Abstract
A mathematical model suitable for predicting the transient behaviour of deaerator plant is presented. The model is based on energy and mass balance equations applied to the deaerator, storage tank and feed pump suction pipe. The model parameters are based entirely on the physical characteristics of the plant, and hence the model can be easily adapted to plants of different size. A comparison with data collected from a deaerator plant operating on a 500 MW unit indicates that the model gives good transient responses and can be used to predict accurately the onset of cavitation in the feed pump.
