power plant
3 in-depth engineering guides on power plant — specification, selection, testing and procurement.
Everything on power plant
Vajra's engineering team has published 3 technical guides covering power plant for industrial valve selection, specification, testing and procurement. Browse the full set below.
Parallel Slide Gate Valves: Design, Thermal Advantages and Steam Applications
Parallel slide gate valves solve a problem that defeats wedge gate valves in high-temperature steam service: thermal binding. This guide explains their spring-loaded disc design and where they outperform wedge gates.
Desuperheater and Spray Water Valves: Steam Temperature Control Design Guide
Desuperheater spray water valves control steam temperature in power plants and process steam systems. They face extreme rangeability, cavitation, and fast-response demands that ordinary control valves cannot meet.
Valve Selection for Power Plants: Steam, Feedwater & Turbine Service
Thermal power plants operate at steam temperatures up to 620°C and pressures exceeding 250 bar. Valve failures in steam service are catastrophic - this guide covers IBR compliance, high-temperature alloy steels, steam trap selection, and turbine bypass specifications for coal, gas, and combined-cycle power stations.
