HP Turbine Bypass Valve
SIRA BHsT
SIRA BHsT
A high pressure turbine bypass valve is used to divert some or all of
the steam flowing from the main boiler away from the turbine and
into the cold reheater line. The valve reduces both the pressure and Pinpoint positioning
temperature so the steam can be safely transferred between these accuracy
two systems.
