Condensate and Feedwater System Control
Learning objectives
- Explain how single element control responds to changes in drum level
- Explain how three element control responds to changes in feedwater flow, steam flow, and drum level
- Describe three types of level indication used in the condensate and feedwater systems
- Explain the basic procedure used in the event of a tube rupture in a high pressure feedwater heater
Course overview
Modern power plants use sophisticated automatic control systems to track and control process flows through plant systems. Operators must understand the components and flow paths within the condensate and feedwater systems to ensure they respond correctly when abnormal conditions develop.
The Condensate and Feedwater System Control training course explains steam drum level control methods. It discusses their overall relationship to condensate and feedwater systems. This online training course also describes:
- Single-and three-element control
- Level indication types
- Abnormal operating conditions
This course is part of the Condensate and Feedwater System training series.
- Training Type: Online Interactive
