Super heaters

Super heater heats the high-pressure steam from itssaturation temperature to a higher specified

temperature.

Super heaters are often divided into more than one

stage.

of the furnace, where the gas

temperature is high.

mm.

The platens are usually widely spaced, S1 = 500 900 mm.

15 35.

Design Constraints: Max. allowable steam flow rates.

Convective super heaters are vertical

type (Pendant ) or horizontal types.

The Pendant SH is always arranged

in the horizontal crossover duct.

Pendant SH tubes are widely spaceddue to high temperature and ash is

soft.

Transverse pitch : S1/d > 4.5

Longitudinal pitch : S2/d > 3.5.

The outside tube diameter : 32 51mm

Tube thickness : 3 7mm

16/38


The horizontal SH are located in the back pass.

The tubes are arranged in the in-line configuration.

The tube thickness of the tube is 3 7 mm.

The transverse pitch : S1/d = 2 3.

The longitudinal pitch :S2/d = 1.6 2.5.

The tubes are arranged in multiple parallel sets.

The desired velocity depends on the type of SH and operating steam

pressures. The outside tube diameter : 32 51mm

Basically the control of temperature is to protect thesuperheater by preventing the metal temperatures reaching adangerously high level reducing mechanical strength andleading to failure. Water flowing through a tube conducts heataway much more effectively than steam due to its higherspecific heat capacity. This means that tubes carrying waterhave a metal temperature much closer to the fluid passingthrough it.

For superheat temperatures alloys of chrome molybdenumsteels are used (upto 560oC), difficulties in welding means

that there use is restricted to only within the highesttemperature zone and a transition piece fitted to connect toremaining mild steel tubing.

Superheat temperature control is therefore fitted to ensuresuperheat temperature does not exceed design limits.


21/38


The preferred location ofdesuperheater, especially fortemperature above 450 deg C isbetween sections of superheater. Thesteam is first passed through a

primary superheater where it is raisedto intermediate temperature. It is thenpassed through the desuperheater andits temperature reduction is controlledso that, after continuing through thesecondary or final stage of the

superheater, the required constantconditions are maintained at theoutlet.

The arrangement and construction of a re-

heater is similar to that of a super-heater. In

large modern boiler plant, the reheat sections

are mixed equally with super-heater sections.


27/38


The pressure drop inside re-heater tubes has an importantadverse effect on the efficiency of turbine.

Pressure drop through the re-heater should be kept as low aspossible.

The tube diameter : 42 60mm.

The design is similar to convective super-heaters.

Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient : 90 110 W/m2 K.

Device attached to a boiler for

automatically relieving the pressure

of steam before it becomes great

enough to cause bursting. Thecommon spring-loaded type is held

closed by a spring designed to open

the valve when the internal

pressure reaches a point in excess

of the calculated safe load of theboiler. Safety valves are installed on

boilers according to strict safety

norms and IBR recommendation

WHY SUPERCRITICAL

PRESSURE Increasing the pressure will mean increase in saturation

temperature at which steam evaporates thus increasing

the average temperature of heat addition.

A Boiler operating at a pressure above critical point is

called SUPERCRITICAL BOILER

A point where boiling water and dry saturated lines

meet so that associated latent heat is zero, this point iscalled Critical Point.


33/38


CRITICAL CONDITION

Definition

CRITICAL is a thermodynamic expressiondescribing the state of a substance beyond

which there is no clear distinction between theliquid and gaseous phase.

The critical pressure & temperature for water are

Pressure = 225.56 Kg / cm2

Temperature = 374.15 C

SUPERCRITICAL BOILER

Supercritical pressure boiler has no drum and heat absorbing

surface being, in effect, one continuous tube, hence called

once through Supercritical pressure boilers.

The water in boiler is pressurized by Boiler Feed Pump, sensibleheat is added in feed heaters, economizer and furnace tubes,

until water attains saturation temperature and flashes

instantaneously to dry saturated steam and super heating

commences.
