1.

The boiler is a modern powerplant can be thought as a ladder of heat

exchangers.

2. To prevent from burning the tubes, all tubes in the boiler must be filled with water

during normal operations.

3. The reheater raises the temperature and pressure of the steam again after it

passed through part of the HP turbine.

4. Radiation, convection, and conduction heat transfer are present in order to

generate steam in the steam boiler.

5. Saturated steam enters the LTSH after leaving the boiler drum.

6. The steam that have been condensed to water is called boiler feedwater.

7. The radiant RH is located in the furnace walls (front and side walls)

8. After steam perform work in the turbine extractions are necessary in order to give

off heat of steam in exchange to feedwater heating.

9. The steam drum acts as a disturbing and collecting point of for water and steam.

10. Water wall tubes of the furnace are in the radiant zone of the boiler.

11. A boiler is designated to transfer maximum combustion heat energy into the

feedwater heaters.

12. The SH Division Panel is located in the hottest part of the boiler.

13. A pendant type SH or usually called SH Platen is a hanging type superheater.

14. Attemperators or Desuperheaters add heat to steam in order to meet HP or IP

Turbine temperature requirements.

15. The temperature of the steam entering the HP steam turbine is closely controlled

often by reducing the final steam temperature.

16. The heat transfer between the tube and the water is called conduction.

17. Pressure in the SH Desuperheater are lower than the SH pressure in order to

lower temperature of the superheated steam.

18. The flow of steam to the HP Turbine is from low to high pressure to match the HP

Turbine requirements.

19. Some boilers have both radiant and convection superheaters and reheaters.

20. The steam leaving the boiler must be superheated to match the HP

requirements.
