At large institutional facilities and educational campuses, particularly those located in colder climates, steam flow measurement is a critical challenge. Facility operators want to accurately track ...

The fundamental design principles and process for modern steam desuperheating, or the attemperation of superheated steam in the power generation industry, have been evolving since the early 1930s.

A supercritical plant uses a steam generator design that operates at full load above critical pressure 22.1 MPa (3,208 psia). The Benson boiler refers to a steam generator design that is capable of ...

As previously reported in Power Engineering and other sources (but where regular reminders are extremely important), the phenomenon of flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) has for years been a serious ...

Combined-cycle power plants operate by integrating a combustion turbine generator (CTG) and heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) with a steam turbine generator (STG). However, during some modes of ...
