Water Solutions You Can Trust

To generate steam by applying heat energy to water.

Thermal energy of steam is converted into mechanical energy.

To condense exhaust steam back into water for reuse in the boiler.

30% to 45%.

To remove dissolved oxygen and gases from feedwater.

Preheats feedwater using flue gas heat to improve efficiency.

Steam that is heated above its saturation temperature at a given pressure.

To prevent condensation and improve turbine efficiency.

It separates steam from water and provides storage for steam generation.

Removes deposits from boiler tubes to improve heat transfer.

The formation and collapse of vapor bubbles causing damage and loss of efficiency.

To prevent steam leakage and air ingress at the turbine shaft.

The flow of air and flue gases through the boiler system.

Natural draft and mechanical draft.

Draws flue gases out of the boiler and maintains furnace pressure.

Supplies combustion air into the furnace.

Fire-tube: hot gases pass through tubes surrounded by water.
Water-tube: water passes through tubes heated by combustion gases.

Water-tube boiler.

Removes condensate from steam lines without losing steam.

Thermostatic, mechanical (float), and thermodynamic.

To prevent scale, corrosion, and carryover.

Deposition of dissolved minerals such as calcium and magnesium.

Water droplets carried with steam, reducing efficiency and causing damage.

By adding alkalinity agents such as sodium hydroxide or phosphate treatment.

The removal of concentrated boiler water to control dissolved solids.

Continuous blowdown and intermittent (bottom) blowdown.

To regulate turbine speed and load.

Total heat content (sensible + latent + superheat).

Transfers heat between two fluids without mixing them.

Shell-and-tube heat exchanger.

Lowers steam pressure to required levels for equipment use.

Heat-resistant material lining the furnace to protect metal and conserve heat.

Removes entrained water droplets from steam.

A protective device that shuts down the turbine if speed exceeds safe limits.

Saturated steam is at boiling point, while superheated steam is above saturation temperature.

A pressure vessel that stores steam for sudden load demands.

Regulates steam flow to control turbine speed and power output.

Condenses steam by passing it over tubes cooled by circulating water.

Condenses steam leaking past turbine shaft seals.

The ratio of heat energy absorbed by steam to the heat energy supplied by fuel.

Controls the flow of feedwater into a boiler to maintain water level.

Carryover of water droplets with steam due to high water level or impurities.

Formation of stable bubbles that cause water carryover with steam.

Reheats steam after partial expansion to improve efficiency.

Removes non-condensable gases to maintain condenser vacuum.

Operating a boiler without water, which can cause catastrophic damage.

Heats combustion air using flue gases to improve efficiency.

Releases steam automatically if pressure exceeds safe limits.

The ratio of maximum to minimum firing rate of the burner.

It improves efficiency by reducing thermal shock and increasing boiler temperature.
