3. Background
▪ The project named as ‘ TO CARRY OUT MAINTENANCE AND FIND OUT
THE PERFORMANCE OF THE STEAM POWER PLANT’ a path is chosen to
implement our innovative ideas to form this project.
▪ The basic concept which is emerged out from the project is to handle the power
plant with safety.
▪ The another purpose behind the project is to understand the whole operating and
working operation of the power plant.

5. Introduction
▪ A steam power plant (2KW capacity) manufactured by ETERNAL ENGINEERING EQUIPMENT PVT. LTD.
MAHARASHTRA was installed in GOVERNMENT ENGINEERING COLLEGE BHUJ IN 2008.
▪ The operation of BOILER is fully automatic having BURNER ON – OFF modulation which keeps the FUEL
CONSUMPTION with the steam demand in the plant. The burner is centrally located at the top of the unit and
is pressure atomizing type. This burner is self igniting and maintains the CLEAN & SMOKELESS
COMBUTION all throughout the operation.
▪ Steam turbine is a single stage De Laval type turbine steam. From the boiler is expanded down to the existing
backpressure in a nozzle.
▪ The condenser is a shell and tube type heat exchanger. Cooling water is supplied to the condenser by a separate
pump.
▪ The steam turbine output shaft drives an eddy current dynamometer, of 0.77kgm and approximately 3000 rpm.
The eddy current brake dynamometer consists of two shafts.

7. Working
▪ Water coming from the inlet water tank is directly supplied to the boiler through
feed pump.
▪ Economizer is provided next to the boiler to increase the temperature of the inlet
water.
▪ Water is converted into the steam in the boiler then it is supplied to the turbine
through steam pipe.
▪ Nozzle is provided at inlet of the turbine to convert the pressure energy of the
steam into kinetic energy.

8. Working
▪ Turbine uses the kinetic energy and convert it into the mechanical energy and
further it is converted into the electrical energy as per the application.
▪ Steam from the turbine is supplied to the condenser to convert steam into the
liquid state by using cooling water coming from the condenser tank.
▪ A water softener is provided before the inlet water tank for the filtration
process.
