    School of Maritime Studies Vels University Thalambur Feed Systems For Auxiliary Boilers and Steam Turbines - Operating Principle

    The document describes feed systems for auxiliary boilers and steam turbines. A feed system completes the cycle between a boiler and turbine by returning exhausted steam from the turbine back to the boiler as feedwater. A basic feed system includes a boiler, turbine, condenser, and feed pump. The condenser condenses the exhausted steam into condensate, which is then pumped back into the boiler by the feed pump. An open feed system associated with an auxiliary boiler is open to the atmosphere, while a closed feed system for high-pressure boilers is closed to the atmosphere. Diagrams show the energy conversion in an open and closed feed system.

    FEED SYSTEMS FOR AUXILIARY BOILERS AND STEAM TURBINES - OPERATING


    PRINCIPLE 

    WHAT IS A FEED SYSTEM ? 

    The feed system completes the cycle between boiler and turbine to enable the exhausted steam to return to the
    boiler as feedwater. The feed system is made up of four basic items: the boiler, the turbine, the condenser and
    the feed pump. The boiler produces steam which is supplied to the turbine and finally exhausted as low-energy
    steam to the condenser. The condenser condenses the steam to water (condensate) which is then pumped into
    the boiler by the feed pump.

    Other items are incorporated into all practical feed systems, such as a drain tank to collect the condensate from
    the condenser and provide a suction head for the feed pump. A make-up feed tank will provide additional
    feedwater to supplement losses or store surplus feed from the drain tank. 

    In a system associated with an auxiliary boiler, as on a motor ship, the drain tank or hotwell will be open to the
    atmosphere. Such a feed system is therefore referred to as 'open feed'. In high-pressure watertube boiler
    installations no part of the feed system is open to the atmosphere and it is known as 'closed feed'.
