its latent heat & some sensible heat also to the feed water circuit
Highest theoretical temp rise to the feed water
is the saturation temp of bled steam Advt of Regeneration Fuel saving- Feed water temp is raised upto240oC on Turbine by steam heating Hence from 240oC to 540oC is to be raised on boiler by coal heating Heat loss in Circulating water system is reduced- Because of HP/LP heaters steam flow to condenser is reduced Latent heat carry away by Circulating water is reduced Condenser size is reduced LP Turbine size is reduced Boiler size is reduced ID fan size reduced FD fan is reduced Chimney height is reduced Pulverizing mills size reduced Quantity of fly ash produced is reduced Types of Regeneration Controlled Uncontrolled No of HP/LP heaters should not be less than 5, otherwise we loose efficiency raise due to Regeneration No of HP/LP heaters should not be greater than 9, if we compare cost of piping and other accessories Vs Heat gain due to Regeneration ,----Not Economic Heaters construction Shell Level column Level Transmitters signals are taken to control
function & indication .They generate Analog
signal Level switches signals are taken to certain
logic functions They generate Digital signal
Level gauge glass for local level indication Vent pipe for sending out locked up gases Drain pipe for draining the shell for the purpose of maintenance Safety valve to protect the shell from over pressuring Steam inlet pipe Drain outlet pipe Water Box Feed water inlet pipe Feed water outlet pipe Vent pipe Drain pipe Safety valve Tube bundle Inverted U tube-inside water flows-outside steam occupy-By conduction heat transfer take place
