Thermal Power Plants

AYYILDIZ ÇELİK KONSTRÜKSİYON YAPILAR, is involved in plant installation, manufacturing and assembly services for thermal power plants as well as hydroelectric power plants. In thermal power plants, the heat energy obtained from the combustion of solid fuel (mostly coal) is used to convert water into steam, this steam at high pressure and temperature. This steam is used to rotate the turbine blade that the turbine shaft is connected to the generator. The generator converts the kinetic energy of the turbine wheel into electrical energy.

Engineering Systems has extensive experience in the manufacture of boilers that produce the high pressure and temperature steam required to turn the turbine and generate electricity. Besides the boiler, we also have experience in providing energy solutions to our customers, thus saving you a lot in operating cost.

Fuel is transported by trains from the mines to the fuel storage facility at a power plant. The fuel transported to the power plant is generally larger in particle size and is broken down into smaller pieces using crushers before being fed into the boiler furnace. The fuel is then fed to the boiler, which generates a large amount of combustion heat.

On the other hand, the purified water is fed by the boiler drum, which is free of impurities and the air from the boiler is transferred to the water to convert the combustion heat from the boiler into steam at high pressure and temperature.

In general, the flue gases from the boiler exhaust are at high temperature and if this heat is not used, it will lead to large losses resulting in reduced boiler efficiency. Therefore, this waste heat is usually recovered by heating the air required for combustion or preheating water before being sent into a boiler.

The flue gases are then allowed to pass through the dust particles or bag filters to trap the dust particles in a way that prevents air pollution before the air is sent to the atmosphere through the chimney.
