  • STEAM BYPASS CONDUIT
    Publication number: 20210231030
    Abstract: An arrangement for making a flow uniform, having a housing, which is designed to limit the flow, wherein the housing has holes through which the flow flows, as a jet, into a space outside the housing, wherein the holes are spaced apart in such a way that it is not possible for jets coming from two adjacent holes to merge.

  • Steam power plant for generating electrical energy
    Patent number: 8925321
    Abstract: A steam power plant is provided. The steam power plant includes a bypass pipeline which connects the fresh steam line flow to the exhaust steam line, wherein a bypass steam cooler is disposed in the bypass pipeline. In the event of an emergency stop, or a startup, or a shutdown, the bypass steam cooler cools the steam flowing into the bypass pipeline, whereby cheaper materials may be used for the bypass pipeline.

  • Method for regulating a valve
    Patent number: 8857455
    Abstract: A method for regulating a steam bypass valve is provided. The bypass valve is arranged in a steam line and the steam line includes a device for spraying water. The equation, t Rest , 0 = FB max m . W , SOLL - m . W , IST is used to determine when to close the steam bypass valve. The steam bypass value is closed when tRest,0 is smaller than a value ?t. An actual volume of water {dot over (m)}W,IST, a desired volume of water {dot over (m)}W,SOLL and a maximum water-volume deficiency FBmax are used in the equation.
