Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A steam gas plant including a gas turbine the exhaust gases of the gas turbine feed the burners of the steam generator which in turn feeds the steam turbine, a steam generator, and a steam turbine, in which the operation of the gas turbine continues under full load even for reduced loads on the steam turbine.
  • the invention maintains under varying steam turbine loads the temperature at the input of a deaerator constant, the deaerator being fed in parallel by an economizer subjected to the heat of the flue gases of the steam generator and by water heaters fed with steam extracted from the turbine.
  • one of the streams feeding the deaerator is controlled by a gate the extent of opening of which is defined by the ratio of the throughput of flue gases acting on the economizer and the flow of water in the economizer and possibly also by the modifications in the temperature at the output of the economizer.
  • Our invention has in particular for its object a method for operating a plant of such a type so as to ensure the proper utilization of the entire plant under different load conditions.
  • the temperature of the water at the input of the deaerator which is fed with water from one or more water heaters and from an economizer inserted in parallel with the heater or heaters, is maintained by adjusting the throughput of the water passing through the heater or heaters under the control of the ratio of the throughput of water passing through the economizer and the throughput of flue gases passing out of the steam generator.
  • Our invention has also for its object a plant for the execution of our method.
  • Our method includes in the usual manner one or more water heaters and an economizer inserted in parallel with the heater or heaters and a deaerator connected both with the heaters and with the economizer and, according to our invention, a gate inserted in the channel of the heater or heaters or in that of the economizer is controlled by the ratio of the throughput of water passing through the economizer and the throughput of flue gases passing out of the steam generator.
  • Our improved plant includes a turbine 1 fed with fuel at 2 and feeding with its exhaust gases the burners of a steam generator 3.
  • the exhaust gases, containing large amounts of oxygen allow the fuel introduced at 4 to burn in the steam generator.
  • the steam generator 3 is provided with a superheater 6, a water heater 7 and three economizers 8, 9 and 10.
  • the flue gases pass in succession through these various components before they are exhausted through the chimney 11.
  • the plant includes furthermore a steam turbine constituted by twov stages or groups of stages 12a and 12b.
  • the input of the first stage or group of stages is connected with the output of the superheater 6 and its output opens into the reheater 7.
  • the input of the second stage or group of stages 12b is connected with the output of said reheater 7 whereas its output is connected with the input of a pump 13 through the agency of a condenser 14.
  • the condensed water is sent into a water heater 15 fed with steam tapped off the extraction port S1 of the turbine.
  • the stream of water is divided into two streams of which one is heated in the economizer 10 while the other passes through two water heaters 16 and 17 fed with steam passing out of the extraction ports S2 and S3 of the turbine respectively.
  • the water As it passes out of the water heater 17, the water is mixed with that passing out of the economizer 10 and the mixture is directed towards a deaerator l8 fed with steam from an extraction port 84 of the turbine.
  • the division into two streams of the water passing through the economizer l and through the water heaters 16 and 17 is controlled by a' throttling of the stream of water passing out of the water heater 17, the throttling being obtained by operation of the gate 19.
  • a feed pump 20 At the output end of the deaerator 18 the entire stream of water is sucked in by a feed pump 20.
  • the pump is connected with the input of the steam generator 3 through the waterheater 21, fed with steam by an extraction port S in the turbine, and the economizer 8, the economizer 9 being inserted in parallel with the water heater 21.
  • An alternator 22 is carried by the shaft of the turbine 12a, 12b.
  • the plant is sufficiently efficient for intermediate loads only if the gas turbine l operates under full load conditions and sends into the steam generator the same throughput of exhaust gases as under full load conditions.
  • the throughput of flue gases passing through the economizer 10 remains the same under partial loads as under full load and, since the throughput of feed water decreases with the load, the temperature of the water at the output end of the economizer 10 increases when the load is reduced.
  • a mere regulation controlled by the measurement of the water temperature at the output of the economizer 10 could not operate alone since the delay between the control of the gate 19 and the tapping off of a temperature-controlled pulse at the output of the economizer 10 would be too long.
  • the gate 19 is controlled by the difference between the ratio of the throughput of water in the economizer 10 as measured at 23 and the output of flue gases as measured at 24 and a reference value.
  • a correcting signal which is proportional to the ratio between the temperature at the output of the economizer 10 as measured at 25 and a reference temperature.
  • This arrangement adapted to keep the temperature of the water at the input of the deaerator 18 at a'suitable value provides excellent efficiency of the plant under partial loads while continuously feeding the steam generator with the full output of the exhaust gases passing out of the gas turbine 1. This leads to an improved efliciency of the plant under partial loads.
  • the invention provides thus an improvement in the general efficiency of the plant under partial loads through the presence of the regulating loop which adjusts continuously the throughput of water within the economizer 10 to the value required for maintaining a predetermined water temperature at the input of the deaerator.
  • a method for operating a plant including a gas turbine, a steam generator fed by the exhaust gases from said gas turbine, a deaerator forthe water feeding said steam generator, an economizer associated with said steam generator and at least one water heater inserted in parallel with said economizer and feeding water into said deaerator, a steam turbine fed by said steam generator and out of which steam is exhausted to heat said water heaters, the steps consisting in producing signals defining the ratio of the throughputs of water in said economizer and of flue gases in said steam generator and adjusting the throughput of water in said water heaters in conformity with said signals to maintain'constancy of temperature at the input of said deaerator.
  • a method as claimed in claim 1 including the further step of applying additional correcting signals defining the actual ratio of the temperature at the output of said economizer and a reference temperature 3.
  • a plant including a gas turbine, a steam generator fed by the exhaust gases from said gas turbine, a deaerator for the water feeding said steam generator, an economizer associated with said steam generator and at least one water heater inserted in parallel with saideconomizer and feeding water into said deaerator, a steam turbine fed by said steam generator and out of which steam is exhausted to heat said water heaters,
  • a gate controlling the throughput of water in at least one of said economizer or said water heater and means defining the ratio of the throughput of water in said econornizer and the throughput of flue gases in said steam generator and controlling the operation of said gate in conformity with said ratio.
  • a plant as claimed in claim 3 including further means defining the ratio of the temperature at the output of said economizer and a reference temperature and producing a corresponding correcting signal for the operation of the gate.
