Heat exchangers are key to the efficiency of the steam and water cycle.
Each of our configurations provides a cost-effective balance between enhancing performance and maintaining reliability levels. We can addresses a wide range of plant requirements, operating objectives, and environmental constraints. Intermediate reheat conditions and the backpressure of low-pressure turbines can affect moisture separator reheaters (MSR) and condensers, which contribute to cycle efficiency.
Our designs of MSRs, surface condensers and feedwater heating equipment allows optimum integration with the steam turbine in the thermodynamic cycle.
Balance of plant services
Our balance of plant service is tailored to individual power plant's needs to ensure all components continue to run efficiently. The expertise includes:
-
Condenser, feedwater heaters, moisture separator reheaters
-
A wide range power plant pumping systems
-
Supporting and auxiliary equipment
