Abstract
Both steam and gas reheaters have been used for a number of years, and this paper is devoted to a discussion and evaluation of the gains in thermal efficiency as reflected in turbine heat rate realizable in modern steam turbines for central stations. The gains due to reheat are justified economically with present equipment and fuel costs. They represent an additional gain in fuel economy over and above the normal annual gain.
