English term or phrase: Thermal Control Room
What is Thermal Control Room in a power plant? How would you compare it to an ordinary control room, technical control room, or any other control room in a power plant?

Selected answer:Specified for monitoring temperature
Explanation:
Ordinary control rooms are general, technical ones are related to monitoring the technical services where equipment groups are scheduled to define the technical problems or monitor the technical processes.

Some power plants need an around-the-clock monitoring for temperature due to the system used in the plant.

special room for controlling steam temperature


Explanation:
The power plant uses steam to generate electrical power. This is based on this ref:

http://www.hse.gov.uk/comah/bpgrange/images/bprgrangemouth.p...
...the proposed new Combined Heat and Power plant ... to re-utilise an existing medium pressure steam line...

So, steam temperature needs to be controlled in order to be able to generate power of the right voltage.

My blind guess is that "controlling" here means more than monitoring, but also including upping steam pressure (by the formula PV = cT, p: pressure, v: volume, c: constant, t: temperature) to increase temperature.
