What is reheater protection?

Reheater protection refers to the safety measures and systems implemented in steam boilers to prevent damage to reheaters, which are components that reheat steam after it has passed through the high-pressure turbine. This protection typically involves monitoring temperature and pressure conditions, ensuring proper water flow, and employing safety valves to prevent overpressure situations. Effective reheater protection is crucial for maintaining operational efficiency and preventing catastrophic failures in power generation systems. Implementing advanced control systems and regular maintenance also plays a key role in ensuring reheater integrity.
