ST extraction system

ST extraction system

ST extraction system

(OP)
We have noticed that for some reason in order to achieve full power we need to close the 3rd extraction from the LP TV. How can this affect the TV?

RE: ST extraction system

Can you post a heat balance?  I don't understand the acronym "TV".  Since this is an international forum, acronums may not always mean the same thing to others.

If you are having to isolate a heater, it means that you are sending more steam down through the turbine which is helping you achieve full power.  It is however, most probably hurting your heat rate.
