What is LDO in power plant?
LDO means light diesel oil which come in between the destination process of petrol and Diesel. This is only for industrial use only. As I know that in power plant this was used for Light up the Boiler upto reaching coal ignition temperature mean up to reaching boiler temperature 400 c to 500 c .
Which oil is used in thermal power plant?
・In order to satisfy environmental regulations applicable to power stations, KEPCO use mainly super-low-sulfur crude oil (with a sulfur content not exceeding 0.1\%) to ensure fewer sulfur oxide emissions. Heavy oil is also used as a combustion aid.
What is the first thermal power plant?
Detailed Solution. Hussain Sagar Thermal Power Station is the historic thermal power plant that was located in Hyderabad, Telangana on the banks of Hussain Sagar. It was India’s first thermal power station, opened in 1920 by the erstwhile seventh Nizam of Hyderabad.
What is LDO oil?
Light diesel oil, or LDO, is a blend of components from the distillation process of crude. It is used in engines with an rpm less than 750, such as boilers and furnaces. LDO is also referred to as distillate fuel or marked oil. Light diesel oil is used as fuels in many applications : Lower RPM engines.
What is difference between HSD and LDO?
HSD is normally used in the engine which runs above 750rpm such as in buses, locomotives, trucks etc. And LDO is used in below 750 rpm engines. Generally it is used in steady engines or to burn in furnace.
Which type of fuel is used in thermal plants?
Thermal power plants mainly uses solid fuel such as anthracite coal (Superior quality coal). In majority thermal power plants, bituminous coal also used. Selection of coal for thermal power plants mainly depends on percentage of carbon, moisture content and ash content in the coal.
Which fuel is used widely in thermal power plant?
Coal
Coal is the most abundant fossil fuel on the planet, and widely used as the source of energy in thermal power stations and is a relatively cheap fuel. Coal is an impure fuel and produces more greenhouse gas and pollution than an equivalent amount of petroleum or natural gas.
Why coal is used in thermal power plant?
Steam coal, also known as thermal coal, is used in power stations to generate electricity. First coal is milled to a fine powder, which increases the surface area and allows it to burn more quickly. The hot gases and heat energy produced converts water – in tubes lining the boiler – into steam.
What is the second largest thermal power plant in India?
Mundra Thermal Power Station
Mundra Thermal Power Station, Gujarat The 4,620MW Mundra Thermal Power Station located in the Kutch district of Gujarat is currently the second biggest operating thermal power plant in India. It is a coal-fired power plant owned and operated by Adani Power.
What is flash point of LDO?
Table 1 Requirements for LDO (Clause 4.2)
| HSD | ||
|---|---|---|
| vii) | Copper strip corrosion for 3 h at 100oC | Not worse than No. 1 |
| viii) | Distillation 90 percent volume recovery at oC, Max | 366 |
| ix) | Flash point5 | |
| Abel, o C, Min | 32 |
What is the difference between HSD and LDO?
What is the use of LDO oil in a power plant?
LDO is a light Diesel oil. It is used for the initial startup. After initial startup HFO heavy fuel oil is used and then coal firing is done. As LDO burns faster and easily even at low temperatures, it is very commonly used fuel for initial startup. At the initial light up of plant there is no available steam.
What is the difference between LDO and HFO in a boiler?
Due to this, LDO is used as the primary fuel which has ignition point in the range .~60¤C which is easily achievable and enough to initiate combustion in boiler. On the other hand most of the power plants also employ secondory fuels as HFO (Heavy furnace oil) which can be used in succession to LDO. As HFO is somewhat cost effective than LDO.
What is therthermal power plant?
Thermal Power Plants also called Thermal Power Generation Plant or Thermal Power Station. A thermal power Plant / Station is used to convert heat energy to electric power / Energy for household and commercial applications.
What is the working principle of a thermal power plant?
Thermal power station’s working principle is “Heat released by burning fuel which produces (working fluid) (steam) from water. Generated steam runs the turbine coupled to a generator which produces electrical energy in Thermal Power Plants.
