What is sliding parameter startup?
Thread Content
What is cold-starting with sliding parameters? I have only heard of cold-starting and hot-starting.
Sliding-parameter startup refers to the simultaneous start-up of the turbine and the boiler, thereby **reducing the startup time**； All valves on the new steam pipeline that connects the turbine to the boiler are fully open, while the associated condensate and drain valves should be opened only to an appropriate degree, with adjustments made according to changes in steam parameters. In slip parameter starting, the metal heating process takes place under low parameters, and the rapid acceleration is achieved through steam supply throughout the entire circumference; as a result, the heating is more uniform, and it is also easier to control the rate of increase in metal temperature ； Furthermore, slip parameter starting can also reduce the loss of steam and heat energy.
