Steam Distribution (Thanks, Chris)
U.S. Department of Energy

<<The primary purpose of an effective steam distribution system is
to link the output of the steam generation system to the steam end use equipment. The distribution system should supply high-quality steam to the end use equipment at the required rate and pressure, and with the minimum heat loss. Key components include steam distribution piping, valves, and flanges, distribution system insulation, steam traps, air vents, drip legs, and strainers.>>

Power Plant Design and Simulation
EDA, Incorporated

<<A plant design modification can mean any change to a current
design to fix a problem, improve the function, or create a new product design. Plant design occurs in three phases; 1) the conceptual phase is the "system analysis" phase where the theoretical designs and/or changes are created and the pros and cons of the design are established. Feasibility studies and cost evaluations are also performed in this phase. The final products of the system analysis are the proposed new design(s) and/or design change(s), which have the best cost and benefit to the customer. In some cases, a conceptual design has already been developed and the first phase is not required. If the conceptual design is already developed, it is always wise to review the design for possible flaws and correct them before you proceed.; 2), the "detailed design" phase produces the final design product. The conceptual design is developed into a final detailed design package. All facets of engineering are involved in the detailed design development. The detailed design package includes design specifications, design drawings, design procedures, design requirements, quality assurance requirements, start-up specification and requirements, and, if required, regulatory requirements; and 3), the "design implementation" phase takes detailed design package and provides an implementation plan which includes purchase of materials and/or equipment, start-up and/or retest requirements and procedures, and an implementation schedule which includes estimated construction costs and schedules.>> Received on Fri Mar 02 21:11:00 2001
