Typical Low and Intermediate Pressure Steam Turbine Issues By the time steam reaches intermediate pressure section (IP), the pressure is dropped but due to reheating of steam, the temperature can ...

Dairyland Power Cooperative (DPC) and Siemens Power Generation (Orlando, Fla.) recently completed a retrofit of the high-pressure (HP), intermediate-pressure (IP), and low-pressure (LP) steam ...

Low-load operation has recirculation of low-pressure (LP) steam flows at the exit of the LP section of the steam turbine. This can result in trailing edge blade erosion. Courtesy: Tetra Engineering ...

GE Steam Power announced today that it has designed and manufactured the largest-ever (75-inch) last-stage blade for its Arabelle low-pressure rotor. The blade will enable the Hinkley Point C nuclear ...

Hofer explained that in a low-pressure steam turbine, water vapor (steam) condenses to liquid water. For the new desalination process, GE ...

In a plant where low-pressure steam is currently being exhausted to the atmosphere, a mechanical chiller with a COP of 4.0 is used 4,000 hours per year (hr/yr) to produce an average of 300 tons of ...

Moisture Separator Reheaters (MSRs) are used in nuclear power generation facilities to separate moisture from steam and then reheat it before it is supplied to the low pressure turbines.

The engine achieves maximum efficiencies at 600 °F (316 °C) and steam pressure of 200 psi (1.4 MPa), at which point one Waste Heat Engine can generate 16 hp (12 kW), 30 lb-ft (41 Nm) of torque ...
