To be managed efficiently, production plants designed to generatethermal or electrical energy need reliablemeasuring instruments . These devices need to be adapted to their various installations and industrial processes: boilers, chimneys, turbines, cogeneration plants.
Instruments for pressure measurement, flow measurement, level measurement, temperature measurement andgas analysis help yousave energy and reduce emissions.
Fuji Electric measuring instruments accompany thermal energy professionals during each phase of their production process in order to :
Plant safety
Compliance with standards
Production optimization
Energy efficiency
The boiler is lined with tubes through which water circulates. Fossil fuel (gas, coal, oil) is heated to a high temperature via a burner to heat this water. The water is transformed into steam, which is sent under pressure to the turbines.
Two tanks are arranged one above the other, connected by tubes through which water circulates. The tubes are heated by combustion gas to produce steam.
Chimneys allow combustion gases to be emitted. Combustion gases are blown up the chimney by a draught fan. They are then discharged through the chimney into the atmosphere. The height of the chimney depends on meteorological and geographical conditions, neighbouring buildings and current regulations. It is therefore essential to haveair pollution monitoring equipment monitoring equipment.
Electricity is generated from fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) by transforming thethermal energy into electrical energy.
A steam turbine uses high-temperature, high-pressure steam to turn the shafts of an electrical generator.
Cogeneration is the simultaneous production of electricity and heat. It's a highly efficient energy production system that combines the production of thermal and mechanical energy in the same plant. It combines two types of turbine: a combustion turbine and a steam turbine connected to an alternator. Cogeneration plants can achieve efficiencies in excess of 50%. Environmental impact can be further reduced by using liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a fuel, as it emits neither SOx nor dust when burned.
A gas turbine, or combustion turbine, is an internal combustion engine fuelled by oil or gas. The combustion gas drives a turbine to produce electrical energy. Due to their high output capacity, gas turbines are used to supply energy during peak load periods.
