    THERMAL POWER PLANT LAYOUT AND OPERATION

    PARTS OF A THERMAL POWER PLANT

    COAL CONVEYOR AND STOKER


    COAL CONVEYOR : This is a belt type of arrangement. With this coal is transported from coal storage place in power plant to the place near by boiler. STOKER: The coal which is brought near by boiler has to be put in boiler furnace for combustion. This stoker is a mechanical device for feeding coal to a furnace.

    COAL PULVERISER
    The coal is put in the boiler after pulverization. For this PULVERISER is used. A Pulveriser is a device for grinding coal for combustion in a furnace in a power plant. Types of Pulverisers: Ball and Tube Mill Ring and Ball

    BOILER
    Boiler is an enclosed vessel in which water is heated and circulated until the water is turned in to steam at the required pressure.

    FIRE TUBE BOILER


    In fire tube boilers hot gases are passed through the tubes and water surrounds these tubes. These are simple, compact and rugged in construction. Depending on whether the tubes are vertical or horizontal these are further classified as vertical and horizontal tube boilers.

    WATER TUBE BOILER


    In these boilers water is inside the tubes and hot gases are outside the tubes. They consists of drums and tubes. They may contain any number of drums

    SUPERHEATER AND REHEATER


    SUPERHEATER is a component of a steamgenerating unit in which steam, after it has left the boiler drum, is heated above its saturation temperature. REHEATER is also steam boiler component in which heat is added to this intermediate-pressure steam, which has given up some of its energy in expansion through the high-pressure turbine.

    ECONOMISERS AND AIR PREHEATER


    ECONOMISER: Flue gases coming out of the boiler carry lot of heat. Function of economizer is to recover some of the heat from the heat carried away in the flue gases up the chimney and utilize for heating the feed water to the boiler. AIR PREHEATER: It is a device used in steam boilers to transfer heat from the flue gases to the combustion air before the air enters the furnace. Also known as air heater; air-heating system.

    CONDENSER

    The purpose of condenser is to condense the outlet (or exhaust) steam from steam turbine to obtain maximum efficiency and also to get the condensed steam in the form of pure water, otherwise known as condensate, back to steam generator or (boiler) as boiler feed water. Types of condensers: * Jet Condensers * Surface Condensers

    COOLING TOWERS
    The condensate (water) formed in the condenser after condensation is initially at high temperature. This hot water is passed to cooling towers. It is a tower- or building like device in which atmospheric air (the heat receiver) circulates in direct or indirect contact with warmer water (the heat source) and the water is thereby cooled.

    ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOR
    It is a device which removes dust or other finely divided particles from flue gases by charging the particles inductively with an electric field, then attracting them to highly charged collector plates. Also known as precipitator.

    GENERATOR AND TRANSFORMER


    Generator : An alternator is an electromechanical device that converts mechanical energy to alternating current electrical energy. Transformers :It is a device that transfers electric energy from one alternating-current circuit to one or more other circuits, either increasing (stepping up) or reducing (stepping down) the voltage.

    BASIC OPERATION
    A thermal power plant basically works on Rankine cycle.
