The saturated steam produced in the boiler tubes is superheated to about 540 °C in the superheater. The superheated high-pressure steam is then fed to the steam turbine. Economizer. An economizer is essentially a feedwater heater that heats the water before supplying it to the Learn More
Feb 01, 2013 · The use of extraction steam to preheat the feedwater to the boiler reduces the quantity of fuel required to boil the feedwater and generate high-temperature superheated steam, although at the Learn More
In modulating steam generation systems, feedwater flow is controlled by varying the speed of the feedwater pump using a variable speed drive. Flow varies directly with speed because Clayton uses a positive displacement pump. For example, at 40% of boiler output, the pump …Learn More
This usually requires a pump of similar design to a boiler feedwater pump, as the water must be pumped against the vessel pressure. A good non-return valve is required in the superheated steam supply to avoid any water from the bath being drawn into the superheated steam system should the pressure in the superheated main drop.Learn More
the contents of which are heated by these gases. The tubes are is by controlling feedwater pump speed to save on pump power. connected to the steam drum, where the generated water vapor is drawn. In larger utility boilers, if superheated steam (low vapor Application saturation) is to be generated, the steam through the drum is passed Feedwater Learn More
The feedwater pump discharge pressures can vary between 875 and 1000 psi depending upon boiler demand. Differential pressure between the two points can be up to 200 psi, (or even higher in system upset conditions). This differential pressure must be accurately measured, without regard to the 800 psi and above changing boiler drum static pressure.Learn More
The steam drum maintains a constant level with makeup of Boiler Feedwater at 230 oF from the Boiler Feed water Pumps. Before entering the steam drum, the boiler feedwater is heated as it passes through the economizer to recover heat from the flue gas. The 1500 psig saturated steam at 600 oF exiting the steam drum is then "superheated" inLearn More
