How Hot Can You Go? Boiler Feedwater Supply Temperatures, Part 2. Cooling Elevated Feedwater Temperatures Entering the Steam Drum
March 25, 2025
In this post, we build on Part 1 of How Hot Can you Go?, a discussion on feedwater temperatures entering the steam drum. Although hotter feedwater temperatures result in increased steam generation for the same fuel heat input, feedwater temperatures that are too close to the drum saturation temperature can
