The temperature of the steam entering the turbine is lower than the required inlet temperature for the turbine
Thread Content
We have a project related to flue gas desulfurization in power plants; medium-pressure steam is used as the heat source. After desulfurization, the steam enters the turbine to generate electricity. We are currently collecting data on the operation of the desulfurization unit, and it has been found that the temperature of the steam coming out of this unit is lower than the temperature required for it to enter the turbine. The manufacturer states that steam with a temperature below the required level cannot be fed into the turbine. It’s also not possible to increase the temperature of the steam before it enters the desulfurization unit. So what can be done to raise the temperature of the steam intended for use in the turbine? Urgently need a solution
The steam enters the boiler for intermediate reheating; after its parameters are increased, it proceeds to the turbine to generate electricity.
Low temperatures can cause liquid to be carried along, and the flow rate is very high, resulting in large axial forces
