Handbook of Steam Turbines
Ensuring a steady and secure supply of electricity requires great financial investments in power plants and maintaining a highly skilled staff. Handbook of Steam Turbines explores the various states of steam in the turbine process, the different parts of a turbine, water chemistry, automation as well as turbine maintenance and monitoring the operation and condition of a turbine. The information in this book is gathered from experienced experts in various fields that describe their own experiences in their specific fields and different fault situations. The first section discusses steam and how steam behaves in the different parts of a turbine. The function of the steam process in the different parts of the steam turbine forms the basis for understanding the operation of the turbine. We explore how these different parts function under different operating conditions, such as cold, warm and hot start-ups. In case there are impurities in the steam, it is important to determine the parts
