MAIN COMPONENTS OF THERMAL POWER PLANT

(1)BOILER/FURNACE: The boiler transfers energy to the water by burning some type of fuel. The hot water or steam transfers its heat to a process.

THE BOILER SYSTEM COMPRISES OF

Feed water system:-Feed water system provides water to the boiler Steam system:- steam system collects and controls the steam produced in the boiler Fuel system:- The fuel system includes all equipment used to provide fuel.

Two sources of feed water

Condensate or condensed steam returned from the processes.

Makeup water (treated raw water) which must come from outsid the boiler room and plant processes.

3. AIR PREHEATER
The remaining heat of flue gases is utilised by air preheater. It is a device used in steam boilers to transfer heat from the flue gases to the combustion air before the air enters the furnace

4. Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers are equipment that transfers heat from one medium to another. It is necessary to assess periodically the heat exchanger performance in order to maintain them at a high efficiency level.

5. Super Heater
A super heater is a device in a steam engine that heats the steam generated by the boiler again, increasing its thermal energy.

Super heaters increase the efficiency of the steam engine, and were widely adopted.
Super heaters were applied to steam locomotives to most steam vehicles, and to stationary steam engines including power stations.

7. Economizers
Economizers, or in British English economisers, are mechanical devices intended to reduce energy consumption, or to perform another useful function like preheating a fluid.

8. Feed water heater

The feed water heating equipment then raises the temperature of the water by utilizing extraction steam from various stages of the turbine.

Preheating the feed water reduces the irreversibility's involved in steam generation
