Boiler steam pressure?

What you meant by this question is uncertain. If you are asking about the definition then Boiler steam pressure is the pressure developed by a water steam boiler, else if you are asking about the Rated boiler steam pressure then it is the safe operating pressure a boiler can operate, else if you are asking about Maximum boiler steam pressure then it is the maximum pressure that a boiler can produce with out failure.


What is the feed check valve of boiler?

The feed check valve of a boiler is on the line coming out of the boiler it is usually to prevent the water from going back in to the boiler its coming out of so it would build up excessive amounts of pressure which will cause the t&p valve to blow temperature and pressure

What is economizer in boiler?

Economizer is an accessory of boiler that recovers the waste heat from the flue gas blown out of the boiler. Thus it actually "economizes" the operational cost or in other words, improves the efficiency of fuel utilisation in the boiler. The temperature of the flue gases ( the mixture of burnt fuel & air ) depends up on the steam pressure ( temperature more precisely ). Higher the steam pressure generated, the higher is the flue gas temperature. Economizer is a heat exchanger which exchanges heat between water ( which is fed in to the boiler ) & the flue gas. It means it increases the temperature of the feed water using the otherwise wasted heat of the flue gas. So the water entering the boiler has higher temperature compared to the one without this economizer. This higher temperature of water requires less amount of heat to generate steam so the operation becomes "economical". Similarly the economizer can also work to heat up the air entering the boiler through the flue gas heat, instead of heating the water.

What is difference between 500MW boiler 660MW boiler?

500 MW Boiler is sub-critical Boiler which generates steam at pressure lower than the critical pressure ie below 221.2 kg/sqcm. where as the 660 MW boiler is super critical boiler which operates steam pressure above critical pressure.
