Abstract:
The steam generator includes: a water supply channel for supplying a secondary coolant to a tube bundle outer casing with the secondary coolant being isolated from the recirculating secondary coolant; a recirculating secondary coolant injection section for injecting the recirculating secondary coolant toward a high temperature-side heat transfer tube bundle; and a supplied secondary coolant injection section for injecting the secondary coolant supplied from the water supply channel toward a low temperature-side heat transfer tube bundle. The recirculating secondary coolant injection section and the supplied secondary coolant injection section being disposed in the tube bundle outer casing on the side toward the tube plate. The recirculating secondary coolant injection section and the supplied secondary coolant injection section are defined such that, of the secondary coolant and the recirculating secondary coolant, the coolant having a higher relative flow rate than the other flows at a lower velocity.
Abstract:
Some embodiments of a generator system can be used with the working fluid in a Rankine cycle. For example, the generator system can be used in a Rankine cycle to recover heat from one of a number of commercial applications and to convert that heat energy into electrical energy. In particular embodiments, the generator system may include a turbine generator apparatus to generate electrical energy and a liquid separator arranged upstream of the turbine generator apparatus.
Abstract:
An integrated water coil air heater and economizer arrangement for a boiler has a feedwater inlet for supplying feedwater to the boiler, and conduits and a valve for splitting the feedwater from the inlet into a first partial lower temperature, lower mass flow stream, and a second partial higher temperature, higher flow stream. A water coil air heater for passage of air to be heated for the boiler contains at least one heat transfer loop in heat transfer relationship with the air, the heat transfer loop of the water coil air heater being connected to receive the first partial stream. An economizer for passage of flue gas to be cooled for the boiler contains at least one heat transfer loop in heat transfer relationship with the flue gas, the heat transfer loop of the economizer being connected to the heat transfer loop of the water coil air heater for receiving the first partial stream from the water coil air heater. A mixing location downstream of the economizer receives and reunites the first and second partial streams and a conduit carries the second partial stream from the feedwater inlet to the to the mixing location.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for operating a continuous steam generator. The aim of the invention is to provide, with little technical complexity and for any operating state, a synchronous variation of the feed-water mass flow passing through the evaporator heating surface and of the heat input into the evaporator heating surface. To this end, a regulating device for the discharge of feed-water is allocated to a device for adjusting the feed-water mass flow. The control variable of said regulating device is the feed-water mass flow, while its set-point value in relation to the feed-water mass flow depends on the set-point value associated to the power of the steam generator. The actual value of the feed-water density at the entry of the pre-heater is fed to the regulating device for the discharge of feed-water as one of the input values.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a boiler comprising at least a first heat exchanger (10) with its inlet connected to a water supplying duct (18) and its outlet connected, through a first regulating valve (30) to a steam turbine, either directly, or through a second heat exchanger (12). During the starting phase the regulating valve (30) is closed and as long as the fluid at the first heat exchanger (10) outlet is a mixture of water and steam, all the water is transformed into steam by condensation and the regulating valve (30) is opened only when the fluid at the first evaporator outlet is pure steam.
Abstract:
A hybrid steam generating system and method in which fluid is passed through the waterwall tubes of a furnace to transfer heat from the furnace to the fluid to convert at least a portion of the fluid to steam. Under certain operating conditions, the heated fluid is passed from the furnace to a separator for separating the steam from the heated fluid and the separated heated fluid is passed from the separator back to the furnace. The steam from the separator is passed to a steam utilization unit, and, under certain operating conditions, the heated fluid is passed from the furnace directly to the steam utilization unit.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a boiler (1) wherein at least one steam generating circuit comprises an ejector (25) capable of providing induced circulation of water in the boiler in normal operating conditions. The corresponding water/steam separation reservoir (17) is arranged at any height with respect to the outlet collector (manifold) (15) of the evaporator device (11) of said circuit.
Abstract:
A method and a device for temperature measurement of the fluid at the outlet from an evaporator in a boiler of benson type, wherein the evaporator includes one or more inlet headers which are supplied with water passed on to evaporator tubes which communicate with a heat-transferring medium and wherein the water is transformed into a fluid which is then via evaporator stubs passed to one or more outlet headers of the evaporator, the temperature of the fluid being measured with the aid of temperature sensors which are placed on adjacently located evaporator stubs for a number of important and critical parts of the boiler, the measured values for each part being supplied to median value selectors whereafter each median value is supplied to a maximum selector, whereby the maximum temperature (t.sub.max) of any of the outlets from the evaporator is obtained, and to a means temperature (t.sub.mean) of the fluid at the outlet of the evaporator is obtained.
