Introduction
To improve flexible operation
Dumping of excess steam to

Bypass steam from boiler when turbine is

not in service.
To quickly match steam parameters with that
of turbine metal.
To protect reheat tubes
Minimize water loss(Sh vent to be open

H.P. BYPASS SYSTEM

H.P. Bypass system bypassed steam from MS line to CRH line

bypassing HPT.
Function of HP Bypass:1.
Raising boiler parameter during start up.
2.
To warm up steam pipe lines.
3.
To match live steam pressure & temp before entering into turbine.
4.
Quick
5.
start up of turbine.
6.
Bypasses the steam to HPT & during sudden unloading of
machine, tripping of machine.
7.
Avoid starvation of boiler.
8.
Reduce losses of steam to atmosphere.
