The present application provides a combined cycle system. The combined cycle system may include a heat recovery steam generator, a feedwater source positioned upstream of the heat recovery steam generator, a desuperheater positioned downstream of the heat recovery steam generator, a first extraction from the heat recovery steam generator to the desuperheater, and a second extraction from upstream of the heat recovery steam generator to the desuperheater.

A multi-cone, multi-stage spray nozzle includes a nozzle body, a valve stem with a first valve head, and a second valve head attached to the first valve head. The first valve stem is biased into a closed position against a valve seat of the nozzle body by a bias device. The second valve head is continuously open. Upon the application of a first fluid pressure, which is less than a threshold fluid pressure, the bias device maintains the valve stem in the closed position while the second valve head is continuously open. And upon the application of a second fluid pressure, which is at least as great as the threshold fluid pressure, the valve stem moves to an open position while the second valve head remains continuously open.

A multi-cone, multi-stage spray nozzle includes a nozzle body and outer and inner valve stems. The nozzle body defines an outer valve seat disposed at its distal end. The outer valve stem is slidably disposed in the nozzle body. The inner valve stem is slidably disposed in the outer valve stem. The inner valve stem occupies an open position and the outer valve stem occupies a closed position upon the application of a first pressure on the distal ends of the inner and outer valve stems. And, the inner and outer valve stems both occupy open positions upon the application of a second pressure that is greater than the first pressure on the distal ends of the inner and outer valve stems.

The purpose of the present invention is to decrease the loss of energy of flue gas when superheated steam is cooled and prevent heat efficiency from being decreased. A boiler is provided with: economizers (a medium-pressure economizer (13) and a high-pressure secondary economizer (18)) which heat water supplied by water supply pumps (a medium-pressure water supply pump (27) and a high-pressure water supply pump (28)); evaporators (a medium-pressure evaporator (16) and a high-pressure evaporator (21)) which evaporate the water that is heated by the economizers; and cooling devices (a medium-pressure system and a high-pressure system) which mix water, as a coolant, which has passed through the economizers via the water supply pumps with steam.

Provided is an inexpensive and simple solar power system. A solar power system according to the present invention includes: a heat collection apparatus (2, 4); a steam turbine (5), a power generator (16); a superheated steam supply line which supplies the steam turbine with superheated steam generated by the heat collection apparatus; a water supply line which condenses the steam expelled from the steam turbine into water and supplies the condensed water to the heat collection apparatus; a heat storage device (8) which has a heat storage medium; a first line which branches from the superheated steam supply line and which supplies the heat storage device with the superheated steam flowing through the superheated steam supply line; a second line which branches from the water supply line and which supplies the heat storage device with the water flowing through the water supply line; and a third line which supplies the steam turbine with superheated steam generated by the heat storage device. The heat storage device stores the heat of the superheated steam which has flowed through the first line in the heat storage medium, and heats the water which has flowed through the second line with the heat storage medium to thereby generate the superheated steam.

A steam assisted ring style desuperheater includes a ring body defining an axial flow path and one or more spray nozzles extending through a wall of the ring body. Each of the nozzles is connected to a separate cooling water manifold and atomizing steam manifold to conduct cooling water and atomizing steam separate from each other through the spray nozzle to an injection point. An atomizing head of each nozzle combines the cooling water and atomizing steam to form a spraywater cloud that is injected radially into the axial flow path. The spray nozzles include one or more flow passage inserts that define separate first and second fluid flow paths for conducting the cooling water and the atomizing steam separately through the spray nozzle.

A steam conditioning system for discharging bypass steam into a condenser of a steam powered generating plant and other uses. The system includes a steam conditioning device comprising an inner evaporative core and an outer shell. The core may be formed of a tubular piping section disposed at least partially inside the outer shell forming an annular space therebetween. An inlet end of the core receives steam from a piping header fluidly connected to an upstream desuperheating pressure reducing station which injects liquid coolant into the steam stream. Steam discharges through the core outlet end into the outer shell, reverses direction, and flows into the condenser. In one embodiment, the steam conditioning device may be disposed inside the dome of the condenser except for the inlet end. The device intends to increase flow residence time to evaporate entrained carryover coolant droplets in the incoming steam before release to the condenser.
