SCOPE
This Engineering Design Guide covers requirements for boiler water circulation
pump systems. Once-through boiler systems are excluded.
2.1
Consult GBHE Engineering Furnace and Boiler Section about the consequences
of boiler circulating water supply failure. The number of pumps is dictated by the
need of the boiler for guaranteed continuous flow.

Pump Reliability

Category 1
The preferred type is a single stage top inlet/top delivery horizontal shaft
centrifugal pump, falling into Reliability Class 4.
An installed standby pump is required, identical to the main pumps on grounds

Web Site: www.GBHEnterprises.com

(2)
Category 2
The required type is the single-stage vertical glandless wet-stator motor pump
set with the pump above the motor, falling into Reliability Class 1.
A standby pump should NOT be installed because of the possibility of it failing to
start owing to sediment build-up.
Current experience is that 4 running pumps have had a total of 2 failures in 10
years when operating at a pressure of 63 bar g.
CHOICE OF DRIVER
If continuous flow is essential despite general electrical supply failure then one of
the pumps should have a steam turbine driver fed by steam directly taken from
the boiler, preferably from the boiler drum.
Hazard studies have shown that the general plant upset makes it essential that
this steam turbine can run at full power whilst exhausting to atmosphere.
For Category 1, specify a direct-coupled steam turbine as the driver for one
pump.
For Category 2 there are two possibilities:

(b)
DUTY CALCUI.ATIONS
Find the NPSH correction by entering Fig 3.1 at the lowest temperature for
which the pump should work at the rated flow
(b)
Check that the correction is less than 20% of the available NPSH: limit
larger corrections to this value.
(c)
Add this correction to the available NPSH and enter on the pump data
sheet for enquiry to the pump supplier.
(d)
B4.1 Stability
A steep Q-H characteristic is required at least a 25% rise to shut-off. Note that
the steady-state process system characteristic has reverse curvature:
Reverse rotation locks are not required. When two or more pumps
are installed, each pump and driver should be capable of reverse rotation
up to 100% of rated forward speed without damage, to cater for defective
operation of non-return valves.
Clause number:
D3
Pressure Waves
Velocity of sound values for water are given in Figures 3.2 and 3.3.
The boiler piping system will normally contain free steam. Note that even a
few percentage points of vapor in the water reduce the velocity of sound
appreciably. Consequently the effect of pressure waves in ordinary
installations is insignificant.

5.1
Mechanical Seals
Mechanical seals should be specified for normal pump inlet pressures between
21 and 43 bar abs and are preferred for pressures between 6 and 21 bar abs.
Below 6 bar abs treat boiler circulation pump seals as boiler feedwater pump
seals.
Specify Borg Warner Mechanical Seal Type D or DRT to material code 5H4A
(BW) with a seal water heat exchanger to Bulletin 1860-15 with Inconel tubing
(austenitic stainless steel tubing is NOT acceptable).
Specify the Type DHT seal where DN > 4000.
The seal flush water heat exchanger is mounted ABOVE the seal in order to
promote thermosyphon action. The particles of iron oxide that characteristically
contaminate boiler circulating water are trapped by the magnetic separator in the
seal water system.

Cool flush water should be injected through a lantern ring when the pump
inlet pressure exceeds 12 bar abs. This flush is taken from the pump
discharge and cooled below 50C by passing through an external heat
exchanger.

Guarding
Ensure that shaft guards at the gland are designed to contain scalding spray and
that the gland enclosure drain is piped to a safe disposal point where efflux of
flash steam will not obscure operationally important items. Check that the gland
enclosure drain size is adequate for gland failure conditions. Assume that partial
failure of a seal or gland has occurred and that the corresponding leakage rate is:
q = K x D x P1/2

q = leakage rate

CONSTRUCTION FEATURES
6.1
It is essential that the motor lies under the pump, with the circulating cool
water flow directed upward through the motor. CEGB experience showed
that this arrangement is immune from thermal bowing of the shaft. The
canned dry-stator pumps on a clients plant, has the motor above the pump
but they required considerable design effort to reduce the risk of such
bowing: it is doubtful whether the same success would have been
obtained with a wet-stator pump.

7.1
Non-return Valves
Check that a bypass line containing a restrictor is fitted around the discharge
non-return valve to keep the pump casing and associated lines warm on standby.
Alternatively a hole can be drilled through the valve disc. This method is open to
error when valves are removed for reconditioning and is therefore not
recommended unless the valve is registered.
7.2
7.3
Such pumps have their casings welded into flange is required for each pump
casing pipeline cleaning and hydraulic testing. It is also used for maintenance.
7.4
Check that the layout allows access for a handling frame to facilitate the rotating
element/motor casing dismantling and reassembly on site.

A local cooling water break tank is required to ensure that cooling continues even
though the main CW system has failed; The tank capacity should give a
residence time of 10 minutes, or more when indicated by the Hazard and
Operability studies.

PAPER 1
Glandless Pumps in CEGB Power Stations
B Barker and R H Blackmore
This paper describes the reasons for the use of glandless pump motor units in
CEGB power stations Applications are discussed in detail. A section is included
on development and testing. Operating experiences are examined.
PAPER 4
Glandless Pumps for Controlled Circulation Boilers
E Smith
Boiler types are defined leading to the boiler design influence on pump duties
and how the pump(s) fit into the boiler system. Some operating problems and
their solutions are discussed.
PAPER 5
Glandless Boiler Circulating Pumps
R Weldon and R Kellett
This paper outlines the design and development of the 750 bhp prototype
glandless boiler circulating pu~ for Kingsnorth Power Station. Suction conditions
of 2650 lb/in (gauge) and 650F demanded special techniques for the
maintenance of safe motor winding temperature levels under all types of
operation. Constructional details of the high-pressure casings are discussed.
Comprehensive prototype tests were carried out to prove the principal design
features. Particulars of the test rigs used and the results obtained from them are
given.
PAPER 8
Boiler Circulating Canned Motor Pumps
H M Morin, A C Gilmer and J P Bredin
This paper presents the technical aspects of the pump constructed by Societe
Rateau for the first French 600 MW controlled circulation boiler. The authors give
the reasons for their design, and present alternative solutions used on other
machines. The paper also describes the pump isolating valves. The test loop on
which the prototype pump has been tested at full power and temperature is
discussed and the main results presented.

PAPER 11
The Performance of Glandless Pumps in Nuclear Power Reactors
R C Worster and V Ivanoff
The two types of motors used in large glandless pumps and their relative merits
as circulators in the primary circuits of water-cooled nuclear power reactors are
discussed. The paper then reviews over 40 pump years of operational
experience with nine glandless pumps of the wet-stator type in the primary
circuits of the Agesta (Stockholm) and the SGHWR (Winfrith) reactors. The
problems of wind milling owing to flow through an idle pump are discussed with
test results.
