    Chapter 14 Piping System

    Uploaded by

    Mary Ann Pacia
    A piping system is a network of pipes, fittings, and valves used to transfer fluids from one piece of equipment to another. The Romans were early pioneers of piping systems in England as far back as 43 AD, using aqueducts, canals, and lead pipes to supply water. The main components of modern piping systems are pipes to carry fluids, fittings to connect pipe sections, and valves to regulate fluid flow. Piping systems in power plants are particularly important as they act as the "blood vessels", using snake-like pipe patterns to prolong steam flow and increase temperature to maximize the output of prime movers like turbines.

    PIPING SYSTEM

    10/2/2019
    INTRODUCTION
    • Piping system?
    -A piping system is a network of pipes, fittings and valves
    intended to perform a specific job i.e. to carry or transfer fluids
    from one equipment to another. The plumbing network
    supplying water at your home is a common example of a piping
    system.

    Early History of Pipes

    The history of pipes in the United Kingdom stretches back to the


    Romans. Evidence of various degrees of engineering marvel, has
    been found from as far back as 43 AD when the Romans invaded
    England. The Romans were masters of engineering. Through a
    series of Aqueduct’s, canals and rolled lead piping. Water was fed
    from rivers, springs and lakes to the vast network of towns, cities
    and garrisons.

    Components of a Piping System
    The most common components of a piping system are.
    • Pipes
    • Fittings
    • Valves

    10/2/2019
    Pipes
    -Pipes are long cylinders used to carry or transfer fluids.The most
    common fluids are water, oil, steam, air, milk or finished products
    like paints, juices.

    Fittings/Pipe Fittings

    -is used in pipe systems to connect


    straight pipe or tubing sections, adapt to different sizes or
    shapes

    Valve
    A valve is a device that regulates, directs or controls the flow of a
    fluid (gases, liquids, fluidized solids, or slurries) by opening,
    closing, or partially obstructing various passageways. Valves are
    technically fittings, but are usually discussed as a separate
    category.

    Piping system in Power Plants
    Piping system in Power Plants are important they are
    considered as the “Blood Vessels” of the plant .They can be
    used as path ways for the steam to reach the prime movers, can
    be used as temperature and pressure control system

    10/2/2019
    The design of the piping system directly affects the following
    parameters:
    • Temperature
    • Pressure
    • Output of the Prime movers

    10/2/2019
    • Pipes in the burners are designed in a snake like pattern this is
    to prolong the steam to reach the prime movers and to
    increase its temperature to make the steam to a super heated
    steam
    • Why Increase the temperature? With the increase in
    temperature there will also be an increase in pressure
    according to Gay-Lussac's Law

    10/2/2019
    • And an increase of pressure also means an increase of Force
    the resulting force will be used to move the prime mover the
    stronger the force the higher the output power will be.
    • In conclusion the hotter the steam gets the more power will be
    generated

    10/2/2019
    Factors that affects Piping system
    • Maximum and working pressures of pipes
    • Maximum and working temperatures pipes
    • Chemical properties of the fluid(Steam)
    • The fluid velocity
    • The pipe material and grade
    • The safety factor or design application
