Feedwater heater for nuclear power plant
1 500 MW
Alstom Power Generation
Feedwater heaters are used in a regenerative water-steam cycle to improve the thermodynamic efficiency, resulting in a reduction of fuel consumption and thermal pollution. The boiler feedwater is heated up by steam extracted from suitable turbine stages.
Increasing power plant ratings have influenced the development and concept of feedwater heaters. Electrical outputs of exceeding 1'500 MW have been achieved.
