The HP superheated steam will be supplied to the ST through the HP main steam
piping system.
The HP system is equipped with intermediate desuperheater to control the main
steam outlet temperature at the desired value in any operating condition.
The HP drum level control station is located downstream the HP economizer to
prevent from steaming in the economizer itself, for feed water low flow during the
start-up.
HP SECTION STEAM GENERATOR
The high pressure section of steam generator is located downstream the exhaust
gas inlet to the HRSG and its heating surface is made of finned tubes, crossed by
he hot gas in the following order:
-
HP Super heater 2
HP Super heater 1
HP Evaporator
HP Economizer 2
HP Economizer 1.
Water from the HP feed water line enters the HP economizer 1 and 2, in counter
flow with respect to the exhaust gas, where it is heated up to the appropriate
economizer outlet temperature and is then delivered to the HP drum.
The HP economizers 1 and 2 are equipped with manual drains and vents.
A drum level control station is located downstream the HP economizer and
consists of two main feed water control valves suitable to control the HP drum level
in the range 30-100% MCR (one in stand-by) and a low load feed water control
valve suitable for loads below 30% MCR.
Each level control valve is provided with one intercepting motorized on-off valve
upstream and one intercepting manual on-off valve downstream. Suitable manual
drains are also provided between the intercepting valves and the control valves
to empty the lines in case of control valves maintenance.
Upstream the control station a safety valve is provided.
Once water has entered the HP drum, it falls down through the down comers and
reaches the inlet header of the HP evaporator. The HP evaporator bank

generates steam heating the water with the hot gas, which passes through the
bank in cross-flow. The resulting water and steam mixture can go up through a
natural circulation loop to the evaporator outlet headers and then again to the HP
drum through some connecting pipes (called risers), uniformly distributed along
the drum length.
The boiler drum has the aim to:
-
Ensure a good mixing between inlet feed water and boiler water
The drum capacity is selected to ensure a stable and safe operation under all the
nominal operative conditions. The steam and water separation is achieved by
means of appropriate primary (cyclone type) and secondary scrubbers
(corrugated plates type). In the cyclones a mechanical centrifugal separation
occurs in the mixture of saturated water and steam coming from the risers.
Separated water falls down in the cyclones to the drum while saturated
Steam is conveyed to the secondary scrubbers where a tortuous path makes it
virtually dry.
A chemical dosing line for phosphates are foreseen in the HP drum in order to
control boiler water pH to a suitable value. A blow-down line, equipped with a
motorized on-off valve (with double manual by-pass valve) and a manual control
valve, is foreseen to control boiler water conductivity. A blow-off line, equipped
with a manual on-off valve and a motorized inching type valve, is also fitted to
control drum swelling during the start-up.
A dedicated line also ensures sampling of the blow-down water.
The HP drum is equipped with two safety valves with silencers, three level
transmitters pressure compensated for control, alarm and trip purposes, and six
skin metal temperature thermocouples, for supervision and alarm. Two hydra
step type level indicators to control room and two level gauges (local drum level

connecting piping, to be closed during the beginning of the pressurisation.
From the HP super heater 1 the steam, flowing in counter flow with respect to the
exhaust gas, enters the intermediate desuperheater, used to limit the main steam
temperature (downstream HP super heater 2) at the desired value in any
operating condition and then reaches the HP super heater 2.
Seven skin metal thermocouples are fitted at the outlet of this bank to monitor
and alarm the relevant metal temperature.
Both HP super heater 1 and 2 are equipped with motorized drain valves, to be
used during start-up or load variations to ensure no condensate remain inside the
super heater tubes.
