The first stage in the boiler feedwater heating is through the LP feedheating system. The condensate extraction pump(CEP) delivers the condensate from the condenser hotwell to the LP feedheaters.... The LP feedheaters use extraction steam from the LP turbines as their heating medium. 1, record 2, English, - low%2Dpressure%20feedheater

Le circuit de réchauffement de l'eau à basse pression constitue le premier étage de chauffage de l'eau d'alimentation du générateur. La pompe d'extraction du condensat achemine le condensat de la bâche du condenseur aux réchauffeurs à basse pression. [...] Les réchauffeurs à basse pression utilisent comme source de chaleur la vapeur soutirée des turbines à basse pression. 1, record 2, French, - r%C3%A9chauffeur%20%C3%A0%20basse%20pression

The boiler feed pumps(BFP) take suction from the deaerator storage tank and raise the feedwater pressure to between 4 and 7 MPa. The pump discharges the high-pressure feedwater to the high-pressure(HP) feedheaters. The HP feedheaters heat the feedwater to about 170°C. HP feedheater operation and construction are similar to that of the LP feedheaters. Extraction steam from the HP turbine normally supplies the heating medium. 1, record 3, English, - high%2Dpressure%20feedheater

Cette pompe décharge l'eau d'alimentation sous pression dans les réchauffeurs à haute pression. Ces réchauffeurs poussent la température de l'eau d'alimentation jusqu'à environ 170 °C. Le fonctionnement et la construction du réchauffeur à haute pression sont analogues à ceux du réchauffeur à basse pression. La source normale de chaleur est la vapeur soutirée de la turbine haute-pression. 1, record 3, French, - r%C3%A9chauffeur%20%C3%A0%20haute%20pression
