Economical research on optimizing heating parameters of steam heating condensate recovery in thermal power plants

The paper starts with calculating the share of heat of condensate in thermal power plants in the total heat of steam, expounds the purpose, significance, and principle requirements of condensate recovery. Introduces the composition and classification of condensate recovery system, proposes technical and economic indicators for condensate recovery, and derives them a simple algorithm for the benefit of condensate recovery is presented. Finally, two calculation examples are used to illustrate the considerable benefits of condensate recovery.
