Regenerative Feedwater Heaters in Steam Power Plants: Open vs Closed
Regenerative feedwater heater is basically a heat exchanger, which is the main element of a Regenerative Rankine cycle. It is used for preheating the feedwater entering the boiler drum by utilizing the heat of the extracted steam from the intermediate stages of turbine. The Regenerative feedwater heater regenerates …
Reheat Rankine cycle: why double reheat is used in large plants
Reheat Rankine Cycle is basically a modification of the simple Rankine Cycle, where the steam from the boiler is expanded in stages, reheated between the expansions in order to improve the performance of the power plant. In the Reheat Rankine Cycle, the high-pressure steam first expands in the …
