Boiler pressure Why steam bipass lp turbine

Question

Accepted Answer

Steam is bypassed from the LP turbine to control boiler pressure and prevent damage to the turbine.

Bypassing steam from the LP turbine helps control boiler pressure by diverting excess steam away from the turbine.
This is done to prevent overloading the turbine and causing damage to its components.
It also allows for better control of the overall system and ensures efficient operation of the boiler.
Examples: During periods of low demand, steam may be bypassed to prevent pressure buildup in the boiler.
Examples: In case of a sudden increase in steam production, bypassing can prevent overloading the turbine.
