 generating station which converts heat energy of coal combustion
into electrical energy is known as a steam power station.

team is produced in the boiler by utilizing the heat of coal
combustion. The steam is then expanded in the steam turbine and is
condensed in a condenser to be fed into the boiler again. The steam
turbine drives the alternator which converts mechanical energy of the
turbine into electrical energy.

boiler is closed vessel in which water is converted into steam by utilising the
heat of coal combustion.

team boilers are broadly classified into following two types:
(a) Water tube boilers (b) Fire tube boilers

In a 2 !-!, water flows through the tubes and the hot gases of
combustion flow over these tubes. Water-tube boilers are used for high-pressure
boilers

m device which removes last traces of moisture.
m It helps in reduction in requirement of steam
quantity.
m steam being dry reduces the mechanical resistance
of turbine.
m No corrosion at the turbine blades=
m They are such devices which recover the heat from
the flue gases on their way to chimney and raise the
temperature of feed water.
m ir Pre-heaters recover the heat from the flue gases
leaving the economiser and heat the incoming air
required for combustion
m Which condenses the steam at the exhaust of
turbine.
m It creates a very low pressure at the exhaust of
turbine, this helps in converting heat energy of
steam into mechanical energy in the prime mover.
m The condensed steam can be used as feed water to
the boiler.
m steam turbine is a mechanical device that extracts thermal
energy from pressurized steam, and converts it into
mechanical energy.
m bout 86% of all electric generation in the world is by use
of steam turbines.
mIt has almost completely replaced the reciprocating piston
steam engine.

m ÷enerally thermal power stations use coal mills or
called coal firing system.
m Coal is reduced to fineness (-20mm).
m This fine powdered coal is called pulverized coal and is
carried forward to the burner by air through pipes.
m natural result from the burning of fossil fuels, particularly coal, is
the emission of flyash. sh is mineral matter present in the fuel. For a
pulverized coal unit, 60-80% of ash leaves with the flue gas.
