Boiler heat recovery and Steam turbines and thermal power plants

Energy flows from steam turbines and thermal power plants to boiler heat recovery; energy flows from boiler heat recovery to steam turbines and thermal power plants; their prices have moved together.

Boiler heat recovery (energy) and Steam turbines and thermal power plants (energy): 3 relationships.

How they are linked

1. Energy flow

Physical flow · 78% of flow · Steam turbines and thermal power plants → Boiler heat recovery

Economisers and air heaters reclaim flue heat in power plants.

• 78% of Steam turbines and thermal power plants's energy goes this way

2. Energy flow

Physical flow · Direct · Boiler heat recovery → Steam turbines and thermal power plants

Economisers raise efficiency in power-plant boilers.

3. Price link: steam system

Cost and price · Weak · Both ways

Boilers raise steam for turbines, so boiler and turbine orders rise together with thermal power building. Monthly moves correlate at 0.26, a modest link from shared projects and heavy fabrication.

• 0.26 monthly change correlation
• 0.17 12-month change correlation
• 1.70 fitted elasticity
