    4/88

    Water when heated to sub critical pressure, Temperature increases until itstarts boiling

    This temperature remain constant till all the water converted to steam

    When all liquid converted to steam than again temperature starts rising.

    Sub critical boiler typically have a mean ( Boiler Drum) to separate Steam And

    Water

    The mass of this boiler drum, which limits the rate at which the sub critical

    boiler responds to the load changes

    Too great a firing rate will result in high thermal stresses in the boiler drum

    Vertical Tube Furnace

    To provide sufficient flow per tube, constant pressure furnaces

    employ vertically oriented tubes.

    Tubes are appropriately sized and arranged in multiple passes in

    the lower furnace where the burners are located and the heat input

    is high.

    By passing the flow twice through the lower furnace periphery

    (two passes), the mass flow per tube can be kept high enough to

    ensure sufficient cooling.

    In addition, the fluid is mixed between passes to reduce the upset

    fluid temperature.

  • 8/13/2019 NTPC Sippat 3X660 MW.pdf

    16/88

    Spiral Tube Furnace

    The spiral design, on the other hand, utilizes fewer tubes to obtain

    the desired flow per tube by wrapping them around the furnace to

    create the enclosure.

    This also has the benefit of passing all tubes through all heat

    zones to maintain a nearly even fluid temperature at the outlet ofthe lower portion of the furnace.

    Because the tubes are wrapped around the furnace to form the

    enclosure, fabrication and erection are considerably morecomplicated and costly.

    48/88

    If the water system of the boiler is empty (economizer, furnace walls, separators),

    then the system is filled with approximately 10% TMCR ( 223 T/Hr) feed water flow.

    When the level in the separator reaches set-point, the WR valve will begin to open.

    When the WR valve reaches >30% open for approximately one minute, then

    increase feed water flow set-point to 30% TMCR ( approx 660 T/Hr).

    As the flow increases, WR valve will reach full open and ZR valve will begin toopen.

    The water system is considered full when:

    The separator water level remains stable for two(2) minutes

    and The WR valve is fully opened and ZR valve is >15% open for two(2)

    minutes

    After com plet ion o f Fi ll ing, the feed water f low is again adju sted to 10 % TMCR for

    49/88

    The boiler circulating pump is started following the start of a feed water

    pump and the final clean-up cycle.

    This pump circulates feed water from the evaporator outlet back to the

    economizer inlet.

    Located at the outlet of this pump is the UG valve which controls

    economizer inlet flow during the start-up phase of operation.

    Demand for this recirculation, control valve is established based on

    measured economizer inlet flow compared to a minimum boiler flow set

    point.

    Boiler Clean-up

    When the feedwater quality at the outlet of deaerator and separator is not

    within the specified limits, a feedwater clean-up recirculation via the boiler is

    necessary.

    During this time, constant feedwater flow of 10% TMCR ( 223 T/Hr) or more

    is maintained.

    Water flows through the economizer and evaporator, and discharges the

    boiler through the WR valve to the flash tank and via connecting pipe to the

    condenser.

    From the condenser, the water flows through the condensate polishing

    plant, which is in service to remove impurities ( Like Iron & its Oxide, Silica,

    Sodium and its salts ), then returns to the feed water tank.

    The recirculation is continued until the water quality is within the specified

    limits.

    64/88

    Constant Pressure Control

    Above 90% TMCR The MS Pressure remains constant at rated pressure

    The Load is controlled by throttling the steam flow

    Below 30% TMCR the MS Pressure remains constant at minimum

    Pressure

    Sliding Pressure Control

    Boiler Operate at Sliding pressure between 30% and 90% TMCR

    The Steam Pressure And Flow rate is controlled by the load directly

    CONSTANT PRESSURE VS SLIDING PRESSURE

  • 8/13/2019 NTPC Sippat 3X660 MW.pdf

    65/88

    Valve throttling losses occur because the boiler operates at constant pressure while theturbine doesn't.

    The most obvious way to avoid throttling losses therefore is to stop operating the boiler atconstant pressure!

    Instead, try to match the stop valve pressure to that existing inside the turbine at any givenload.

    Since the turbine internal pressure varies linearly with load, this means that the boilerpressure must vary with load similarly.

    This is called .sliding pressure operation..

    If the boiler pressure is matched to the pressure inside the turbine, then there are no valvethrottling losses to worry about!

    While sliding pressure is beneficial for the turbine, it can cause difficulties for the boiler.

    ADVERSE AFFECT

    As the pressure falls, the boiling temperature (boiling point) changes. The boiler is dividedinto zones in which the fluid is expected to be entirely water, mixed steam / water or drysteam. A change in the boiling point can change the conditions in each zone.

    The heat transfer coefficient in each zone depends upon the pressure. As the pressurefalls, the heat transfer coefficient reduces. This means that the steam may not reach thecorrect temperature. Also, if heat is not carried away by the steam, the boiler tubes will runhotter and may suffer damage.

    CHALLANGES

  • 8/13/2019 NTPC Sippat 3X660 MW.pdf

    66/88

    The heat transfer coefficient also depends upon the velocity of the steam in the boilertubes.

    Any change in pressure causes a change in steam density and so alters the steamvelocities and heat transfer rate in each zone.

    Pressure and temperature cause the boiler tubes to expand. If conditions change, thetubes will move. The tube supports must be capable of accommodating this movement.

    The expansion movements must not lead to adverse stresses.

    The ability to use sliding pressure operation is determined by the boiler

    Boilers can be designed to accommodate sliding pressure.

    When it is used, coal fired boilers in the 500 to 1000 MW class normally restrict slidingpressure to a limited load range, typically 70% to 100% load, to minimize the designchallenge. Below this range, the boiler is operated at a fixed pressure.

    This achieves an acceptable result because large units are normally operated at high loadfor economic reasons.

    In contrast, when sliding pressure is used in combined cycle plant, the steam pressure isvaried over a wider load range, typically 50% to 100% load or more

    ADVANTAGES

    68/88

    Temperature changes occur in the boiler and in the turbine during load changes.These can cause thermal stresses in thick walled components.

    These are especially high in the turbine during constant-pressure operation. Theytherefore limit the maximum load transient for the unit.

    By contrast, in sliding pressure operation, the temperature changes are in theevaporator section. However, the resulting thermal stresses are not limiting in theOnce through boiler due to its thermo elastic design.

    69/88

    The enthalpy increase in the boiler for preheating, evaporation and superheating

    changes with pressure.

    However, pressure is proportional to output in sliding pressure operation

    In a uniformly heated tube, the transitions from preheat to evaporation and from

    evaporation to superheat shift automatically with load such that the main steam

    temperature always remains constant.

    Sliding Pressure

  • 8/13/2019 NTPC Sippat 3X660 MW.pdf

    70/88

    At loads over 25% of rated load, the water fed by a feed-water pump flows through

    the high pressure feed-water heater, economizer ,furnace water wall, steam-water

    separator, rear-wall tubes at the ceiling, and super heaters, The super heaters steam

    produced is supplied to the turbine.

    At rated and relatively high loads the boiler is operated as a purely once through

    type. At partial loads, however, the boiler is operated by sliding the pressure as a

    function of load.
