Due to the development of alternative propulsion systems, there is a need for LNG tanker turbine propulsion
plants to regain their competitiveness. Previous research revealed effective methods to increase the thermal
efficiency of the steam cycle based on quality assessment, and it was proposed that the latent heat of the main
turbine exhaust steam could be recovered. Research was carried out for the steam cycle using regenerative
heat exchangers fed by steam jet injectors. In this paper, an algorithm to determine the operating parameters of
steam jet injectors, and the calculation results for different drive steam parameters are presented. The obtained
results will be used as input parameters for further heat balance calculations of the proposed regenerative
steam cycles.
