Dry-Steam Power Plant Design Insights

This document discusses dry-steam power plants and includes two figures showing aspects of these plants. Figure 7.7 shows a steam pipeline and steam trap with a condensate drain line. Figure 7.8 shows emergency steam relief valves. The document also notes that dry-steam power plants can have either direct-contact or surface-type condensers, and that for small units it is often preferable to arrange the turbine and condenser side-by-side rather than with the condenser below the turbine.

60 MW or greater). The condensers can be either direct-contact (barometric or


low-level) or surface-type (shell-and-tube). For small units, it is often advantageous
to arrange the turbine and condenser side-by-side, rather than the more usual condenser-
below-turbine arrangement seen in most power plants.
