Abstract
A feed water heating system for heating a feed water for a power-generating plant having a steam turbine, a condenser and a steam generator, comprises: a steam injector unit for receiving a plurality of bled steams having different pressures extracted from the steam turbine and an effluent water discharged from the condenser to mix the effluent water with the plurality of bled steams to raise the temperature and pressure of a mixture of the effluent water with the plurality of bled steams to deaerate and discharge the temperature and pressure raised mixture. The steam injector unit comprises: a multistage steam injector having a plurality of steam injectors connected in series for receiving one of the plurality of bled steams and a feed water to mix the one of the plurality of bled steams with the feed water to raise the temperature and pressure of a mixture of the one of the plurality of bled steams and the feed water to discharge the temperature and pressure raised mixture; a cylindrical container for housing therein the multistage steam injector; and a jet centrifugal deaerator, provided downstream of the multistage steam injector, for receiving a feed water discharged from the …
