Sažetak
The paper presents exergy analysis of main propulsion steam turbine from LNG carrier steam propulsion plant. Measurement data required for turbine exergy analysis were obtained during the LNG carrier exploitation at three different turbine loads. Turbine cumulative exergy destruction and exergy efficiency are directly proportional - they increase during the increase in propulsion propeller speed (steam turbine load). Cumulative exergy destruction and exergy efficiency amounts 2041 kW and 66.01 % at the lowest (41.78 rpm), up to the 5923 kW and 80.72 % at the highest (83.00 rpm) propulsion propeller speed. Increase in propulsion propeller speed resulted with an increase in analyzed turbine developed power from 3964 kW at 41.78 rpm to 24805 kW at 83.00 rpm. Analyzed turbine lost power at the highest propulsion propeller speed is the highest and amounts 3339 kW. Steam content at the main propulsion turbine outlet decreases during the increase in propulsion propeller speed. Exergy flow streams can vary considerably, even for a small difference in propulsion propeller speed. Steam turbine in land-based power plant (high power steam turbine) or in marine steam plant (low power steam turbine) is not the component which exergy destruction or exergy efficiency is significantly influenced by the ambient temperature change.
