Definitions

  • the present invention relates to boiler structures that optimize the flow-rate distribution in boiler evaporation tubes (furnace water-walls).
  • furnaces of supercritical variable-pressure once-through boilers in the related art particularly, vertical-tube furnaces having furnace water-walls (furnace walls) formed of multiple boiler evaporation tubes arrayed in the vertical direction
  • This flow-rate adjustment not only requires adjusting the flow rate for the individual boiler evaporation tubes in accordance with the thermal load distribution within the furnace walls, but also requires adjusting differences in loss of pressure (also referred to as "pressure loss” hereinafter) occurring due to differences in system channels among the individual furnace walls (front wall, rear wall, and left and right walls).
  • a technology of performing distributive adjustment of the feedwater flow rate between the furnace walls or between divided blocks is known.
  • flow-rate control valves are provided at the inlets of the furnace walls, and the fluid temperature detected at the outlets of the furnace walls is input to a control device. Therefore, the control device automatically controls the feedwater flow rate and performs distributive adjustment by controlling the degree of opening of the flow-rate control valves so that the input fluid temperature at the outlets becomes equal to a target value (for example, see Patent Citations 1 and 2).
  • orifices are disposed in nozzle stubs of inlet headers provided for the individual furnace walls, and these orifices are used for performing flow-rate adjustment that accords with the thermal load distribution within the furnace walls, for the individual boiler evaporation tubes.
  • the internal fluid flowing within the water-wall surfaces of the furnace water-wall it is effective to reduce friction loss from the inlet headers to the outlet headers for the individual furnace walls so as to ensure flow stability therein.
  • the pressure loss occurring between the inlet headers and the outlet headers of the individual furnace walls can be prevented from becoming excessive so long as pressure-loss adjustment intended only for adjusting the flow-rate distribution for the individual boiler evaporation tubes within the furnace walls is possible, or in other words, so long as the orifice diameter can be set solely on the basis of flow-rate adjustment for the individual boiler evaporation tubes.
  • the orifice diameter in the related art is set so as to correct pressure-loss differences among the multiple divided furnace walls. Therefore, with regard to the pressure loss from the furnace inlet headers to the outlet headers, since the orifice diameter tends to become smaller when adjusting the pressure-loss differences, the increase in pressure loss due to the orifices becomes greater. Specifically, since the orifices of the related art also adjust pressure-loss differences in system channels that differ among the multiple furnace walls in addition to performing the flow-rate adjustment that accords with the thermal load distribution within the furnace water-wall, for the individual boiler evaporation tubes, there is room for improvement in that the overall pressure loss in the furnace water-wall, including the pressure loss in the orifices, becomes higher than in an ideal case.
  • the present invention has been made in view of these circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a boiler structure that allows for appropriate flow-rate distribution of an internal fluid to multiple divided furnace wall surfaces (furnace walls) without excessive pressure loss so as to reduce the pressure loss (friction loss) occurring between furnace inlet headers and outlet headers.
  • the present invention provides the following solutions.
  • a boiler structure having a furnace water-wall formed of multiple boiler evaporation tubes disposed on a wall surface of a furnace and configured to generate steam by heating water inside the furnace when the water pressure-fed to the boiler evaporation tubes flows inside the tubes
  • the boiler structure includes first pressure-loss adjusting sections, for an internal fluid, provided in distribution tubes that guide the water to inlet headers of furnace walls obtained by dividing the furnace water-wall into multiple parts, and second pressure-loss adjusting sections provided in nozzle stubs that guide the water from the inlet headers to the boiler evaporation tubes.
  • the first pressure-loss adjusting sections and the second pressure-loss adjusting sections can share roles such that the first pressure-loss adjusting sections are configured to correct pressure-loss differences among the multiple divided water-walls and the second pressure-loss adjusting sections are configured to perform flow-rate adjustment that accords with the thermal load distribution within the furnace water-wall, for the individual boiler evaporation tubes.
  • the first pressure-loss adjusting sections and the second pressure-loss adjusting sections may be configured to perform desired pressure-loss adjustment by dividing each of them into multiple stages depending on conditions such as the diameter of channels where they are to be installed.
  • the first pressure adjusting sections be configured by using one of or combining a plurality of fixed orifices fitted in the distribution tubes, thick-walled short tubes having the same outer diameter as the distribution tubes and fitted therein, and individual adjustment of a pressure loss occurring in the distribution tubes.
  • the fixed orifices fitted in the outlet connection tubes can adjust the pressure loss by varying the orifice diameter thereof.
  • the thick-walled short tubes having the same outer diameter as the outlet connection tubes and fitted therein are each formed of a tubular member whose inner diameter is reduced by increasing the wall thickness thereof and can adjust the pressure loss by varying the inner diameter and the length thereof.
  • the first pressure-loss adjusting sections and the second pressure-loss adjusting sections provided on the upstream side of the furnace water-wall have different functions with respect to the flow-rate distribution to the furnace water-wall, an appropriate distribution can be achieved without excessive pressure loss.
  • a pressure loss (friction loss) that occurs due to the flow of an internal fluid can be reduced between the furnace inlet headers and outlet headers through which the internal fluid flows. Therefore, flow stability and natural circulation of the internal fluid within the furnace water-wall are enhanced, thereby achieving a significant advantage of providing a highly-reliable boiler structure.
  • a boiler 1 is a supercritical variable-pressure once-through boiler having a furnace water-wall 4 formed of multiple boiler evaporation tubes 3 disposed on a wall surface of a furnace 2 and configured to generate steam by heating water inside the furnace 2 when the water pressure-fed to the boiler evaporation tubes 3 flows inside the tubes.
  • the boiler 1 in the drawings is rectangular in horizontal cross section of the furnace 2, and the furnace water-wall 4 is formed by being divided into four furnace walls, i.e., front, rear, left, and right faces; for example, as shown in Fig. 1 , the furnace walls are connected to a roof water-wall 5 via outlet connection tubes 10.
  • the furnace water-wall 4 is divided into four furnace walls including a left wall 4A, a front wall 4B, and a right wall 4C.
  • Water used for generating steam is fed to the aforementioned furnace water-wall 4 from a fuel economizer.
  • the water fed from the fuel economizer is distributed, via inlet connection tubes 20, to inlet headers 21 provided respectively for the four divided furnace walls.
  • the inlet connection tubes 20 function as distribution tubes for feeding water by distributing and guiding the water introduced from the fuel economizer to the inlet headers 21 provided on the upstream side of the four divided furnace walls, i.e., the left wall 4A, the front wall 4B, a rear wall 4C, and the right wall 4C.
  • the multiple boiler evaporation tubes 3 that extend in the vertical direction and form the furnace water-wall 4 are connected to nozzle stubs of the inlet headers 21.
  • the inlet connection tubes 20 are each provided with an orifice 22 serving as a first pressure-loss adjusting section for the internal fluid.
  • the orifices 22 used here are fixed orifices with desired orifice diameters that differ among the individual inlet connection tubes 20 depending on flow-rate adjustment.
  • the orifice diameters in this case are set so as to correct pressure-loss differences in system channels that differ among the furnace walls.
  • the nozzle stub that guides water from the corresponding inlet header 21 to the boiler evaporation tube 3 is provided with an orifice 23 serving as a second pressure-loss adjusting section.
  • the orifices 23 used here are fixed orifices with desired orifice diameters that differ among the individual boiler evaporation tubes 3.
  • the two-stage orifices 22 and 23 provided at the inlet side of the furnace 2 perform flow-rate adjustment (distribution) of the internal fluid for each feedwater system by adjusting a pressure loss in the internal fluid.
  • the two-stage orifices 22 and 23 are provided in a role-sharing manner such that they perform different flow-rate adjustment, that is, the orifices 22 provided in the inlet connection tubes 20 that guide water to the inlet headers 21 of the furnace walls obtained by dividing the furnace water-wall 4 into multiple parts correct pressure-loss differences among the multiple divided water-walls, whereas the orifices 23 provided in the nozzle stubs that guide water from the inlet headers 21 to the respective boiler evaporation tubes 3 perform flow-rate adjustment that accords with the thermal load distribution within the furnace water-wall 4, for the individual boiler evaporation tubes 3.
  • the pressure-loss adjusting sections that are disposed at the inlet (upstream) side of the furnace and that adjust a pressure loss in the internal fluid are divided into the orifices 22 disposed in the split inlet connection tubes 20 at the upstream side of the inlet headers 21 and the orifices 23 disposed in the nozzle stubs at the furnace water-wall 4 side relative to the inlet headers 21, thereby reducing friction loss within the furnace water-wall (the inlet headers 21 at the furnace inlet - the furnace water-wall (front wall, rear wall, and left and right walls) - headers at the furnace outlet) and consequently enhancing flow stability and natural circulation within the furnace water-wall.
  • the orifices 22 and 23 of the above embodiment may each be divided into multiple stages depending on conditions such as the diameter of channels where they are to be installed; in other words, multistage orifices may be arranged in series so as to perform desired pressure-loss adjustment.
  • thick-walled short tubes 24 with the same outer diameter as the inlet connection tubes 20 are fitted therein.
  • the thick-walled short tubes 24 optimally adjust the flow-rate distribution for the furnace walls on the basis of a pressure loss that occurs when the internal fluid in the water state passes through the thick-walled short tubes 24.
  • the thick-walled short tubes 24 in this case have the same outer diameter as the inlet connection tubes 20, and tubular members whose inner diameter is reduced by increasing the wall thickness thereof are used. Specifically, by varying the inner diameter and the length of the thick-walled short tubes 24, the pressure loss can be adjusted.
  • this modification employs individual adjustment of the pressure loss that occurs when the internal fluid flows through the inlet connection tubes 20.
  • the pressure loss is adjusted by varying at least one of the inner diameter of the tubular members used for forming the inlet connection tubes 20, the number thereof, and the channel length thereof.
  • the thick-walled short tubes 24 having the same outer diameter as the inlet connection tubes 20 and fitted therein, and the individual adjustment of the pressure loss occurring in the inlet connection tubes 20, the aforementioned first pressure adjusting sections may be configured by using one of the above or combining a plurality of the above. Employing an optimal combination in accordance with the conditions can allow for, for example, finer adjustment of the pressure loss and an increased adjustment range.
  • furnace water-walls 6A, 6B, and 6C obtained by dividing a rear wall 6 into three parts are further provided in addition to the four divided walls, i.e., the left wall 4A, the front wall 4B, the rear wall 4C, and the right wall 4C.
  • Water fed from the fuel economizer to the rear wall 6 is heated, as in the furnace water-wall 4, so as to become a two-phase flow or vaporized internal fluid.
  • This internal fluid is distributed to a channel line in which the internal fluid travels through an outlet connection tube 30, which connects the rear wall 6 and the downstream side of the roof water-wall 5, via an intermediate sub sidewall tube 7 so as to merge with steam generated by the furnace water-wall 4 and to a channel line in which the internal fluid travels through an outlet connection tube 31, which connects the additional water-wall 6 and the downstream side of the roof water-wall 5, via an intermediate rear-wall suspended tube 8 so as to merge with the steam generated by the furnace water-wall 4.
  • each of the inlet connection tubes 20 is similarly provided with a first pressure-loss section and a second pressure-loss section for the internal fluid so that pressure-loss adjustment is performed.
  • the first pressure-loss adjusting sections provided in the inlet connection tubes 20 an embodiment shown in Fig. 5 employs the individual adjustment of the pressure loss. Specifically, the pressure loss is adjusted by varying at least one of the inner diameter of the tubular members used for forming the inlet connection tubes 20 through which water flows, the number thereof, and the channel length thereof.
  • the thick-walled short tubes 24 fitted in midsections of the inlet connection tubes 20, through which water flows, are employed as the first pressure-loss adjusting sections provided in the inlet connection tubes 20.
  • the thick-walled short tubes 24 whose inner diameter is reduced by increasing the wall thickness thereof and having the same outer diameter as the inlet connection tubes 20 are each fitted in the midsection of a tubular member used for forming each inlet connection tube 20, and the pressure loss is adjusted by appropriately varying the inner diameter and the length thereof.
  • the orifices 22 fitted in midsections of the inlet connection tubes 20, in which the internal fluid is water, are employed as the first pressure-loss adjusting sections provided in the inlet connection tubes 20.
  • the orifices 22 are each fitted in the midsection of a tubular member used for forming each inlet connection tube 20, and the pressure loss is adjusted by appropriately varying the orifice diameter thereof.
  • the first pressure adjusting sections shown in Figs. 5 to 7 may be configured by using any one of: the individual adjustment of the pressure loss in the inlet connection tubes 20 and the like, the thick-walled short tubes 24 fitted therein, and the orifices 22 fitted therein, or by appropriately combining a plurality of the above.
  • the first pressure-loss adjusting sections, such as the orifices 22, and the second pressure-loss adjusting sections, such as the orifices 23, provided on the upstream side of the furnace water-wall 4 have different functions with respect to the flow-rate distribution to the furnace water-wall 4 so as to allow for an appropriate distribution without excessive pressure loss.
  • a pressure loss (friction loss) that occurs due to the flow of an internal fluid can be reduced between the inlet headers 21 and outlet headers of the furnace 2 through which the internal fluid flows. Therefore, flow stability and natural circulation of the internal fluid within the furnace water-wall 4 are enhanced, whereby a highly-reliable boiler structure can be provided.
