Utility Valves & Ejectors in Power Plants
Valves control the flow of fluid in cooling water systems, fuel supply systems, steam generation, and other processes at power plants. Ejectors pull fluid from turbine condensers to improve the power output and efficiency of turbines. Both are crucial components for optimizing performance and minimizing service interruptions in power production.
At Baelz, we take our commitment to supplying quality components seriously. Our valve and ejector products deliver reliable performance to keep power plant operations running around the clock. Our team of experts provides technical knowledge and value-added service options that help customers get more out of their solutions. Learn more about valves and ejectors from Baelz and their value in power plant applications below.
Valves Used in Power Plants
Control valves maintain the temperatures, flow rates, and pressure levels required to preserve the integrity of key systems. These follow strict safety standards or include certain safety features to protect the employees, end-users, and grid systems that rely on them.
Valve components from Baelz help regulate energy production systems while maintaining safe and efficient operations. Our control valves are designed and developed for a range of uses. These can include:
- Managing the flow of fuel to boilers in fuel supply systems
- Controlling the flow of steam in steam generation systems
- Releasing a controlled flow of cooling water to condensers in cooling water systems
Our valve products can handle different fluid media and fluid conditions, with options available for handling low-pressure or low-temperature steam at utility facilities or supplying water for steam generation.
Ejectors for Power Plants
Ejectors are key components in broader processing systems at power plants, moving and entraining liquids or vapors from areas of low pressure to higher-pressure areas to enhance turbine efficiency. They do this by pulling air or non-condensable gases from the plant’s main turbine condenser. This creates a vacuum, which forces turbine blades to spin much faster and generate high velocities, including sonic or supersonic velocities in some cases. A well-designed ejector system can use this process to regulate pressure in upstream vessels, resulting in enhanced energy production capabilities.
Steam ejectors from Baelz are designed with the needs of industrial, municipal, and commercial systems in mind. These utilize similar operating principles and components, using direct steam injection to create the desired vacuum level and facilitate efficient power generation.
Our ejectors play an important role in the ongoing performance of power plant systems. Key benefits of choosing these systems include the following:
- Precision Partial Load Control: This allows ejectors to respond better to primary pressure
- Low Maintenance Demands: These systems help prevent service interruptions and reduce operational costs
- A Lack of Moving Parts: Ejectors offer dependable performance and straightforward upkeep
- Cost Savings: Efficiency and compatibility with other equipment make our ejectors a cost-effective solution
