Auxiliary Feed System

19
Q

A separate feed system for a steam to-steam generator can be used when feedwater contamination is a concern. Low-pressure steam from the generator is used for various services, and the drains return to the hot well. Feed pumps supply the feed to a heater, which also cools the drains for the heating steam. From the heater, the feedwater goes into the steam-to-steam generator.

20
Q
