Best Answer

In a back pressure turbine all available energy from the inlet steam is NOT used to generate power; steam exhausts at a tangible pressure and is then used for, usually, heating or chemical processing. In a condensing turbine, all the inlet steam does mechanical work right down to the lowest pressureafter which it is condensed in a heat exchanger

What is the difference between back pressure and absolute pressure in steam turbine?

Back pressure is the small amount of vacuum that is created when the used steam condenses from the turbine back into re-usable water.


What is difference bw condensing and non condensing steam turbines?

A condensing turbine uses all the energy from the steam going from high pressure turbine to secondary turbine to condensing turbine then sends the condensate back for reheating. where a non condensing turbine just uses the high pressure aspect of the steam then returns the low pressure stream back to be reheated. Condensng turbines utilises the entire available drop from high pressure to the vacuum in the condenser; a back pressure turbine only utilises only the top part, whereas an exhaust steam turbine utilises only th bottom part of the pressure drop. Hope that helps.


What is the difference between 500MW and 600MW power station?

The ans is with respect to Thermal Power plants: the basic difference between a 500MW plant and 600MW palnt is in the turbine design. the 600MM turbine has 1 HPT, 1IPT and 2 LPTs, 2 Condensors and a generator. the 500MW turnbine has 1 HPT, 1IPT and 1 LPT, 1 condensor and a generator. HPT: high pressure turbine IPT: intermediate pressure turbine LPT: low pressure turbine


What is the difference between volute centrifugal pump and turbine centrifugal pump?

voloute convord the pressure into volicity and the mixtur of propallere and impeller is called turbine pump


What is intermediate pressure turbine?

Some varieties of gas turbine engines (e.g. RR Trent and RB211) have 3 concentric rotating shafts. Each shaft connects a compressor with a turbine. The low pressure compressor, or fan, is driven by the low pressure turbine. The high pressure compressor is driven by the high pressure turbine. Between the low and high pressure compressors there is an intermediate pressure compressor and, guess what... it's driven by the intermediate pressure turbine.

What is the difference between turbine and machine?

the machine is the one that operates or makes the turbine work. the machine is the one that operates or makes the turbine work.


Difference between hogger and ejector of condensing turbine?

A Hogger is a device to remove the Air from Turbine inside for creating initial vaccume for start up the turbine means create negative pressure inside Turbine or say creates less pressure than atmospheric pressure in Turbine.An Ejector is a device used in Power plant to remove Undissolved gases from Condenser to avoid any harm to system from these gases.If any correction is required pl. correct it.

What is the inlet pressure of a condensate tank?

It can be at any pressure less than the main steam pressure. I've operated steam systems with condensate tanks at widely varying pressures. The pressure a condensate tank, (which condenses some steam, but typically takes returns from steam traps) is wholly dependent on the system is installed in. Some heating system condensate tanks are designed to handle no more than 30 psig (minimum design requirement) yet take condensate at 1 or 2 psi from the steam traps. Other high pressure production lines operating at 50 - 100 psig could discharge to a tank at 50 - 100 psi, though the actual pressure would be reduced by the length of pipe transferring it to the tank. And the highest pressure I've operated a condensate system at was 600 psig, the steam system drew the steam for process from an extraction stage on the turbine at nominally 600 psi, though at low loads it was typically a much lower pressure.
