Convective Superheater (Pendant)

Convective super heaters are vertical type (Pendant ) or horizontal types. The Pendant SH is always arranged in the horizontal crossover duct. Pendant SH tubes are widely spaced due to high temperature and ash is soft. Transverse pitch : S1/d > 4.5 Longitudinal pitch : S2/d > 3.5. The outside tube diameter : 32 51mm Tube thickness : 3 7mm

Convective Superheater (Horizontal)

The horizontal SH are located in the back pass. The tubes are arranged in the in-line configuration. The outer diameter of the tube is 32 51 mm. The tube thickness of the tube is 3 7 mm. The transverse pitch : S1/d = 2 3. The longitudinal pitch :S2/d = 1.6 2.5. The tubes are arranged in multiple parallel sets. The desired velocity depends on the type of SH and operating steam pressures. The outside tube diameter : 32 51mm Tube thickness : 3 7mm

Superheater Temperature Control

Basically the control of temperature is to protect the superheater by preventing the metal temperatures reaching a dangerously high level reducing mechanical strength and leading to failure. Water flowing through a tube conducts heat away much more effectively than steam due to its higher specific heat capacity. This means that tubes carrying water have a metal temperature much closer to the fluid passing through it. For superheat temperatures alloys of chrome molybdenum steels are used (upto 560oC), difficulties in welding means that there use is restricted to only within the highest temperature zone and a transition piece fitted to connect to remaining mild steel tubing. Superheat temperature control is therefore fitted to ensure superheat temperature does not exceed design limits.

Locating the desuperheater

The preferred location of desuperheater, especially for temperature above 450 deg C is between sections of superheater. The steam is first passed through a primary superheater where it is raised to intermediate temperature. It is then passed through the desuperheater and its temperature reduction is controlled so that, after continuing through the secondary or final stage of the superheater, the required constant conditions are maintained at the outlet.

Procedure to Determine Optimum Reheat Pressure

Calculate the efficiency of Rankine cycle, Rankine. Calculate mean effective temperature of heat addition, Tm,in using Tc
Rankine = Eq .Carnot = 1
Tm ,in

Find out pressure corresponding to Tm,in and entropy at HP turbine inlet. Add reheating at this pressure and calculate efficiency of the Reheat Cycle. Repeat above steps for few iterations.
May 24, 2012 PMI Revision 00 25

Arrangement and Construction

The arrangement and construction of a reheater is similar to that of a super-heater. In large modern boiler plant, the reheat sections are mixed equally with super-heater sections.

May 24, 2012

Reheater

The pressure drop inside re-heater tubes has an important adverse effect on the efficiency of turbine. Pressure drop through the re-heater should be kept as low as possible. The tube diameter : 42 60mm. The design is similar to convective super-heaters. PMI Revision 00 May 24, 2012 Heat Transfer Coefficient : 90 110 W/m2 K. Overall

Safety Valves
Device attached to a boiler for automatically relieving the pressure of steam before it becomes great enough to cause bursting. The common spring-loaded type is held closed by a spring designed to open the valve when the internal pressure reaches a point in excess of the calculated safe load of the boiler. Safety valves are installed on boilers according to strict safety norms and IBR recommendation

WHY SUPERCRITICAL PRESSURE

Increasing the pressure will mean increase in saturation temperature at which steam evaporates thus increasing the average temperature of heat addition.

A Boiler operating at a pressure above critical point is called SUPERCRITICAL BOILER A point where boiling water and dry saturated lines meet so that associated latent heat is zero, this point is called Critical Point.

CRITICAL CONDITION
Definition CRITICAL is a thermodynamic expression describing the state of a substance beyond which there is no clear distinction between the liquid and gaseous phase. The critical pressure & temperature for water are Pressure = 225.56 Kg / cm2 Temperature = 374.15 C

SUPERCRITICAL BOILER
Supercritical pressure boiler has no drum and heat absorbing surface being, in effect, one continuous tube, hence called once

through Supercritical pressure boilers.

The water in boiler is pressurized by Boiler Feed Pump, sensible heat is added in feed heaters, economizer and furnace tubes, until water attains saturation temperature and flashes instantaneously to dry saturated steam and super heating commences.
