• Boiler & Steam Drum
Maintain precise drum level via differential pressure measurement, ensuring optimal steam-water separation and preventing carryover or dry firing.
• Feedwater System
Control pump discharge pressure and flow balance, enabling stable boiler supply under varying load conditions.
• Steam Lines & Turbine Inlet
Monitor main steam pressure to ensure turbines operate within design limits for maximum energy conversion efficiency.
• Condenser & Vacuum System
Measure low pressure (vacuum) to optimize condensation efficiency and improve turbine backpressure performance.
• Cooling Water System
Ensure adequate circulation and detect fouling or blockage through pressure drop monitoring.
• Fuel Gas / Oil Supply
Stabilize combustion by maintaining consistent fuel pressure to burners.
How do they improve efficiency?
✔ Tight Process Control
Accurate pressure feedback enables precise control loops, reducing energy losses and process fluctuations.
✔ Optimized Combustion
Stable fuel and air pressure ratios improve combustion efficiency and reduce emissions.
✔ Reduced Downtime
Early detection of anomalies (blockage, leakage, pump degradation) prevents unplanned shutdowns.
✔ Energy Savings
Maintaining optimal steam and vacuum conditions directly increases turbine efficiency and overall plant heat rate.
✔ Extended Equipment Life
Avoiding pressure excursions reduces mechanical stress on critical assets.
In modern power plants, efficiency is no longer just about large equipment —
it’s about measurement accuracy at every critical point.
A high-performance pressure transmitter is not just a sensor.
It is a control enabler.
