摘要:
Systems and methods axe disclosed herein that generally involve a double pinch criterion for optimization of regenerative Rankine cycles. In some embodiments, operating variables such as bleed extraction pressure and bleed flow rate are selected such that a double pinch is obtained in a feedwater heater, thereby improving the efficiency of the Rankine cycle. In particular, a first pinch point is obtained at the onset of condensation of the bleed and a second pinch point is obtained at the exit of the bleed from the feedwater heater. The minimal approach temperature at the first pinch point can be approximately equal to the minimal approach temperature at the second pinch point. Systems that employ regenerative Rankine cycles, methods of operating such systems, and methods of optimizing the operation of such systems are disclosed herein in connection with the double pinch criterion.

摘要:
This invention relates to a method and apparatus for increasing the final feedwater temperature associated with a regenerative Rankine cycle, said cycle commonly used in thermal systems such as conventional power plants, whose steam generators are fired with a fossil fuel and whose regenerative Rankine cycle employs a reheating of the working fluid. This invention involves the placement of an Exergetic Heater System in the feedwater path of the regenerative Rankine cycle. The Exergetic Heater System conditions and heats feedwater such that the temperature of the cycle's final feedwater as it enters the steam generator has reached a desired value. The Exergetic Heater System receives its driving steam from an Intermediate Pressure turbine extraction.

A system for monitoring abnormalities in a heat exchanger having heat-exchange tubes for heating feed water with extraction steam, an inlet and an outlet for the feed water, and a drain cooling zone, includes a process input, an apparatus for calculating the differential pressure between the feed water pressures at the inlet and outlet, an apparatus for computing the heat exchanging performance of the heat exchanger, and judgement apparatus for monitoring the differential pressure and the heat exchanging performance, thereby judging the presence or absence of scale accretion within the heat exchanger end, whenever scale accretion is present, judging the specific locations of the scale accretion in the inner and outer surfaces of the heat-exchange tubes, fluid flow distribution passageways and devices other than the heat-exchange tubes.
摘要:
A thermodynamic method is described and claimed for improving the quality of wet steam produced by conventional and once through type boilers. Moisture entrained with such steam is first separated in a steam-water separation vessel. The separated moisture is thereafter vaporized by pressure reduction and flashed to form lower pressure steam and condensate containing dissolved solids. The condensate is utilized to preheat fresh boiler feedwater. The lower pressure steam is condensed and supplements the boiler feedwater to form a hotter combined net feedwater stream containing reduced quantities of dissolved solids. Practice of the method, in association with commercially available boilers producing saturated to moderately superheated steam at temperatures of up to about 970.degree. F. and steam pressures of up to about 2,900 psig, has resulted in increases in the quality of the steam produced from about 70% to about 99% (substantially dry steam). Further, the method includes heating of the fresh boiler feedwater from ambient temperature to about 200.degree. F. without the utilization of additional fuel by the boiler system. Also, less fresh boiler feedwater is required to produce the same net process heating value of the steam product.

Disclosed is a gas turbine and pressurized water reactor steam turbine combined circulation system, using a heavy duty gas turbine and a pressurized water reactor steam turbine to form a combined circulation system. Heat of the tail gas of the gas turbine is utilized to raise the temperature of a secondary circuit main steam from 272.8° C., and the temperature of the secondary circuit main steam slides between 272.8° C. and 630° C. according to different pressurized water reactor steam yields and different input numbers and loads of the heavy duty gas turbine. The system has a higher heat efficiency than that of the pressurized water reactor steam turbines in the prior art; and as for the electric quantity additionally generated by gas, the heat efficiency of the system is also significantly higher than that of gas-steam combined circulation in the prior art.

A heating system for a thermal electric power station water circuit includes an extraction system for extracting water from a condenser and a first set of heaters including a first water inlet fed with a first fraction of a flow coming from the extraction system, and a input for heating the extracted water. A second set of heaters includes a heater arranged in series with the extracted-water inlet of the first set, and a steam input for heating the extracted water. A condensate cooler includes a first water inlet fed by a condensate outlet of the second set of heaters, a second water inlet fed with a complementary fraction of the extracted-water flow, a first outlet for cooled condensate to be reinjected into the condenser, and a second outlet for heated water so that water leaving the first set of heaters is mixable with water from the second outlet.

The feedwater preheating system includes a feedwater tank and a constant volume recirculation pump. The feedwater tank is adapted to store the feedwater. The feedwater tank includes feed and return lines. The feed line is adapted to feed the feedwater to the HRSG, and the return line enables returning of the feedwater into the feedwater tank. The return line precludes a control valve, and is configured to the feedwater tank to reduce component loss while feedwater recirculation. The constant volume recirculation pump is configured in the feed line to recirculate the feedwater between the HRSG and the feedwater tank. The pump is capable of recirculating the feedwater at constant speed and volume to reduce heat loss while feedwater recirculation, as against the prior art feedwater preheating systems.
