Steam that was reduced in pressure from that at which it was generated in the boiler. Reducing the steam pressure can be accomplished by running it through a turbine or engine, a reducing valve or a regulator. Reduced pressure steam is often used for auxiliary equipment or heating systems after the primary process has been supplied steam at the generated pressure.

How does a impulse steam trap work?

It works on the principle that condensate at a given temperature will flash to steam after pressure has been significantly reduced.


Is the expansion of superheated steam isothermal?

Expansion of steam in either the saturated or superheated state is generally not isothermal. When steam expands from a high pressure to a lower pressure the temperature will be reduced, unless energy is added during the process. When steam expands in an engine such as a steam turbine, the temperature reduction is greater than during free expansion

Why is the steam pressure coming out of the boiler low?

Depends on the situation! It may be needed at only a low pressure. Otherwise it may be the result of reduced heat input or of the input of cold feed-water.

What energy does the steam engine use?

steam engine uses thermal energy to convert water into steam and then uses pressure of steam to move the engine .thus thermal energy into pressure and further pressure into mechanical energy.


Why is fruit cooked by high pressure steam?

Under increased pressure, the boiling point is proportionally higher, so the food can get hotter, so more germs are killed, and the cooking time is reduced. Vegetables may be even more in need of pressure-cooking.


What is bleeding of steam in thermal power plant?

Bleeding of steam means Extracting steam from Turbines for heating the feed-water. Normally, there are High Pressure Heaters & Low Pressure heaters in Condensate cycle. Steam bleed out from the turbine gets into these heaters and heats up the feed-water (generally termed as Sensible Heat Addition). The steam that was bled can be re-used as condensate in Deaerators. Steam Extractions although reduce net work output but helps in overall gain in efficiency in terms of Reduced Fuel Consumption.
