Feedwater control valves play a critical role in boiler operation. One important parameter of their design is the pressure drop at the rated condition as well as off-design conditions. However, ...

In trade school, we were taught that the low-side pressure is consistent throughout the low side and that the high-side pressure is consistent throughout the high side. However, except for some small, ...

In a typical thermal power plant, the boiler feed water (BFW) pump takes suction from the deaerator and discharges to the boiler through the feedwater heaters. During normal operation, the deaerator ...

Anyone who has attempted to measure the pressure drop of a filter mounted in a filter grille will admit it’s a challenge. Some installations have a significant amount of return duct between the filter ...
