  • Air preheater [r]: A general term to describe any device designed to preheat the combustion air used in a fuel-burning furnace for the purpose of increasing the thermal efficiency of the furnace. [e]
  • Boiler [r]: Add brief definition or description
  • Coal [r]: a combustible, black rock formed after millions of years of heat and pressure were applied to the decayed remains of plants and organic matter in what were then swamps. [e]
  • Condensate polishing [r]: An ion exchange process used to purify the steam condensate produced in high-pressure steam generation facilities such as those in large thermal power plants. [e]
  • Deaerator [r]: A device used for the removal of air and other dissolved gases from the feedwater to steam generating boilers. [e]
  • Flue gas desulfurization [r]: The technology for removing sulfur dioxide from the flue gases resulting from the combustion of coal or fuel oil in power plant steam generators or other large combustion sources. [e]
  • Flue gas stack [r]: A vertical pipe, channel or chimney (also referred to as a smokestack) through which combustion product gases (flue gases) are exhausted to the atmosphere. Includes the draft (draught) effect of hot gases flowing through tall stacks (chimneys). [e]
  • Industrial cooling tower [r]: Heat rejection systems used primarily to provide circulating cooling water in large industrial facilities. [e]
  • Power (physics) [r]: Rate of producing or consuming energy; SI unit: watt = joule/second. [e]
  • Steam [r]: The vapor (or gaseous) phase of water (H2O). [e]
  • Steam turbine [r]: Add brief definition or description
  • Surface condenser [r]: A water-cooled shell and tube heat exchanger for condensing the exhaust steam from large steam turbines. [e]
  • Water [r]: A chemical compound with one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms (H20). It is often in a liquid form and makes up the bulk of the oceans, lakes, rivers and living organisms. [e]
