    Steam turbine performance witr reduction in inlet pressure

    russ_watters, The project got delayed due to some reason. The turbine is on site since last 2 years. All the engineering/procurement team is changed now..you are right its a real world problem. It is true that will find out its effect during the commissioning phase. But as an engineer I want to...

    Steam turbine performance witr reduction in inlet pressure

    OEM will not support you after they get the payment. Also, the problem is not in the turbine. It was designed correctly. The only thing changed is the inlet parameter due to Steam Generator limitation.

    Steam turbine performance witr reduction in inlet pressure

    Dear All, I am estimating a future problem while still in erection phase for 60 MW steam turbine. I may need your help to estimate a solution. Due to some reason my process heater is not able to generate steam at the desired pressure (other parameters including Temperature and Flow rate...

    Whether A Pump with Gear Box (to increase pump speed) is Feasible?

    Yes, increasing the TDH will increase the motor rating as well. Yes, pump will be available when I decrease the flow rate. But I am not agreed with your comment that parallel pump won't help me. The pump curve suggest that the pump can have better TDH at lower flow rates. Therefore, if I half...

    Whether A Pump with Gear Box (to increase pump speed) is Feasible?

    Dear All, Thanks for the knowledge sharing. Basically, This is the pump which will be installed in future project. The pump is Horizontal, Single stage and flow rate is not in Millions :P The pump motor is approximately 900 kW. one of the option suggested by you guys is "Hydraulic...

    Whether A Pump with Gear Box (to increase pump speed) is Feasible?

    Dear russ_watters 1. Installing a different motor is not an option as the frequency is 50 Hz and number of poles is 2. 2. Installing a VFD or any frequency convertor is an alternative but I concern about the O&M point of view. if VFD has a problem then pump is not workable. As per my...

    Whether A Pump with Gear Box (to increase pump speed) is Feasible?

    Dear Sir, I am trying to understand that whether a Pump who is flowing a High Temperature Fluid (Therminol) will be feasible with a Gear Box. The Gear Box will be used to increase the pump speed from 3000 rpm to 3600 rpm. The reason behind increasing the speed is high Pump TDH and as per...
