Steam Tip 22: Consider Installing High-Pressure Boilers with Backpressure Turbine-Generator

When specifying a new boiler, consider a high-pressure boiler with a backpressure steam turbine-generator placed between the boiler and the steam distribution network. A turbine-generator can often produce enough electricity to justify the capital cost of purchasing the higher-pressure boiler and the turbine-generator. Since boiler fuel usage per unit of steam production increases with boiler […]

Installing a Coil in a Tight Space? Try Banking

So you’re trying to install a new water coil in an older building. The challenge is the space just wasn’t build for it. You could go to a smaller size coil, but that won’t give you the performance you need. The solution? Banking! When dealing with tight, confined areas installing a bank of coils instead […]

What Is Water Hammer?

Note: This article contains some background knowledge on the cause and effect of water hammer and was originally posted by DFT) Water hammer is a shockwave that moves through the fluid (liquid) contained in a piping system. This shockwave occurs when a fluid already in motion is suddenly stopped, ceasing to move through the pipe. […]

Steam Tip 21: Consider Steam Turbine Drives for Rotating Equipment

Steam turbines are well suited as prime movers for driving boiler feedwater pumps, forced or induced-draft fans, blowers, air compressors, and other rotating equipment. This service generally calls for a backpressure noncondensing steam turbine. The low-pressure steam turbine exhaust is available for feedwater heating, preheating of deaerator makeup water, and/or process requirements. Steam turbine drives […]
