Sensor response time is an important factor in control loop performance. In general, faster-responding sensors lead to better control loop performance. For steam temperature control in a fossil-fired ...

Rates a number of factors, including how easy it was to set, fill, and empty the iron, and to see water levels and markings and indicator lights. Other factors include leaking and how well the iron ...

Steam turbine designers and researchers agree that for large units (about 300 MW and up) the ramp rates during start-up, large load changes, and other transients are mainly limited by unsteady thermal ...
