DESCRIPTION OF THE CYCLE

1. The energy used to heat the feed water is usually derived from steam extracted between the stages (distance of the one rotor blade and stationary blade is one stage) of the steam turbine. Therefore, the steam that is used to perform the expansion work in the turbine (and therefore generate power) is utilized for that purpose. The percentage of total cycle steam mass flow used for the feed water heater is termed as the Extraction Fraction. Increase in this cause a decrease in turbine power output.

2. Feed water heaters can also be open and close Heat Exchangers. An open feed water is merely a direct contact heat exchanger in which extracted steam is allow to mixed with the feed water. This kind of heater normally required a feed pump at both inlet and the outlet since the pressure in the heater is between the boiler pressure and the surface condenser pressure. A deaeartor is special case of the open feed water heater which is specifically designed to remove non-condensable gases from the feed water.

3. Closed feed water heater are typically shell and tube type heat exchanger where the feed water passes through the tubes and is heated by the turbine extraction steam. This do not require separate pumps before and after the heater to boost the feed water to the pressure of the extracted steam (which is almost fully condensed after heating the feed water) must be throttled to the condenser pressure, an isenthalpic process that results in the some entropy gain with a slight penalty on overall cycle efficiency.

4. Many power plants incorporate a number of feed water heaters and may use both open and closed components.

5. Feed water is also used in both fossil and nuclear fuelled power plant. An economizer serves a similar purpose to a feed water heater, but is technically different. Instead of using actual cycle steam for heating, it uses the lowest temperature Flue gas from the furnace to heat the water before it enters the boiler proper. This allows for the heat transfer between the furnace and feed water to occur across a smaller average temperature gradient (for the steam generator as a whole). System efficiency is therefore further increased when viewed with respect to the actual energy content of the fuel.

UNIT OVERVIEW

‘B’TPS is worked on the modified rankine cycle. In ‘B’TPS there are 2 units namely 4 & 5.The capacity of each unit is 500 MW

Here outlet steam of L.P.TBN goes condenser where this steam condense & becomes condensate. Also there is a provision of makeup DM water the level. Condensate is extract from the condenser by CEP. There are three CEP in which one is in reserve & other two are working in position. CEP force the condensate to CPP for improving the quality of the condensate. After that this condensate goes to the LP heaters for initially heat up. There are three LP heaters. The outlet of 3rd LP heater goes to boiler feed, initially to the M-BFP & in running to the T-BFP discharge of T-BFP goes to HP-HTRS. There are four HP heaters and discharge of HP HTR 6B & 5B goes to the economiser which is in the boiler furnace. After economiser, feed water goes to the boiler drum where steam is collect on the upper portion & water on the lower portion which is circulated by BCP (3:1 in reserve). From boiler drum, steam is goes to the super heater where steam becomes super heat & after that goes to the HP TBN which of 4 stages. After that goes it to the re-heater, where it reheat & goes to IP TBN which of 5 stage. From IP TBN, steam goes to the LP TBN inlet where it expands & TBN convert heat energy to mechanical energy which is further converted into electrical energy by generator.

HIGH PRESSURE HEATER These are placed between the boiler feed water pump and the boiler. The tube material varies depending on your nuclear power plant’s need, although the standard is seamless low alloy carbon steel.

This provides good thermal conductivity as well as good mechanical properties at high temperatures. Working of High Pressure Heater

There are two trenches of HP heater 5A & 6A are in one trench where HP heater 5B & 6B are in other trench. The feed water flows through the tubes of HP heaters. For changing HP heater from water side one no. filling valve is provided for each trench of heater. For changing of HPH-5 & 6 from steam side at load on machine approximately 20%, extraction steam valve shall be opened gradually and slowly to avoid the hammering.

LOW PRESSURE HEATER

These are placed between main condensate extraction pumps and the boiler feed water pumps and consist of a U-Tube bundle heat exchanger mounted in a tube sheet and surrounded by a steam shell. Stainless steel is often used to protect against corrosion

and erosion while longitudinal welding allows thin tube wall to produced. Low pressure heater is installed after condensate extraction pump and in the same way it heats the water but it takes the same extraction from the LP turbine.

Working of Low Pressure Heater

All the heaters are designed for horizontal mounting, surface type, having S.S.U-tube. Condensate water flow inside the tube and heating steam washes the tube system from outside in the shell of LP Heater. LPH-1 is located inside the condenser. LPHS should be charged from water inside by opening of their inlet and outlet valve. For charging of LPH-2 & 3 from steam side at load on machine approximately 20%, extraction steam valve shall be opened gradually and slowly to avoid the hammering

DEAERATOR

It is cylindrical, spray and tray type deaerator of adequate capacity for limiting non-condensed gases to 0.005 cc/lit (at storage

tank). It acts as a heater in regenerative system. It is in two parts i.e. deaeretion chamber and storage tank. The condensate water sprayed on trays of deaerator through nozzles. In the separate part of steam, so that the saturation temperature is virtually reached. The non-condensable gases accumulated the spray and escape via the discharge in the atmosphere. Initially deaerator is charged from auxiliary steam being kept on auto mode with a pressure of 0.3 kg/cm2 and after approximately 20% load on machine, is changed from turbine extraction.
