Erwin Glahe ATTORNEY United States Patent Office 3,l20,339 Patented Feb. 11, 1964 3,129,?39 DEVHCE FUR LEW MEAD GPERATION F (BNiCE-THRQUGH EQTLERS Erwin Glahe, Hattingen (Ruhr), Lernbeclk, Germany, assrgnor to Durrwerlre Ahtiengeseilsehaft, Ratingen, Germany, a corporation oi German Filed Dec. 28, 1961, Ser. No. 162,662 2 Claims. (Cl. 122-4tl6) This invention relates generally to improvements in the construction and operation of power plants having forced circulation vapor generating units of the oncethrough type with vapor generating and superheating sections, and particularly to improved provisions for starting up and operating vapor generating units of this type at low output rates while adequately protecting the vapor superheating section of the unit.
This invention is an improvement of the arrangement shown in US. Patent 2,989,038, issued lune 20, 1961, to Ottmar Schwarz. As shown in the patent, the starting up of a once-through vapor generating unit has been improved and while the present invention utilizes the starting up procedure of the patent, the system arrangement of the present invention additionally permits low load operation of the unit without the hazards heretofore present in the operation of such units.
In the usual operation of a once-through vapor gen erating or boiler unit the transition zone wherein the con version of water to steam will generally occur within the intermediate portion of the unit, the location varying with changes in the operating rate of the unit. During low load operation however, while the transition zone will normally move toward the water inlet portion of the unit thereby increasing the proportionate amount of heating surface of the superheating section and so tend to maintain a desired steam temperature at reduced output, the net result may not cause the transition zone to shift enough to provide the steam superheat temperatures desired. These difiiculties can be overcome, as disclosed in the present invention, without subjecting the steam superheating and generating sections of the unit to overheating.
In accordance "with the invention a once-through boiler or steam generating unit of the type described can be operated at a low operating rate or load while maintaining the steam temperature and pressure at desired values consistent with efficient steam turbine performance. This is accomplished by closing a cut-off valve intermediate the steam generating and steam heating sections of the unit whereby the pressurized, heated fluid is diverted from the steam generating section of the unit through a pres sure reducing valve, with the flashing fluid discharging into a vessel where the water and steam are separated. The separated water is returned to the water heating and/or steam generating section of the unit from the low pressure vessel, while the separated steam is passed through the steam superheating section wherein it is superheated to a desired value and delivered to the turbine. When using the present invention, the fuel delivery rate to the furnace of the unit is controlled in direct response to the steam temperature leaving the unit.
While the use of a reducing valve and the resultant low pressure zone provides steam for the superheating section of the unit and ultimately to the turbine at a pressure substantially lower than that of the water delivered to the unit, it is sometimes desirable to increase the pressure of the water delivered to the unit at low load so that the pressure of the steam delivered to the turbine will be at a value comparable with the steam delivered to the turbine under normal operating conditions. In other Words, the present invention includes the concept of increasing the pressure of the water delivered 2 to the unit to compensate at least in port for the pressure drop involved in passing the water from the unit through the pressure reducing valve, the low pressure zone and thence to the steam heating section.
The various features of novelty which characterize my invention are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this specification. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and specific objects attained by its use, reference should be had to the accompanying drawing and descriptive matter in which 1 have illustrated and described a preferred embodiment of the invention.
The drawing illustrates diagrammatically a oncethrough steam boiler constructed and arranged in accordance with the invention. 7
in the system illustrated, boiler feed water is withdrawn from a hot well or feed water reservoir 1 at a suitable temperature and is forced under a substantial positive pressure by a feed water pump 2 through the tubes forming serially connected water heating or steam generating sections 4, 5 and 6 and steam superheating sections '7 and 8. The Wt E61 heating sections are preferably located mainly in a radiant heat absorbing section of the furnace and boiler setting 3. The steam superhea-ting sections 7 and 3 are preferably located in a relatively low gas temperature convection heating section of the boiler. The firing rate of the boiler is regulated to produce the desired superheated steam temperature, with the steam flow path being through a conduit 23 and a valve 9, into the turbine it and to a condenser 11. The condensate from the condenser lit is pumped through the conduit 22 to the hot well 1. A by-pass steam line 24 for use during start up and equipped with a valve 2-5 connects the conduit 23 with the condenser 13, thus bypassing the turbine As disclosed in Patent 2,989,038 a normally open cutoff valve 12 is located in the once-through boiler between the primary superheater 7 and the steam generating section ti for use during start up. in the present arrangement the cut-oil valve 1 .2 is positioned between the superheating sections 7 and A pipe 13 having a valve 13 connects the upstream side of the valve 12 with a low pressure flash tank :14. Another pipe 15 with flow control valve 15 connects the steam space of the flash tank 14 with the downstream side of the valve 12. The lower portion of the flash tank 14 is provided with a Water discharge pipe 19 having a valve 19 therein for conveying Water from the flash tank 1 into the condensate return pipe 22 and thence to the hot well 1.
As shown in the drawing, the cut-off valve 12 is closed during start-up of the once-through boiler with the fluid being pumped through the heat exchange members 4, 5, 6 and 7, then passing through the valve 13' into the flash tank 14. The valve 13 is a pressure reducing valve, so that the heated fluid delivered to the tank 1'4 through the valve 13 has flashed at least a portion thereof into saturated steam. The steam from the tank 14 upon passing through the pipe id and its associated valve 15', is introduced into the superheating portion of the once through boiler system to be superheated in the secondary superheater it. With this arrangement, the flow through that portion of the unit upstream of valve 12 will protect the heat absorbing surfaces. The tubes of the secondary superheater S are protected by the steam supplied from the flash tank 7.4. As is also disclosed in said patent, the water level in the tank 14 is maintained. substantially uniform during the start up period of boiler operation by withdrawing water through the valve 19' for return to the hot Well it. During start up steam discharged through the conduit may by-pass the turbine through the conduit 24, with the steam condensed in the condenser 11 returned to the hot well 1 through conduit 22.
As the flow through the once-through boiler is increased during start up it is desirable to pass steam through the valve 9 to the turbine to warm up the turbine. As the fiow through the once-through boiler is gradually increased to a predetermined rate the valve 12 will be opened With the simultaneous closing of valves '13 and 15', all of the steam thereafter passing through the conduit 23 and valve 9, to the turbine ill for normal capacity operation.
In accordance with the present invention, low load operation may cause an operating condition wherein steam superheating portions of the unit may become overheated by reason of the movement of the transition point upstream from the normal transition zone to the vicinity of or even upstream or", the water heating and evaporating portion 6. Under these conditions it has been found highly desirable to utilize a cut-off valve 16 positioned between the heat absorbing sections and 6 to divert heated Water, or a steam and water mixture, to a low pressure zone such as previously described in connection with the known start up system, to insure the presence of adequate amounts of water in the heat absorbing tubes disposed within the hotter portions of the furnace. The precise location of the valve 16, which may be further upstream or downstream than here shown in a oncethrough boiler circuit depends on the location of the transition zone for the particular unit design under consideration at the desired low load operation rate. Alternately more than one valve 16 may be positioned in the intermediate portion of the unit for selective operation within the system in accordance with the hereinafter described operation of the valve 16.
A pressure reducing valve 17' is installed in the conduit 17 which connects the once-through boiler upstream of the cut-oil valve 16 with the conduit 13 leading to the fiash tank 14. In a similar manner the conduit 18 connects the steam space of the flash tank 1'4 through conduit with the downstream portion of the once-through boiler immediately downstream of the valve 16.
In operation, the valve 1?, will be open and valves 13' and 15 closed, the valve 16 may be closed at low load operating rates, with heated water or fluid passing through the pressure reducing valve 1'7 to the fiash tank 14. The steam separated in tank 14- is passed back to the oncethrough boiler through the conduits l5 and 13. With this arrangement only water or steam-water mixture passes through the heat exchange sections 4 and 5 with steam only passed through the sections 6, 7 and 8. The excess water separated in the tank 14 is returned through the conduit 19 and valve 19 and conduit 22 to the hot well 1 as hereinbefore described in connection with the start up procedure of the boiler.
It will be noted that the pressure drop in passing fluid through the heat exchange sections 4 and 5, the pressure reducing valve 17, through the flash tank 14 and the conduits 15 and '18 will result in a considerable reduction in the pressure of the steam delivered to the superheating sections 6, 7 and 8 and turbine it as compared to operation excluding the pressure reducing system from the flow path. If desired, for turbine operating purposes, it is possible to increase the pressure of the Water delivered by the pump 2 to compensate for the pressure loss in passing the steam and water flow through the circuit including the fiash tank 14 so that the steam delivered to the turbine 10 may be at any desirable pressure for efficient operation of the turbine.
Whenever necessary to compensate for system losses, make-up Water may be added through the conduit 21, and its control valve 2t). Such make-up Water will mix with the condensate within the hot well It, so that the temperature of the Water delivered to the boiler by the pump 2 will be generally uniform in temperature.
The present invention is particularly useful in the operation of a once-through boiler, since it will permit efficient and safe operation throughout an increased range of operating rates.
While in accordance with the provisions of the statutes 1 have illustrated and described herein the best form and mode of operation of the invention now known to me, those skilled in the art will understand that changes may be made in the form of the apparatus disclosed without departing from the spirit of the invention covered by my claims, and that certain features of my invention may sometimes be used to advantage without a corresponding use of other features. &
