Replace Pressure-Reducing Valves with Backpressure ...

Steam Motors Compressed Air Replace Pressure-Reducing Valves with Backpressure Turbogenerators Life and Cost of Many industrial facilities produce steam at a higher pressure than is demanded by process Backpressure requirements. Steam passes through Pressure-Reducing Valves (PRVs, also known as letdown Valves ) at various locations in the steam distribution system to let down or reduce its pressure. Turbogenerators A non-condensing or Backpressure steam turbine can perform the same Pressure-Reducing Turbogenerators with electrical function as a PRV, while converting steam energy into electrical energy. switchgear cost about $700/kW. for a 50 kW system to less than In a Backpressure steam turbogenerator, shaft power is produced when a nozzle directs jets of high-pressure steam against the blades of the turbine's rotor. The rotor is attached to a shaft $200/kW for a 2,000 kW system. that is coupled to an electrical generator. The steam turbine does not consume steam. It simply Installation cost varies, but reduces the pressure of the steam that is subsequently exhausted into the process header.
