Applications:
• HP to cold reheat
• HRH (Hot Reheat) to condenser,
also known as:
- IP/ LP bypass to condenser
- LP bypass to condenser
• HP to condenser
Purpose: Turbine bypass systems
increase the flexibility in operation
of steam power plants. They assist
in faster start-ups and shutdowns
without incurring significant damage
to critical and expensive components
in the steam circuit due to thermal
transients. In some boiler designs,
turbine bypass systems are also used
for safety function
