Back pressure is the small amount of vacuum that is created when the used steam condenses from the turbine back into re-usable water.

What is the difference between 500MW and 600MW power station?

The ans is with respect to Thermal Power plants: the basic difference between a 500MW plant and 600MW palnt is in the turbine design. the 600MM turbine has 1 HPT, 1IPT and 2 LPTs, 2 Condensors and a generator. the 500MW turnbine has 1 HPT, 1IPT and 1 LPT, 1 condensor and a generator. HPT: high pressure turbine IPT: intermediate pressure turbine LPT: low pressure turbine

What is the difference between back pressure steam turbine and condensate steam turbine?

In a back pressure turbine all available energy from the inlet steam is NOT used to generate power; steam exhausts at a tangible pressure and is then used for, usually, heating or chemical processing. In a condensing turbine, all the inlet steam does mechanical work right down to the lowest pressureafter which it is condensed in a heat exchanger


What is intermediate pressure turbine?

Some varieties of gas turbine engines (e.g. RR Trent and RB211) have 3 concentric rotating shafts. Each shaft connects a compressor with a turbine. The low pressure compressor, or fan, is driven by the low pressure turbine. The high pressure compressor is driven by the high pressure turbine. Between the low and high pressure compressors there is an intermediate pressure compressor and, guess what... it's driven by the intermediate pressure turbine.

Difference between hogger and ejector of condensing turbine?

A Hogger is a device to remove the Air from Turbine inside for creating initial vaccume for start up the turbine means create negative pressure inside Turbine or say creates less pressure than atmospheric pressure in Turbine.An Ejector is a device used in Power plant to remove Undissolved gases from Condenser to avoid any harm to system from these gases.If any correction is required pl. correct it.


What is difference bw condensing and non condensing steam turbines?

A condensing turbine uses all the energy from the steam going from high pressure turbine to secondary turbine to condensing turbine then sends the condensate back for reheating. where a non condensing turbine just uses the high pressure aspect of the steam then returns the low pressure stream back to be reheated. Condensng turbines utilises the entire available drop from high pressure to the vacuum in the condenser; a back pressure turbine only utilises only the top part, whereas an exhaust steam turbine utilises only th bottom part of the pressure drop. Hope that helps.
