Boiler feed water pump for thermal power plant
Ring section type
This is the pump for sending high pressure and high temperature fluid to the boiler. The types vary depending upon the pressure. The single casing type is used for the combined cycle, the subcritical steam power generation, etc. In the case of the pump of the ring section type, suction, intermediate and discharge casings are joined tightly with bolts and compose the pump casing.
Horizontal split type
The casing is split in the upper and lower parts and composes the pump casing. Fabrication and disassembly is easy but this type is inferior to other types with respect to the capacity of pressure resistance.
Double casing internal horizontal split type
This is the multi-stage pump having the double casing, the inner casing contained in the outer casing. Among various boiler feed water pumps, this pump is adopted for high pressure and high temperature application as in the subcritial steam power generation. The double casing is also called "barrel type". As in the case of the single casing, there are differences in the way of splitting the inner casing, and special features are the same.
