Boiler control help to produce steam in regulated,
efficient and safe manner.
Combustion and operating control regulates the
rate of fuel use to meet the demand.
Main operating control:
i. Hot water temp.
ii. Steam pressure
iii. Firing rate
iv. Burner control
18. Turbine
A steam turbine is a device that extracts thermal
energy from pressurized steam and uses it to do
mechanical work on a rotating output shaft.
Types Of Turbine:
1. HP Turbine
2. IP Turbine
3. LP Turbine
19. Steam Turbine Governing:
Procedure to control flow rate of steam into the
turbine.
Objective to control speed of rotation constant.
Flow rate control by interposition Valve between
Boiler and Turbines.
Valve control device called Actuators.
They can be:
i. Pneumatic (controlled by Air pressure)
ii. Hydraulic (controlled by Liquid Pressure)
iii. Motorized ( by electric motor)
