Power Plant Pumps: Guidelines for Application and …

The guideline is primarily focused on pumps involved in the power generation side of the plant, leaving future guidelines to address many of the auxiliary processes, such as water and wastewater treatment. NOTICE. This publication was prepared by the Pumps Application Guideline Committee.

Auxiliary Power Consumption

One of the major auxiliary power consumptions responsible for the efficiency penalty of IGCC-CCS power plants is the energy-intensive compression of CO2 for storage. Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) is working on an advanced novel CO 2 compression concept ( Moore 2011; NETL, 2013 ). Fig. 25.7 shows several options for CO 2 …

Marine Steam Turbine Power Plants | SpringerLink

Recovery boilers of diesel and gas turbine marine power plants can have natural or forced circulation; they are most often made in the water-tube form. An example of a water-tube recovery boiler with natural water circulation is the KUP-110/5.5 recovery boiler unit, which has only a steam-generating heating surface.

Circulating Water

Circulating water system continuously supplies cooling water to cool the turbine exhaust and drain that into the condenser. The circulating water system sends cooling water to …

Circulating and Cooling Water Pumps | GE Steam Power

GE Steam Power Systems' circulating and cooling pumps. Our circulating water pump offers high reliability, (averaging above 99.9%) along with a very high flow rate (up to 40 m3/s).The pumps consist of: Suction duct, with different shapes available. Mechanical parts are embedded in the concrete. Pull-out parts—including the centrifugal ...

Circulating Water Pumps. The circulating water pumps are motor-driven, vertical, one-stage, single-suction, open-impeller units. Each pump is designed to provide total head of 34.2 feet at 143,400 gpm. Each pump is driven by a vertical, squirrel cage, induction motor rated for 1,500 hp supplied by 4,160 volt ac power.

Auxiliary Power Systems of Advanced Thermal Power Plants

In thermal power plants, auxiliary power systems allow the steam cycle to circulate securely and return to its thermodynamic starting point. Without auxiliary power systems, the steam-water cycle would suffer direct collapse or dangerous and unsustainable expansion. ... Combustion in a circulating fluidized bed and air-cooled …

A) The temperature relief device is set at 99° C. B) A pressure relief device usually has it's pressure set at 175 kPa above normal line pressure. C) The drain or drip line from the pressure relief device is typically connected directly to a drain pipe. D) The material used for fusible plugs must melt at 99° C.

10.2 AUXILIARY FEEDWATER SYSTEM (AF)

The water supply source for the auxiliary feedwater system is redundant. The normal source is by gravity feed from two nominal capacity 45,000 gallon condensate storage tanks while the safety-related supply is taken from the plant service water system whose pumps are powered from the diesel generators if station power is lost.

VWHP

The circulating cooling water system (CCWS) is composed of three functional modules: a pump network, a heat exchanger network, and a cooling tower network. The water pump serves as a power source that delivers cooling water flow to the distributed heat exchangers, consuming a large amount of energy in the process.
