The change in energy flow streams for main marine propulsion steam turbine at different loads

  • 1 Faculty of Engineering, University of Rijeka, Croatia

Abstract

This paper present analysis of energy flow streams through the main steam turbine (the turbine is used for commercial LNG carrier propulsion) at three different loads. An increase in the propulsion plant (and proportionally increase in the main turbine) load resulted with an increase in energy flow streams and with an increase in the amount of water droplets inside steam at the main turbine outlet. Analyzed turbine has three steam extractions which opening as well as the amount of energy flow stream delivered through each extraction, significantly differs at various loads. The analysis shows that the highest energy flow stream consumers from the main turbine are deaerator and high pressure feed water heating system.
