Abstract
A power plant forced-flow boiler operative with water letdown wherein the letdown water is arranged to deliver heat to partly expanded steam passing through a steam reheater connected between two stages of a prime mover. The heating of steam in the reheater by letdown water will partly or wholly replace the use of live steam for such purpose so that the live steam will be available for driving the prime mover.
