Abstract
The article considers the steam supply system of a metallurgical plant using Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works as an example. Elements of this system were described and analyzed. The main task is to evaluate the possibility of increasing power output by raising the share of heat usage from converter gases. Operating characteristics of low-potential steam turbines were analyzed. The causes of the system inefficiency were identified. The suggested measures can be used to increase the proportion of low-potential steam usage, stabilize the operation and to increase power generation in the system of low-grade steam utilization.
Keywords
