Naigur ABSTRACT: A once-through vapor generator which comprises a main flow path including inlet and outlet ends and heating surfaces between said ends. Heat recovery surfaces are positioned upstream of the main flow path inlet end, the generator further comprising a start-up bypass system which leads from the main flow path to the heat recovery surfaces. The bypass system includes first and second conduit means in parallel, the first of said conduit means including a flash tank, the second of said conduit means leading directly to said heat recovery surfaces and being valved so that the bypass flow from said main flow path is apportioned during start-up between said flash tank and said second conduit means.
LP HEATER START-UP SYSTEM The present invention relates to a once-through vapor generator, and in particular to a novel start-up bypass system for a once-through vapor generator.
A typical once-through vapor generator, of the type to which the present invention pertains, will include an inlet end and an outlet end, with a plurality of heat transfer surfaces between the ends. As a general rule, these will include an economizer pass, furnace passes defining the high temperature radiant heat transfer portion of the generator, and primary and finishing superheating passes, the outlet end of the generator being connected to a suitable point of use such as a high pressure turbine. The exhaust flow from the turbine or turbines is transmitted to condensing means, a deaerator, and from there through heat recovery surfaces to the inlet end of the generator.
During start-up of the vapor generator, the low enthalpy fluid cannot be handled by the high pressure turbine, and for this reason, the generator usually is provided with a bypass system to handle the flow until the flow is at the enthalpy level required by the turbine. It is known to transmit this flow to heat recovery surfaces where it is passed in heat exchange with the feed flow to the vapor generator inlet end. It is also known to position a flash tank or separator in the bypass system designed to separate the flow entering the bypass system into vapor and liquid streams and to transmit the vapor stream back to the main flow path for warming and rolling the high pressure turbine. Other uses are known for the bypass flow, including turbine gland sealing, and pegging the deaerator.
Depending upon the design of the vapor generator, there may be no flow during at least the initial stages of start-up through certain surfaces, for instance the reheater surfaces of the generator, and perhaps even through primary and finishing superheating surfaces. These surfaces usually are positioned in lower temperature or convection heating zones, so that during the initial stages of start-up, cooling of the surfaces is not necessary. Accordingly, the bypass system usually is connected to the main flow path upstream of at least the finishing superheater surface. This has the advantage that the vapor flow returned to the main flow path from the bypass system flash tank or separator can be subjected to further heating and superheating for earlier warming and rolling of the high pressure turbine, reducing the start-up period.
During start-up of a once-through vapor generator, it is important to control the manner in which the surfaces exposed to radiant heat transfer are cooled. As a rule of thumb, it generally is considered necessary that at least percent of the full-load flow be passed through the radiantly heated surfaces to adequately cool them."
One problem experienced with conventional bypass systems is that as the vapor generators become larger in size, and of much larger capacity, the bypass systems of necessity must be designed to handle ever greater quantities of flow; that is, the 30 percent minimum flow becomes increasingly greater. The flash tanks or separators positioned in the bypass systems also must be capable of handling the increased flows as capacities of the generators increase, and since these flash tanks or separators are heavy walled vessels designed to withstand high pressures, and temperatures, it is apparent that the separators or flash tanks become major items in the capital costs of the generator, particularly in the cost of the bypass system. It is known, to use a plurality of smaller sized flash tanks or separator vessels in place of one large very heavy walled vessel. However, whether one or several vessels are used, the expense of this part of the generator is high and can be out of proportion.
A further disadvantage experienced with conventional bypass systems concerns switch-over of flow from the bypass system to the main flow path at the point in the start-up period when the bypass system is isolated from the flow. Although the bypass systems and flash tanks or separators can be designed to handle flows up to full operating pressures and temperatures in a once-through vapor generator, which may be in the order of 3,600 lbs. per square inch and about 1, l00F., respectively, economics (as discussed above) dictate that the bypass system be designed for and utilized up to only about 1,000 lbs. per square inch, at which time or point in the start-up period the flow is switched over to the main flow path. Since the bypass system is positioned upstream of one or more of the superheating sections, for shorter start-up time, there usually is insufficient surface upstream of the bypass system to produce a fully vaporized flow at the normal switch-over pressure of about 1,000 lbs. per square inch, at this point in the start-up period. The result is that the surfaces downstream of the bypass system, which prior to switch-over, will have received a vapor flow from the flash tank or separator, will now receive a vapor-liquid mixture flow from the upstream surfaces, resulting in a temperature drop in the surfaces downstream of the bypass system and a temperature shock to these surfaces.
Elaborate control schemes have been devised to avoid this temperature shock.
It is an object of the present invention to overcome the above problems, and in particular to provide a simplified bypass system of reduced capital cost, capable of avoiding the temperature shock experienced in' conventional systems during switch-over from bypass to main path flow.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a once-through vapor generator comprising a main flow path including an inlet end, an outlet end leading to a point of use, and heating surfaces between said inlet and outlet ends. Heat recovery surfaces are positioned upstream of the inlet end, and a bypass system leads from said main flow path to said heat recovery surfaces for heat exchange therein. The bypass system includes first and second conduit means connected to said main flow path, the first of said conduit means including flash tank means (or separator), a vapor return line leading 7 recovery surfaces; said second conduit means leading directly to said heat recovery surfaces and including valve means therein so as to apportion the flow from said main flow path between said first and second conduit means.
In a preferred form of the invention, the flash tank means is exposed to main flow path pressure at all times, the first conduit means being provided with a continuously open connection between said main flow path and flash tank means.
In a further preferred embodiment in accordance with the invention, the first and second-conduit means are both connected to the main flow path at the same point upstream of at least the finishing superheating surface thereof.
As a further preferred embodiment, the flash tank means is sized to have a minimum capacity sufficient to produce the amount of vapor flow to the turbine required for warming and rolling the turbine at that point in the start-up period when the enthalpy of the flow has increased to the extent that the flash means andthe vapor return line to the main flow path. A level control in the flash tank shuts the liquid drainline from the flash tank and simultaneously opens the shutoff valve in the main flow path when the flash tank approaches or reaches dryness.
It will be apparent that the present invention offers considerable economics in capital costs of the generator, and particularly of bypass systems for large capacity generators, and further avoids the temperature shocks experienced with conventional bypass systems. In addition, the present invention offers substantial savings by reducing the complexity and number of controls required for start-up and bypass of flow during the start-up period.
The invention and other advantages thereof will become more apparent upon consideration of the following specification, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
The figure is a schematic drawing of a vapor generator flow circuit and bypass system in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to the drawing, wherein the showings are for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiment of the invention only and not for the purpose of limiting the same, the figure shows a once-through vapor generator flow circuit which comprises a main flow path A including an inlet end B and an outlet end C, between which are disposed heating surfaces including an economizer surface D, furnace passes E, primary superheating surface F and a finishing superheating surface G. A bypass system, designated by the letter H, extends between the main flow path, from a point intermediate the primary and finishing superheating surfaces to heat recovery surfaces or a heat recovery area I, the latter being disposed upstream of the inlet end B of the generator main .QQWP l .3. N.-.
The furnace passes E preferably will include a plurality of parallel vertically oriented tubes defining a rectangular furnace chamber. Headers at the bottom of the chamber will distribute the flow from the economizer surface D to at least certain ones of the parallel tubes, and the headers may be arranged with a plurality of downcomers so that the flow in the furnace section will make several passes in series before exiting to downstream surfaces for further heating. For the purpose of illustration, it will be assumed that the connections from outlet headers for the final furnace pass will direct the flow to the primary superheating surface F, which may have sections in either or both the radiant and convection portions of the generator. From the outlet of the primary superheating surface F, the flow is directed to the finishing superheater G and from there to a high pressure turbine (item 12) via outlet end C of the generator.
The arrangement of surfaces forms no part of this invention, and various arrangements are well known and within the scope of the present invention. However, for the purpose of illustrating the present invention, the primary superheater and surface upstream thereof are so located in the generator as to require cooling during start-u p, whereas the finishing superheater and surface downstream thereof can remain dry at least during the initial stages of start-up.
From the high pressure turbine 12, the exhaust flow is transmitted to a reheater 14, which will usually comprise a bank or banks of tubes in the convection area of the generator, and following reheating, the flow is transmitted to a low pressure turbine 16 and from there to a condenser 18. From the condenser, the flow may go to a suitable demineralizer 20, a plurality of low pressure heaters 22, a deaerator 24, and from there to a feed water pump 26; where it is pressurized for passage through a plurality of high pressure heaters 28 and flow into the inlet end B of the generator. The specific arrangement of components between the condenser and furnace section inlet end also is subject to design criteria, and may be varied based on these criteria. However, the above description is a representative layout of components, the high and low pressure heaters constituting the heat recovery area I of the generator. For the purpose of describing the present invention, the high pressure heaters 28 will be considered the primary heat recovery surface.
During start-up of the generator, in order to insure a minimum safe velocity of the working fluid through the furnace passes E and primary superheater F, or other upstream surface exposed to radiant heat transfer, it is necessary to have in these surfaces a through-flow quantity ofat least about 30 percent of maximum flow, towards safeguarding the surfaces against burn-out.
By the same token, this initial flow of working fluid cannot be handled by the high pressure turbine 12, and perhaps certain downstream surfaces exposed to convection heat transfer, particularly if they are in pendant form, so that a bypass must be provided connected to the main flow path downstream of the surfaces which are to be protected. In the embodiment shown the bypass system, item H, is connected to the main flow path at a point 30 downstream of the furnace passes and primary superheater and upstream of the finishing superheater; and leads to the high pressure heaters 28.
In accordance with the invention, the bypass system H comprises a first conduit 32 leading to a flash tank or separator 34,
the latter being of known design, and a second conduit 33 which bypasses the flash tank or separator. Turning first to the conduit 32, the flash tank or separator preferably is provided with a liquid space 36 and a vapor space 38, the flow of fluid into the flash tank flashing into separate vapor and liquid phases. From the liquid area of the flash tank, a suitable liquid drain line 40 is provided leading to the high pressure heaters 28, and from the vapor space of the flash tank, a suitable vapor line 42 is provided connected to the main flow path A at a point 44 downstream of the first bypass point of connection 30, but still upstream of the finishing superheater.
Preferably shut-off valves 46 are provided in the main flow path A between the first and second points of connection, 30 and 44, so that the fluid flow in the main flow path from the furnace and primary superheating surfaces can be directed alternatively through the conduits 32 and 33, or directly to the finishing superheater G. V
The vapor line 42 leading from the flash tank to the main flow path is suitably valved with a shut-off valve 48 to control or terminate the flow in this conduit, as is the liquid drain line rehea -535. 5? 2-.
As shown, the first cdnduiiazi diiigiSriiihejiiiafri 68;?
path to the flash tank preferably is unvalved or continuously open, so that the flash tank is exposed throughout operaiion of i the generator to generator pressures. it will be apparent that among other aspects of the invention, thisconstitutes a substantial savings in the cost of the bypass system, i.e., eliminating the cost of a normally critical valve and'controls associated es xitht m.

The second (bypass or branch) conduit 33 leads from the first conduit 32 around the flash tank 34 to the drain line 40, connected to the latter at a point of connection 50 which is on the heat recovery surface side of drain line valve 49. Flow into the second conduit 33 is directly into the high pressure heaters or heat recovery surface I. In the second (bypass) conduit 33,v flow control valve 54 is positioned for shut-off and control of the flow therein.

Further aspects of the start-up system of the present invention require brief mention. Leading from the flash tank vapor ,space in accordance with cpnventjonal practice are branch J valved vapor conduits 60 to the deaerator and 6210 the turbine g' laiid 'se'alE'Tln addition, main pressure reducing'valvesfid are employed, in this example located in the main flow path between the furnace circuits E and the primary superheater F, designed to reduce the pressure of the flow during the start-up period downstream of the furnace circuitry, and maintain the radiantly heated furnace circuitry at high pressure. This optimizes the distribution of flow in the furnace circuitry for optimum cooling of the same, and at the same time permits a transfer of heat in the primary superheater at a lower pressure. It also permits flashing of the flow into the flash tank.
started (in the start-up period) directing a flow at full furnace pressure into the furnace passes E, and the generator is fired at a predetermined firing rate. The flow from the furnace passes is reduced in pressure by pressure reducing valves 64 to a predetermined pressure, perhaps 1,200 psi, and then is further heated in the primary superheater F at the lower pressure. Shut-off valves 46 in the main flow path are closed and the flow is diverted to the bypass first and second conduits 32, 33 apportioned between the conduits as desired (by means of valves 54, 48, 49) and depending upon design factors. *"wim'e the new is" in a intimate a 'tfiebuaeihaa'ftwgamary superheater, apportioning the flow is accomplished by suitably adjusting the valve 54 in the second conduit 33 relative to the position of the drain line valve 49 from the flash tank, the latter being controlled via control means 56 by the level of the liquid in the flash tank. Vapor line valve 48 is closed.
Ultimately enough vapor is generated in the flash tank 34 to l roll the turbine, and at this point, the pressure reducing valves 64 can be opened increasing the pressure downstream of furnace passes to full load pressure; also increasing the pressure in the flash tank to full load pressure.
This ramps the turbine inlet pressure up to full operating pressure, during which the turbine is loaded.
Ramping of the pressure may be up to about to percent loading or some other value, so that only about 5 to 15 percent of the flow, or some other fraction of the full load flow, need be during this start-up period through the flash tank to the turbine inlet end, the remainder of the 30 percent flow being through the second conduit to the heat recovery area 1.
Initially during opening of the pressure reducing valve 64 and ramping of the pressure at the turbine inlet end, the flow from the primary superheater is in a vapor and liquid state, separation of the flow into vapor and liquid phases occurring in both the flash tank and high pressure heaters. The latter may have a design as set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 3,183,896, Lytle et al., assigned to assignees of the present application for accomplishing this separation.
As the enthalpy of the flow increases, the flash tank 34 goes to dryness. At this point the shut-off valve 46 in the main flow path is manually or automatically gradually opened and at the same time the first and second conduit valves 48, 49, and 54 respectively are closed so that the total start-up flow is directly to the finishing superheater and turbine inlet. Not only does this remove the bypass system from operation, but it also increases the loading on the turbine.
Advantages of the invention should now be apparent.
Conventionally, the flash tank must be sized to handle the full bypass flow from the main flow path, which could amount to 30- percent of maximum flow. As generator capacities increase, immense flash tanks may be required; or alternatively, banks of smaller sized flash tanks. in any event, substantial capital outlays for equipment become necessary. Valves and connections to the flash tank must be sized to handle the large flows, further contributing to the capital outlay.
in contrast thereto, the present invention provides a start-up system wherein the flash tank need be sized only to accommodate a relatively small through-flow quantity, for instance 5 to 15 percent of through-flow, or that amount required for warming and rolling the turbine, the remainder of the bypass flow being distributed through the second conduit 33 to the high pressure heaters or heat recovery surfaces.
It is also apparent that the present invention avoids the shock to the finishing superheater conventionally experienced with start-up systems, in that switch-over to the main flow path is delayed until a vapor state exists at the outlet end of the primary superheater. This can be at full load pressure and therefor any point in the start-up period since the flash tank being sized at about one-third or less of normal capacity, can economically be designed to-operate at full load pressure. Accordingly a safe switch-over to main path flow is accomplished, at any desired point in the start-up period, without delaying the loading of the turbine.
in addition, the first conduit to the flash tank can be unvalved, so that the flash tank is exposed throughout operation to full generator pressure. This constitutes an obvious savings in the cost of the generator by eliminating an expensive valve and controls associated therewith.
With respect to controls, it should also be apparent that the invention offers a substantially simplified start-up system requiring fewer and less complicated controls.
Although the invention has been described with respect to a specific embodiment, variations and other advantages within the scope of the following claims will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
