Glorious Past
Dynamic Present
Promising Future
Over 50 Years (1957 2007 ), Tamil Nadu Electricity
Board has powered the State of Tamil Nadu to become
one of the most progressive States in our country in socio
economical aspects as well as in all the fronts (viz.,)
Agriculture, Industrial Production and Service sectors.
On this occasion of its GOLDEN JUBLEE on 1st July
2007, it reaffirms its, commitment for the sustained and
fruitful services to the state of Tamil Nadu.

UTILITY BOILERS
Steam conditions used have been mainly sub-critical although
a significant number of plants were built during 1960s and
1970s with super-critical steam conditions.
From Non-RH Type, The Technology today has Advanced to
Double Reheat Type. However, the Preference has Come Down
Over The Years For Double Reheat.
Operating pressures have also increased to above 300
atmospheres. To achieve better efficiencies.
Boilers have been designed to take care of the deterioration in
coal quality over the years resulting in bigger furnaces, large
size pulverisers and large size auxiliaries.
INDUSTRIAL BOILERS
Unit sizes have grown in capacities from 10 t/h. to
300 t/h., pressure from 15 ata to 120 ata,
temperatures from 200oc to 530oc, burning various
types of fuels.
Industrial boilers are designed with bi-drums or
single drum depending on the pressure.
For paper plants, unit size of chemical recovery
boilers have increased to burn about 675 tons per
day of dry solids from 140 tons/day of dry solids.

SUPER HEATERS
Classified according to the position or heat received from flue
gas:
- Positioning of Super heater: Mainly depends on steam parameters and
the arrangements of evaporating tubes.
- SH coil ends are welded to round-section headers.
- SH tubes are bent into coils with a bending radius of not less than 1.9d.
- Multi-pass coils are employed in high-pressure boilers.
- With multi-pass coils, there may be not enough places on a header for
welding the tube ends. Furthermore the header wall may be weakened.
- Depending on the direction of flows of steam and gas SH may be parallel
flow, counter flow or mixed flow.
- A counter flow SH develops the highest temperature gradient between
steam and gas, which makes it possible to diminish the heating surface
area and metal used for fabrication.
RE-HEATER
Steam after expansion in HP turbine is heated to
the rated temp 540 C at constant pressure.
It consists of pendant assemblies and placed in
medium temperature region.
It consists of CRH, HRH lines, Desuperheating
and safety valves.

FANS
A fan continuously moves mass of air, gas or
vapour at the desired velocity by the action of its
rotor.
For achieving this objective there is a slight
increase in the gas pressure across the fan rotor.
However, the main aim of a fan is to move a gas
without an appreciable increase in pressure.

AIR POLLUTION
Life on earth, weather it is of human being, of
animal, or of vegetation, is affected by air pollution.
One of prime causes for the air pollution is
mushroom growth of industries the developing and
developed countries. Thermal power stations which
burn coal as fuel and handle huge quantum of ash,
may greatly pollute the environment, unless
otherwise the particulate matter content in the flue
gas is separated-out fully.
In order to restrict the emission within the limits,
thermal power stations are bound to upkeep there
ash precipitator in good condition .

FIELD CHARGING
While the electrons stream away from the
discharge electrodes, the encounter with flue gas
molecules and dust particles.When gas molecules
receives electrons they are ionised with negative
charge and migrate towards the positive electrode,
they get collected over dust particles which
obstruct their way. The dust particles go on
collecting the ionised gas molecule and once it has
accumulated sufficient negative charge, they are
attracted by the positively charged collecting
electrodes.

ASH DISPOSAL
A dyke has been constructed across the
Perumpallam valley over an area of 1268 acres.
The dyke consists of Upper Ash Dyke, Lower Ash
Dyke and Two settling ponds in series.
The ash slurry is pumped into the dyke.Ash settles
down and the water flows into the primary pond and
then to the secondary pond from where clear water
is let into the river Cauveri.
The effluent water is tested for very high degree of
purity in accordance with the standards fixed by
TNPCB.

CONDENSER DETAILS
Condenser is located beneath the LPT.
The used up steam from LPT is directly sent to condenser
for condensing the steam to water.
Cooling water received from CWPH is passed thro the
cooling tubes to condense the steam.
A Vacuum around 665 mmHg is maintained inside the
condenser.
The condensed water(condensate) is collected in the
hotwell
