Mar 17, 2015 · Steam, Boiler, and Blowdown Pressure are the same. Combustion Efficiency is the % of fuel energy that is directly added to the feedwater and not otherwise lost or used. Blowdown Rate is the % of incoming feedwater mass flow rate that leaves the boiler as a saturated liquid at boiler pressure.

Jan 14, 2012 · The results show that exergy loss mainly occurs in the boiler and the steam turbine. The major sources of irreversibility are combustion and the internal thermal energy exchange in the boiler. The high-pressure turbine has the lowest exergy efficiency in the steam turbine; however, it assumes the largest work output, accounting for 37.08%.

Recent examples: A chemical plant is saving $500,000 per year by checking for, and replacing, all leaking steam traps. A plywood plant reduced its steam load by 2700 kg/h (6000 lb./h) by upgrading its piping insulation. Lowering the systems steam pressure or water temperature to what the involved processes actually need can also reduce energy consumption.

to reduce the number of boilers needed to meet the steam load. These save the plant 52,000 MMBtu of natural gas and 526,000 kWh of electricity annually. In summer 2005, the plant's energy costs were lower by nearly $300,000 per year. Smaller plants can save, too. In 2001, six DOE Industrial Assessment Centers used

Steam pressure reduction is the lowering of the steam pressure at the boiler plant by means of the pressure setting on the boiler plant master control. Steam pressure reduction affects mainly the high pressure part of the steam system. Within practical limits, pressure-reducing valves (PRVs) will adjust the pressure at lower levels to the previous set points. This

Minimum pegging steam pressure is normally ∼ 1.5 bar. As the boiler load increases, it is desired to have higher temperature FW, so, with a change in system load (until extraction pressure is available), the pegging steam pressure (when CRH is established, i.e., CRH pressure is sufficient) is also varied for energy efficiency.

Nov 09, 2015 · A chemical plant derives its product from a reactor column that requires 7,000 kg/hr of steam at 4 bar (a). Steam is derived from a steam boiler and directly injected in the reactor column. During this process 300,000 kg/hr of condensate is generated. For this case energy prices are €25 per ton of steam and €0.06 per kWh for electricity.
