This document summarizes the main components of a thermal power plant, including the boiler, turbine, deaerator, heat exchangers, super heater, economizers, and condenser. It describes the purpose and function of each component. The boiler transfers energy to water by burning fuel and produces hot water or steam. A deaerator removes dissolved gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide from feed water before it enters the boiler. Heat exchangers and super heaters increase the efficiency of the steam generation process. Economizers use extraction steam to preheat feed water and reduce energy consumption.

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 outside the boiler room and plant processes.
A deaerator is a device that is widely used for the removal of air and other dissolved gases from the feed water to steam generating boilers In particular, dissolved oxygen in boiler feedwaters will cause serious It also combines with any dissolved carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid.
Most deaerators are designed to remove oxygen down to levels of 7 ppb by weight (0.0005 cm/L) or less.
Heat exchangers are equipment that transfers heat from one medium to another.
Heat exchanger performance can deteriorate with time, off design operations and other interferences such as fouling, scaling etc.
It is necessary to assess periodically the heat exchanger performance in order to maintain them at a high efficiency level.
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.
Economizers, or in British English economisers, are mechanical devices intended to reduce energy consumption, or to perform another useful function like preheating a fluid.
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 QUERIES ?
