The "TPTV/20kW/CTS" Computer Controlled and Touch Screen 20 kW Steam Power Plant by EDIBON is designed to provide an in-depth study of the power generation cycle using steam. This unit comes with essential supplementary units: the Water Softener (TPTV/20kW-WS), Cooling Tower (TPTV/20kW-CT), and a choice of Water-tube Steam Generator (TPTV/20kW-SGA) or Pirotubular Steam Generator (TPTV/20kW-SGP). Together, these units enhance the plant’s functionality, mirroring the conditions of a full-scale steam power plant.

The Water Softener removes water hardness by using a 40-liter ion exchange resin column that exchanges calcium ions for sodium ions. Decalcified water then flows into the Cooling Tower or the intake tank and, from there, to the Steam Generator. In the Cooling Tower, water is automatically regulated by level switches (AN-6 and AN-7) and valves (AVS-4), and, if necessary, manually emptied through valves V-3 and V-16.

At start-up, the intake tank can be filled with decalcified water or condensed return water. Purge valve V-13 remains open to release air from the tank for smooth filling. If water is absent, valve AVS-3 opens to refill the tank up to level switch AN-5, with manual emptying managed by valves V-9 and V-10.

When the water level is sufficient, it is pumped to the boiler, where it is heated and pressurized through diesel combustion to reach desired steam conditions. The steam then passes through a separator to eliminate suspended droplets and is reheated to become superheated steam. A proportional valve in the system regulates steam flow, allowing broad control over steam rate.

Two steam flow paths are available. One bypasses the turbine through valve AVS-2, leading the steam directly to the condenser to maintain turbine integrity. The other path directs steam through the turbine, where thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy, subsequently transformed into electrical energy by the generator. Sensors monitor the turbine’s rotational speed, torque, and generated power. A lubrication reservoir optimizes turbine rotation, and a drain valve removes condensation from the turbine blades.

This system is fully integrated with EDIBON's SCADA software, allowing comprehensive control over the steam power cycle, including data acquisition and management for a hands-on experience of real-world power plant operations.
