How Thermal Power Plants Work. The basic operation of a thermal power plant involves four main steps: heating, steam production, electricity generation, and cooling. Heating: The fuel (typically coal, oil, or natural gas) is burned in a large boiler to heat water. The combustion produces a large amount of heat, which turns water into steam.
2 · A steam turbine is a machine that extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam and uses it to do mechanical work on a rotating output shaft. Its modern manifestation was invented by Charles Parsons in 1884.
Function of economiser in thermal power plant 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. It is simply a heat ex-changer with hot flue gas on shell side and water on tube side with extended heating surface like Fins or Gills.
Economisers in thermal power plant must be sized for the volume and temperature of flue gases, the maximum pressure drop allowed, type of fuel and energy recovery targets. When the water is boiled in steam boiler, the steam is produced which is then super-heated after which it is passed to the turbines.
