This scientific paper gives the main research data obtained during the solution of the search problem to define optimal parameter values for the thermal circuit of the К-540-23.5 turbine unit that would provide the most efficient operation both for the optimal version of the high pressure cylinder (HPC) as part of the turbine unit and the turbine unit on the whole. The effect of the distribution of heat differences in the stages of the optimal flow part of the high pressure cylinder used by the К-540-23.5 turbine on the integral quality factors of the turbine unit has been assessed. The calculation studies of the thermal circuit of the turbine unit with the optimal flow section of the high-pressure cylinder showed that the temperature of the underheated feed water in the high pressure heater (HPH) arranged near the steam generator has the most critical effect on the power and economical efficiency of the high pressure cylinder and entire turbine unit. The two-criterion Pareto problem for the upgrading of the turbine unit was formulated and solved to define optimal underheating temperature values. Consideration was given to the two variants of the solution of the optimization problem for the feed water underheating temperature in the high pressure heater. Comparison and analysis of the two variants of solution for the two-criterion optimization problem showed the identity of the obtained data and it confirms the correctness of the problem formulation and the algorithms used for its solution.
