Boiler feedpump

Boiler Feedpump Drives. Second-Law techniques are applied to a practical problem determing when to drive feedpumps with electric motors and when to use steam turbines. This analysis was performed by Fehring and Gaggioli (40) for the Wisconsin Electric Power company. The Second-Law costing procedures are straightforward, avoiding the extremely laborious calculations associated with traditional methods, and/or avoiding the erroneous conclusions often drawn when those methods are simplified. 

SoteS The concentration should be such as not to require blowdown of boiler water in quantities exceeding either the design value or feedpump capacity.
