Gland Sealing System

Turbine bypass valves play a very major role in Power Plant applications. Within a short period of twenty four hours, a power plant may be required to operate at minimum load, increase to maximum capacity for major part of the day, immediately lower back to minimum load and then back to maximum capacity. Bypass System permit unit start up and shutdown in a lifesaving manner for critical heavy components in boiler and turbines. Jet Flow Bypass valves are supplied with hydraulic, electric or pneumatic actuators as per the process requirements alongwith complete control systems as an option.

The efficiency of a Steam turbine is mainly determined by the pressure of the steam at its outlet. The Turbine Surface Condenser is therefore maintained under vacuum. To enable this, the Steam Jet Ejector Vacuum System must be capable of removing all non condensable and associated water vapour from the Surface Condenser to produce the minimum steam condensing pressure consistent with physical dimensions and heat transfer and to provide for deaeration of the condensate. The sources of non condensables include air leakage through all system components operating below atmospheric pressure, gases released from feedwater drains and vents admitted to the condenser, gases released for makeup admitted to the condenser, condensate surge tank when utilized in a closed cycle and disassociation of feedwater into oxygen, hydrogen and non condensables.

Jet Flow Steam Jet Ejector and Liquid Ring Pump Combination type Hybrid Ejectors Systems are getting popular in major Chemical, Soap, Food, Edible oil sectors. A typical combination of steam jet ejector system followed by inter-condenser and liquid ring vacuum pump. This type of combination system can achieve vacuum as high as 0.05 Torr. It can be configured as single or multistage ejectors, single or two stage liquid ring vacuum pumps and inter-condenser. It is designed to operate at the same capacities and suction pressures as conventional steam jet ejector systems. Jet Flow Hybrid Ejectors provide a solution for high vacuum operations. They are versatile in handling both wet and dry loads, can be supplied with low level skid mounted packages with instrumentation and with closed loop seal water recycle system for vacuum pumps for the total reduction of effluent. Jet Flow combination type vacuum systems major applications in distillation, evacuation, drying, evaporation, cooling etc.

Jet Flow venturi desuperheaters consist of a Laval nozzle which utilises a part of the incoming steam flow to create a reduced pressure zone into which spray water is drawn and atomised by steam energy, and then exits in a short expanding throat which allows pressure recovery. The desuperheating performance remains constant at all loads from 100% or less, because of the atomising steam effect of the steam jet. The design is unique such that the spray water can be supplied at the same pressure as that of the steam pressure. High turndowns are possible depending upon installations
