Development of measurement procedure for performance energy balance in a cogen plant

Consulta en la Biblioteca ETSI Industriales (8818)

[EN] During engine commissioning at power plant, frequent discussions/arguments may come up with customers regarding the energy balance, particularly related to cooling capacity and exhaust heat (gas and water temperatures and ows). Performance tests are at present not very formal and may lead to commercial liabilities. Evaluation of problems and possible root causes are sometimes di cult due to lack to accurate operating both during the guarantee period and service life of the engine. Also, adequate information about the actual performance of the engines at site and under di erent ambient conditions (altitude, load, temperature, ifetime...) is also not regularly available. Hence the development of a standardized measurement procedurerelated to the energy balance of the engine would be bene cial for all parties.
