Almost all, small-scale flash-steam power-plants, feature such a short- return-path with the condencer-scheme employ'd, that most such systems, 'do-not' feature a blow-down circuit, within the boiler circuit/cycle.
In fact, most such small scale systems, are filled with purified-distilled water to begin with. So, there are no dissolved solids to 'blowdown' if you will.
In general, 'impinging' of the blading, is minimized thru working fluids that have no dissolved solids when condenced, or in the 'semi-state', between vapor and liquid.

10% is rather high for low pressure systems, when taken as heat input to shaft output. I'm also interested in the running conditions, ie. KPA, temp, condenser vacuum etc.
I've been trying for the past year to design solar steam..... but not to change the subject. if you can actually get 10% that's great.[ Parent ]
