    Component 66: Feed Water Preheater - outdated!


    General

    This component is available only for ensuring a backward compatibility with the earlier versions of Ebsilon and is not maintained any more. Instead of this component, component 10 should be used in new cycles.

    The required mass flow of heating steam 3 is calculated on the assumption, that the condensate 4 is saturated.

    The easiest method of deactivating a heat exchanger without removing it from the cycle is to set FFU = off. However, pressure losses continue to be considered.

    Relative radiation losses can be defined by a loss factor.
