When steam contains liquid droplets while doing work at high temperatures, the water droplets can etch metal. To combat this, steam can be superheated or the pressure of the system is reduced.

What the difference between extraction and bleeding in steam turbine?

bleed is amount of steam output from turbine through pipe and exit from final stage of turbine . this bleed enter to feed water heater (low and high) and deaereator to increase unit efficiency or rather bleed is the amount of steam drained out of the steam turbine during the expansion of steam and this rejected heat energy is used to heat the feed water supplied to the boiler...........


What is bleed steam?

Bleed steam refers to steam that is extracted from a steam system, typically from a turbine or boiler, for use in other applications, such as heating or process requirements. This practice is common in power plants and industrial facilities, where the steam's thermal energy can be utilized for district heating, preheating feedwater, or driving other processes. Utilizing bleed steam improves overall system efficiency by maximizing energy recovery and minimizing waste.


Why extraction taken from steam turbine?

Why extractions are taken out from steam turbine.


Why would you not heat the steam coming out of turbine and feedback to turbine?

Steam is redirected back into the boiler from the high-pressure turbine for reheating, but the steam from the low-pressure turbine enters into a condenser to become water again.
