Advantages and Disadvantages of REHEATING
Advantages of REHEATING:
- To increase the workdone of the turbine, a reheater is used between the HP and LP turbines.
- To increase the efficiency of the turbine,
- Erosion and corrosion of the steam turbine blades are reduced,
- Increased final dryness fraction of the steam.
Disadvantages of REHEATING:
- Reheating requires more maintenance,
- Increase in thermal efficiency is not appreciable in comparison to the expenditure increased in reheating.
