	Bench 'em until they learn how to play without fouling. Or, check water quality. Oh, never mind. That was a declaration not an interrogatory. If you're asking what the problem might be, see above. Or, check water quality.

	The issue has more to do with the management of feedwater quality and blowdown frequency than the voltage of the electricity that the turbine's attached generator is producing. If the turbine blades are fouling then be afraid of the boiler's internal condition as well. Actually, be very afraid. A poll vote among CR4 readers is unlikely to yield statistically significant information. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	voltage of the electricity that the turbine's attached generator is producing pressure of the steam that is being fed to the turbine That as well.

	Dear Friend, Tendency of fouling is high towards LP side, due to the reason, steam may be slightly wet/just saturated tending to be wet. DHAYANANDHAN.S
