- PEPE flan/v1- flTTORA/EYS United States Patent O 3,399,655 FORCED CIRCULATION STEAM GENERATOR WITH THERMAL-MECHANICAL PRE-RE- MOVAL OF CORROSIVE GASES FROM THE LIQUID SUPPLIED TO THE HEATING COIL Perry Arant, Newport Beach, Calif., assignor to Clayton 7 Manufacturing Company, Los Angeles, Calif., a corporation of California Filed Apr. 24, 1967, Ser. No.
- the blended mixture is flashed in the steam separator, forming more steam and releasing corrosive gases contained in the feedwater and making available gas-free liquid which is then circulated from the separator through the heating coil by a circulating pump to be heated and cyclically blended with raw feedwater and flashed in the separator, thus continually removing and preventing corrosive gases from entering the heating coil.
- This invention relates generally to steam generating apparatus of the forcedcirculation type (see my prior Patent 2,987,053), normally including a heating coil or boiler, and a steam separator to which feedwater is supplied and from which stored circulating liquid is withdrawn and pumped to the heating coil, and more particularly to improvements comprising means for supplying feedwater, preferably preheated or at a modulated flow rate or both, to the-system in such manner that dissolved corrosive gases in the raw feedwater are removed in the steam separator through thermal-mechanical action before the feedwater is added to the circulating liquid storage for subsequent pumping to the heating coil or boiler.
- the present invention relates to steam generating apparatus having forced circulation and including a heating coil and a steam separator, wherein raw feedwater (usually containing corrosive gases, for example, oxygen and carbon dioxide) is pumped by a feedwater pump to a juncture point between the heating coil and the steam separator and blended with a stream of steam-containing liquid from the heating coil.
- raw feedwater usually containing corrosive gases, for example, oxygen and carbon dioxide
- the fluids thus blended are delivered to a centrifugal separator nozzle located inside the steam separator casing where the steam and corrosive gases are separated from the liquid, as the major portion of the liquid flashes into steam and releases the corrosive gases.
- a circulating pump withdraws the gas-free liquid from the separator storage reservoir and circulates it through the heating coil, thereby preventing entry of corrosive gases into the heating coil.
- a feedwater heat exchanger is connected in series in the circulation path of the gas-free circulating liquid, between the separator and the circulating pump, and utilizes some of the heat of the gas-free circulating liquid to heat the feedwater before it reaches the blending juncture point.
- the feedwater pump and the circulating pump is a combination assembly driven by a continuously operating, single motor.
- the feedwater pump includes a by-pass that is controlled by a solenoid in response to a switch that opens and closes with changes in level of the circulating liquid in the separator, so that the level does not drop below a given minimum level nor exceed a given maximum level.
- a modulating type feedwater flow rate control valve can be installed in a by-pass pipe around the feedwater pump to control the rate at which feedwater is blended with the heated stream from the heating coil to minimize the temperature change at the blending point along with relative pressure changes.
- the modulating type valve in such embodiment is controlled by a liquid level responsive control unit, which may be electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic depending upon the kind of modulating valve that is used.
- a single motor for driving both the feedwater pump and circulating pump is independently controlled and runs continuously.
- Another object is to provide forced circulation steam generating apparatus employing a heating coil, or boiler, and a steam separator, wherein the centrifugal separating nozzle of-the steam separator is utilized to remove '"dissolvedg'asesfrom'raw feed-water before it is supplied to the heating coil as make-up water.
- Still another object is to provide torced'circulation steam generating apparatus wherein raw feedwater is blended with the saturated discharge flowing from the heating coil, the blend then being delivered to a steam separator wherein, in the process of separating steam from liquid, gases dissolved in the raw feedwater are released for discharge from the separator with the steam.
- a further object is to provide improved forced circulation steam generating apparatus designed to minimize any adverse thermal efiects ofblending raw feed-water with the saturated discharge from the heating coil or boiler and to increase the thermal efliciency of the apparatus by controlling the rate at which the raw .feedwater is added.
- FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic view of a first embodiment of the steam generating apparatus, showing a heat exchanger through which t-he raw feedwater is passed before being blended with the saturated discharge from the heating coil, for entry therewith into the steam separator;
- FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic view of a second embodiment of the invention, wherein the heat exchanger is eliminated and a by-pass modulating valve is utilized to control the blending of raw feedwater with the heating coil discharge;
- FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 2, but includes the heat exchanger of FIG. 1.
- a forced circulation steam generating apparatus including a steam generating unit 2 and a steam separator 4.
- the generating unit 2 includes a housing 6 within which is disposed a heating coil or boiler 8, comprising a conventional pancake coil upper section 10, and a helical lower water wall section 12 containing a sheet metal combustion chamber liner 14.
- the coil 8 is continuous and has an inlet 9 at the upper pancake end thereof, and an outlet 11 at the lower end of the water wall section 12.
- the lower end of the housing 6 contains a combustion chamber 16, into which projects an oil burner nozzle 18 for injecting fuel into the combustion chamber 16, where the fuel is burned.
- the upper end of the housing 6 has a flue 20 for the escape of combustion gases, the burning iuel functioning to heat the liquid in the coil 8.
- a ring thermostat tube 22 is disposed at the base of the pancake coil 10 and is connected with a conventional thermostat control 24 that controls the supply of fuel to the burner nozzle 18, whereby control is main tained' over the temperature of the water in the coil 8.
- a blower 26 supplies air to the combustion chamber 12 through a duct 28 and an opening 29 at the lower end of said chamber.
- the steam separator 4 includes an insulation-jacketed casing 30 within which is mounted a centrifugal separating nozzle 32 positioned about midway of the height of the casing.
- the centrifugal nozzle 32 functions to separate steam from a saturated mixture of steam and liquid supplied to the separator 4 from the outlet 11 of the steam generator unit 2, the separated liquid falling by "gravity into a reservoir portion 34 below the nozzle 32 where it forms a supply of circulating liquid 36.
- Any solid matters contained within the liquid 36 in the reservoir 34 will precipitate out and accumulate in the lower end of the reservoir, the bottom of the casing 30 having a blow-down valve 38 connected thereto for periodically cleaningthe'reserv'oir.
- the upper end of the casing 30 has a conventional shut-off valve 40 thereon, which is connected with a conduit 42 for conducting steam away from the separator 4.
- the upper end of the casing 30 is also fitted with a safety valve 44, which can be of any suitable type for relieving any excess pressure that may occur in the separator 4.
- a conventional gauge glass 46 is mounted at one side of the casing '30, and a pressure gauge 48 is connected with the steam accumulation chambers in the upper portion of the casing 30 to provide a reading of the steam pressure.
- Raw feedwater for the steam generating apparatus is withdrawn from a storage tank 50, orother sourceof supply, through a conduit 52 by a feedwater pump 54, the conduit 52 having a strainer .56connected therein for screening out solid impurities.
- the discharge or outlet side of the feedwater pump 54 is connected by a conduit 58 to the inlet 60 of a water jacket or casing 62 of the heat exchanger 64, the water jacket 62 having a heat exchangecoil 66 extending therethrough.
- An outlet 68 of the water jacket 62 is connected by a conduit .70 with a conduit 72. at a juncture A.
- raw feedwater supplied by the feedwater pump 54 is blended with the hot saturated discharge from the heating coil 8 at the junction A, i.e., in advance of the steam separator 4, and the resultant blend flows to the nozzle 32 for discharge into the steam chamber S.
- the addition of feedwater is controlled so that no objectionable temperature drop occurs in the saturated stream.
- the separator casing 30 has an outlet 76 for the circulating liquid 36 positioned substantially above the bottom of the reservoir portion 3-4 to minimize the possibility of withdrawing accumulated solid contaminates that have been precipitated from the liquid 36.
- a conduit 78 is connected to the outlet 76 and leads to an inlet 80 of the heat exchange'coil 66.
- An outlet 82 of the heat exchange coil 66 is connected by a conduit 84 with the inlet of a circulating pump 86.
- the discharge or outlet side of the circulating pump 86. is connected by a conduit 88 to the inlet 9 of the heating coil 8.
- the con-duit 88 has a shut-off valve 92 connected therein and a, pressure gauge 94 is mounted in said conduit between the valve 92 and the circulating pump 86 to indicate coil inlet pressure.
- the feedwater pump 54 and the circulating pump 86 are combined and driven by a single electric. motor 96 controlled by a manual switch 97.
- the feedwater pump 54 has a solenoid-operated by-pass control 99 connected thereto so that the circulating pump 86 operates continuously, while the feedwater pump 54 is rendered ineffective to pump feedwater to the junction point A when the solenoid 'by-p'ass control 99 is energized.
- the .operation of the feedwater pump through the solenoid by-pass 99 is controlledrthrough a conventional float or other type of switch 98, which is responsive to changes in the level of the circulating liquid 36 within the steam separator reservoir portion 34.
- the switch 98 is connected in a water leg 100 inthe conventional manner, so that it is operable by and responsive to variations inthelevel of the circulating liquid.
- the switch-98 is supplied with electricity by leads 102 through a switch 104, andis connected to the terminals of the feedwater by-pass.soleuoid 99 by conductors 106.
- the switch 98 is designed to open and close in response to a given change in the level of the circulating liquid 36.
- the circulating pump 86 withdraws circulating liquid 36 from the steam separator reservoir section 34 through the conduit 78, heat exchange coil 66 and conduit 84 and supplies it to the inlet 9 of the heating coil 8 through the conduit 88.
- the liquid is then pumped through the heating coil 8, wherein it is heated to form a mixture of steam and water under a desired pressure, for example, 150 p.s.i.
- This mixture then passes through the conduit 72 to the centrifugal separating nozzle 32 where a pressure drop occurs and the mixture nearly completely flashes into steam.
- the feedwater pump 54 supplies raw feedwater, which usually contains dissolved corrosive gases, to the conduit 58, from whence it passes through the heat exchanger 64 into the conduit 70 and to the junction A, where it is blended with the saturated heating coil discharge in the conduit 72 prior to entry into the steam separator.
- the resultant blend of coil discharge fluid and raw feedwater passes to the centrifugal separator nozzle 32, which functions to separate both steam and dissolved gases from the liquid.
- the portion of the liquid not flashed into steam drops, or flows down the inner wall of the separator casing 30, into the reservoir 34 to accumulate as the circulating liquid 36.
- Dissolved gases originally contained within the raw feedwater such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, are thus freed by a thermalmechanical action and thereafter pass out of the casing 30 through the conduit 42, together with the steam.
- the circulating liquid 36 contained within the reservoir 34 is free of such corrosive gases, and the heating coil corrosion problem associated with such gases is eliminated.
- the raw feedwater could be supplied directly to the junction A in FIG. 1 without passing through the heat exchanger casing 62, if desired, and the centrifugal nozzle 32 would still function to release the dissolved gases.
- the raw feedwater is fed directly to the junction A for blending with the heated fluid from the heating coil 8, each time that feedwater is fed into the system it would cause a rapid consumption of latent heat in the fluid in the conduit 72, which in turn would result in a wide fluctuation of steam pressure within the steam accumulation space S of the steam separator 4.
- a pressure drop of 40-50 p.s.i. in the steam accumulator space S can occur each time that a charge of the raw feedwater is rapidly fed directly to the junction A, and which pressure drop is objectionable.
- the use of the heat exchanger 64 greatly alleviates the problem of undesirable steam pressure fluctuation in the steam separator 4.
- the relatively hot circulating liquid 36 in passing through the heating coil 66 in counterflow to the raw feedwater substantially raises the temperature of the feedwater before it is blendedwith the fluid from the heating coil 8 at the junction A.
- steam pressure fluctuations in the steam accumulation space S can be held to within a few p.s.i. The closer the temperature of the raw feedwater to the temperature of the coil discharge fluids at the time the two are blended at junction A, the less will be the steam pressure fluctuation in the steam separator 4.
- Fluctuation in the steam pressure can also be alleviated by gradually and carefully modulating the flow of feedwater into the conduit 72, as described later. Normally, in FIG. 1, when the switch 98 closes, raw feedwater will be pumped rapidly through the heat exchanger 64 into the conduit 72, and it is this rapid combining of large quantities of relatively cooler raw feedwater with the hotter heating coil discharge fluids that would cause the principal loss of latent heat and consequent objectionable pressure drop in the absence of feedwater preheating.
- FIG. 2 Another embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 2, whereint'he flow of feedwater is modulated in such a way that blending of the raw feedwater with the heating coil discharge can be achieved very gradually without using a heat exchanger, and without causing severe fluctuations in steam pressure.
- the outlet 76 of the steam separator 4 is connected directly to the inlet of the circulating pump 86 by a conduit 108.
- the inlet of the feedwater pump 54 is connected to the storage tank by a conduit 110 having a strainer 56 therein, and the outlet side of the feedwater pump 54 is connected by a conduit 112 to a junction A with the conduit 72 leading from the heating coil to the centrifugal separating nozzle 32.
- a 'by-pass pipe 114 is connected around the feedwater pump 54 between the conduits 110 and 112, and has a diaphragm type flow modulating valve 116 of conventional construction connected therein.
- the valve 116 is connected by a fluid pressure transmitting and release tube 118 to a liquid level responsive control 98A, which may be in the form of a conventional pilot valve.
- the motor 96 runs continuously when the device is in use to continuously operate the feedwater pump 54 and the circulating pump 86.
- the pressure in the tube 118 will be relieved and the modulating by-pass valve 116 will be substantially fully open when the pilot control 98A senses a maximum level condition in the reservoir 34, whereby raw feedwater will then be circulated through the by-pass pipe 114 by the pump 54 and will not be supplied to the junction A.
- the modulating diaphragm valve 116 will gradually close to thereby discontinue by-passing of the feedwater and gradually blend raw feedwater with the discharge fluids flowing through the conduit 72.
- the pilot control 98A is responsive to very slight changes in liquid level in the separator 4 and causes the valve 116 to modulate in its opening and closing to vary the rate of flow therethrough in accordance with the liquid level variations in the reservoir 34.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 both function to eflectively remove soluble corrosive gases from raw feedwater before make-up from the separator is supplied to the heating coil or boiler 8.
- the problem of coil corrosion due to corrosive gases being dissolved in the liquid supplied to the heating coil 8 is eliminated.
- coil life is greatly prolonged, and because the danger of coil rupture is greatly reduced, the safety of operation of the forced circulation type steam generator is greatly enhanced.
- FIG. 3 A further embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 3, wherein a heat exchanger 64' is connected in the conduit 108.
- the inlet 60 of the heat exchange jacket 62' is connected with the conduit 112.
- the outlet 68' of the jacket 62 is connected by a conduit 70' to the conduit 72 at the junction A.
- a heat exchange coil 66' has its inlet and its outlet 82 connected with spaced portions of the conduit 108.
- the heat exchanger 64' functions in the same manner as the heat exchanger 64 previously described.
- the modulating valve 116 functions in the same manner previously described in controlling the gradual rate of flow of raw feedwater to the juncture point A.
- the embodiment of FIG. 3 combines the advantages of preheating the feedwater, as in FIG. 1, and the gradual fiow rate of feedwater, as in FIG. 2, for the utmost efficiency in operation, in addition to effecting removal of corrosive gases from the raw feedwater.
- the feedwater flow rate modulating valve 116 has been described as pressure-operated in response to variations in circulating liquid level sensed by the pilot valve 98A, it will be understood that the modulating valve may. be of an electrical type and that it may be controlled by an electrical liquid level sensing device that signals changes in level to the modulating valve to control flow therethrough to maintain the desired liquid level in the separator 4.
