Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to methods and devices for effectively increasing the delivery of steam in a controlled and efficient manner.
- FIG. 1 hereof shows a typical prior art arrangement 10 for a single-path series superheater. ' in a new surface 12 is added to an existing surface 14 to process the increased capacity. There is a provided a drum 16 for delivering steam to surfaces 12 and 14 and a turbine 18 for ultimately receiving steam from surfaces 12 and 14
- Table 1 predicted steam temperatures and pressures at the locations as defined by Figure 1 .
- Desired outlet pressure is 1300 psig and desired outlet temperature is 900 °F.
- the present invention is drawn to a dual-path parallel superheater includes a drum for delivering steam, a steam receiving apparatus opposite the drum for receiving steam, a first surface and a second which receive steam from the drum to provide first and second paths for superheating the steam before delivering it to the steam receiving apparatus. There are also spray attemperators along the first and second paths.
- the present invention is a system and method in which steam is divided into two paths at the drum outlet.
- One path is defined by existing superheater surface and the other by new surface overhanging the furnace.
- Each path is independently controlled with spray attemperation and independently achieves full steam temperature.
- the streams are re-combined to a single path at the superheater outlet.
- the present dual-path parallel superheater (“DPPS") allows for an increased steaming rate without requiring the replacement of the existing superheater.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a prior art single path series superheater
- FIG. 2 is a schematic view of the present dual path parallel superheater.
- FIG. 2 shows the dual path parallel superheater (“DPPS") according to the present invention, the superheater arranged such that there are two parallel paths by which steam becomes superheated.
- FIG. 2 shows the DPPS arrangement, in which a new surface 22 is added to the original surface 24 to process increased capacity.
- a drum 30 for delivering steam to surfaces 22 and 24 and a steam receiving apparatus 32 such as a turbine for ultimately receiving steam from surfaces 22 and 24.
- Table 2 below shows predicted steam temperatures and pressures at the locations A1-A4 and B1-B4, defined in FIG. 2.
- Desired outlet pressure is 1300 psig and desired outlet temperature is
- FIG. 2 reflects two paths: Path A, marked by locations A1-A4, and Path B, marked by locations B1-B4. To control steam temperature, each path has a spray attemperator 26, 28 at one interstage location.
- Path A including locations A1 -A4, is arranged in a side by side orientation in order to utilize interstage spray 26 while only requiring that one new bank be installed.
- the interstage spray attemperator 26 is located between positions A2 and A3. The attemperator 26 controls steam temperature and combats high metal temperatures inherent to low steam flow.
- the tubes in the Path A bank may be made of a steel compound such as SA213-T22, a plurality of rows of stainless steel tubes may be employed in the outlet legs. Additionally, the side by side design of the present invention minimizes the amount of new heating surface required because hot steam is reintroduced to the front of the furnace, where the flue gas is hottest.
- Path B including locations B1 -B4, reuses the unit's existing superheater surface and existing interstage spray 28 location between positions B2 and B3.
- the interstage spray 28 controls steam temperature and combats high metal temperatures inherent to low steam flow. Similar to Path A, metals in the Path B banks may be made of materials well-known to those of skill in the art. The exception is the outlet rows of the Path B primary superheater: These rows generally require replacement with stainless steel tubes. [0023] Both Path A and Path B achieve full steam temperature independently. Path A has 41°F of spray margin and Path B has a 61°F of spray margin. After being controlled to the same temperature, steam from Path A and Path B recombine to form a single outlet.
- the parallel paths A and B are designed for the same pressure drop. This can be accomplished initially by under drilling headers in the new surface or installing orificed Dutchman in the existing surface. Under drilling headers and the installation of orificed Dutchmen are techniques known to those of skill in the art. However, as the unit becomes dirty, and spray flow changes, the pressure loss in each line may change. As a means of control, a trim valve may be installed in at least one of the lines. With the ability to dynamically adjust pressure drop, steam flow is enabled to remain as designed in each path. Thereby, steam temperature and pressure can also be maintained as designed.
- the present invention offers numerous advantages.
- the present invention is for industrial boilers undergoing capacity increases.
- steaming rate increases the amount of pressure drop between the drum and superheater outlet increases. If the newly-desired steaming rate is high enough, a new superheater with additional flow paths is required to maintain outlet pressure. A new surface is required regardless of the existing superheater condition. As a result, operators are often forced to scrap tubes before they reach end-of-life, or, abandon their projects all together due to high project costs.
- the present DPPS allows for increased steam flow without replacing, existing surface.
- the present invention provides cost savings to operators through the re-use of the existing surface.
- the present invention allows satisfaction of an increased steam demand at a lower cost than traditional solutions.
- the present invention may be applied to many surface different arrangements, offering flexibility in its application.
- the present DPPS arrangement may be applied to several boiler types, including but not limited to, process recovery in the paper industry, Stirling power boilers, waste-to-energy applications, and biomass combustion technologies.
- the DPPS design provides ability to re-use existing superheater surface without lowering outlet pressure; ability to reach full steam temperature with less heating surface than prior art designs; and ability to control pressure drop across each steam path.
- Alternative methods for processing an increased flow condition include allowing outlet pressure to decrease and removing the existing superheater (tubes, headers, roof seals, etc.) and installing new surface with additional parallel flow paths.
- all or a portion of capacity increases may be derived from increases in operating temperature.
- the method described herein may further be used to maintain a desired pressure drop while maintaining a desired superheater outlet temperature. While specific embodiments and/or details of the invention have been shown and described above to illustrate the application of the principles of the invention, it is understood that this invention may be embodied as more fully described in the claims, or as otherwise known by those skilled in the art, including any and all equivalents, without departing from such principles.
