Large industrial pumps may also serve as the feedwater pump for returning the condensate under pressure to a boiler. Condensate pumps usually run intermittently and have a tank in which condensate can accumulate. Eventually, the accumulating liquid raises a float switch energizing the pump. The pump then runs until the level of liquid in the ...
The steam heats the water in the tank; The water in the tank serves as a surge volume within the steam plant. The deaerating feed tank's surge volume allows the ship to change "bells" (steam turbine power output) and change the ship's speed without running the feed pump dry or flooding the turbines with liquid water.
Feedwater pumps range in size up to many kilowatts and the electric motor is usually separated from the pump body by some form of mechanical coupling. Large industrial condensate pumps may also serve as the feedwater pump. In either case, to force the water into the boiler, the pump must generate sufficient pressure to overcome the steam ...
The feed water is put into the steam drum from a feed pump. In the steam drum the feed water is then turned into steam from the heat. After the steam is used, it is then dumped to the main condenser. From the condenser, it is then pumped to the deaerated feed tank. From this tank it then goes back to the steam drum to complete its cycle.
Macy's is accelerating its plan to close underperforming stores by the end of the year. The company plans to shutter 65 stores after the holidays.
Go to any sports game—whether it’s a high school game or a pro one—and you’re bound to see athletes on the sidelines drinking Gatorade. It’s likely a staple at your local gym too. A ...
Mersey Railway locomotive Cecil Raikes, showing the prominent exhaust pipes leading back to the water tanks. A condensing steam locomotive is a type of locomotive designed to recover exhaust steam, either in order to improve range between taking on boiler water, or to reduce emission of steam inside enclosed spaces.
Luigi Mangione believed killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson to be a "symbolic takedown" and "a direct challenge" to the healthcare company’s corruption and “power games,” according ...
