  2. Feedwater heater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feedwater_heater

    A Rankine cycle with two steam turbines and a single open feedwater heater. A feedwater heater is a power plant component used to pre-heat water delivered to a steam generating boiler. [1] [2] [3] Preheating the feedwater reduces the irreversibilities involved in steam generation and therefore improves the thermodynamic efficiency of the system ...

  3. Boiler feedwater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_feedwater

    Boiler water is treated to prevent scaling, corrosion, foaming, and priming. Chemicals are put into boiler water through the chemical feed tank to keep the water within chemical range. These chemicals are mostly oxygen scavengers and phosphates. The boiler water also has frequent blowdowns in order to keep the chloride content down.

  4. Boiler feedwater pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_feedwater_pump

    A means had to be provided, of course, to put the initial charge of water into the boiler (before steam power was available to operate the steam-powered feedwater pump). The pump was often a positive displacement pump that had steam valves and cylinders at one end and feedwater cylinders at the other end; no crankshaft was required.

  5. Boiler design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_design

    Sections of a steam locomotive showing the many fire-tubes which carry the hot gases of the fire through the boiler to heat the water and so create steam. Boiler design is the process of designing boilers used for various purposes. The main function of a boiler is to heat water to generate steam. Steam produced in a boiler can be used for a ...

  6. Glossary of boiler terms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_boiler_terms

    A generic term for water-tube boilers of the Yarrow pattern. In Royal Navy practice, a reference to the specific Admiralty example of this. [4] [5] Throatplate a plate forming the lower front of the outer firebox of a locomotive boiler, below the barrel. Top-feed in locomotive boilers, a feed water check valve placed on the top of the boiler ...

  7. Deaerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaerator

    Combined action of spray valves & trays guarantees very high performance because of longer contact time between steam and water. [21] [verification needed] Some designs use various types of packed beds, rather than perforated trays, to provide good contact and mixing between the steam and the boiler feed water. [citation needed]
