🔍 Key Concepts

• How a constant pressure governor works on a steam turbine driving a pump • Relationship between turbine steam conditions and pump flow (capacity) • Which side (steam or water) the governor actually senses and controls

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Does the governor directly control water pressure in the pump, or steam pressure supplied to the turbine? • When pump capacity changes, what does the governor need to keep steady so the turbine doesn’t overspeed or slow excessively? • Which pressure would most logically be used as the reference for the turbine control valve position?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify whether the governor is on the steam side or the water side of the system. • Decide if the governor’s job is to protect the turbine from load changes or to control the pump discharge pressure directly. • Confirm which of the listed pressures would be most practical and stable to sense and maintain at a constant value over varying pump capacities.
