| dc.description.abstract | The basic Rankine Vapor Cycle has been repeatedly modified to improve efficiency. Always, the objective is to produce more power from constant fuel, or constant power from less fuel. Pressures and temperatures have been driven upward; vacuum has approached atmospheric limits. Multiple stages of regenerative feed preheat and steam reheat are normal in utility stations. With renewed emphasis on cogeneration, utility station concepts for heat power cycle efficiency improvement are becoming more applicable to industrial steam systems. Regenerative feedwater heating is one such opportunity. In these systems, the question often is: do we increase from one stage of heating (usually the deaerator) to two? Or more? The concepts are discussed in this paper, and the use of system computer modeling is demonstrated, to determine the technical and economic practicality of adding a heater stage. | en |
