Topping Turbines: Adding New Life to Older Plants
No full textAn existing power plant can be repowered at a modest investment cost through a topping turbine installation. Essentially, this consists of replacing the existing old, low pressure boilers with new, high pressure boilers and adding a new, high pressure, non-condensing turbine (topping turbine) .
The high pressure steam generated in the new boilers is supplied to the throttle of the high pressure turbine and exhausted at the pressure required by the existing, old, low pressure, condensing turbines. The exhaust from the topping turbine is then supplied to the throttle of the existing turbines.
The additional capacity results from the kilowatts generated in the topping turbine while reducing the steam pressure from the throttle to the exhaust conditions. Also, because this steam is not condensed, there is no loss of the latent heat of condensation of the steam to the condenser circulating water. Consequently, the thermal efficiency of the cycle is considerably enhanced

Evaluation of Positive Action Training Scheme (e-PATS)
No full textSouth West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust serves a population of approximately 1 million people living across the large geographical area of Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield. Approximately 6.4% describe themselves as South Asian compared with 4.28% of the workforce of the Trust. There is evidence that diversity in the workforce benefits organisations, employees, service users and the wider community. Positive action is a process permitted by law to overcome longstanding disadvantages experienced by minorities because of earlier discrimination in education and other aspects of their life. Positive action is seen by many, including governments, as one strategy that can used to address discrimination in employment
