When we comes to the term of the amount of steam required to produce 1 MW of electricity, it needs to consider so many factors, the most important being, the steam temperature and pressure at the exit of boiler, the isentropic efficiency of turbine, the availability of reheat, the condenser pressure and whether or not any feed water heaters are employed.
Read MoreSR steam condensing heat exchanger has a small footprint, while being able to handle the flash steam generated by the condensate tank. SR recovers heat and eliminates steam clouds, while improving the work environment. Boiler blowdown is hot and contains significant amounts of energy, however conventional heat exchangers are difficult
Read MoreThe cost of steam is dependent on fuel type, unit fuel cost, boiler efficiency, feedwater temperature and steam pressure. This calculation provides a good first approximation for the cost of generating steam and serves as a tracking device to allow for boiler performance monitoring.
