Paper mill backpressure turbo alternator circuit

This steam circuit turbo alternator diagram shows a backpressure cogeneration set at a paper mill. Returned condensate is deaerated, pumped through an economizer, and converted to superheated steam in a package boiler. Steam at 40 bar and 400 C expands through the turbine, which drives an alternator connected through a generator breaker to the 11 kV plant bus.

La richiesta

“Create a steam circuit turbo alternator diagram for a paper mill: condensate return through a deaerator, boiler feed pump, economizer, package boiler, and 40 bar 400 C superheater to a backpressure steam turbine that drives an alternator to an 11 kV plant bus and supplies a 4 bar process steam header for paper dryer cylinders.”

Cosa contiene questo disegno

Leggi le decisioni che ne stanno alla base.

01Backpressure set

Turbine exhaust is delivered at 4 bar for useful process heat.

02Steam conditions

The boiler supplies superheated steam at 40 bar and 400 C.

03Electrical isolation

A generator breaker connects the alternator to the 11 kV plant bus.

04Condensate recovery

Dryer condensate returns to the feedwater preparation train.

Use this for industrial cogeneration sites with a continuous steam demand, such as paper, food, or chemical plants. It is not a condensing power-only turbine arrangement.

FAQ

Domande frequenti

Why use a backpressure turbine?

It produces power while delivering turbine exhaust at a pressure useful to the process.

What does the economizer do?

It recovers flue-gas heat to preheat feedwater before the boiler.

Why include a generator breaker?

It provides a controlled electrical connection and isolation point to the plant bus.
