Transition castings are disclosed which comprise a steam tube and a water tube, which are joined together by membranes. A heat transfer fin extends from the membrane and abuts the water tube. The steam tube bends such that an upper end is on one side of the water tube, and a lower end is on an opposite side of the water tube. The transition castings are used in a transition section of a boiler in which the furnace is divided into a lower furnace and an upper furnace. The lower furnace uses water-cooled membrane walls, while the upper furnace uses steam-cooled membrane walls that act as superheating surfaces. The transition casting joins the lower furnace and the upper furnace together.

A flash boiler has a water jacket and a vertically oriented interior passage which includes water tubes or superheating tubes, or both. The interior passage is a hyperboloid surface to induce draft. Water tubes and superheating tubes can be staggered so as to create a helical path for flue gas passing through the boiler. Water tubes and superheating tubes may include, internally or externally or both, heat transfer aids such as pins, fins or vanes, which may also be helices.

The present provides a waste heat boiler and a hammering device, a heating tube mounting structure thereof. The waste heat boiler which a boiler, heating tubes provided in the boiler and a hammering device; the boiler is provided with an exhaust gas inlet and an exhaust gas outlet; the heating tubes are in a horizontal grid tube arrangement; a surface of the heating tubes is provided with fins, and the heating tubes are connected to support assemblies in an unfixed way.

A heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) includes: a plurality of vertically-aligned HRSG tubes; and a plurality of stepped tube restraints coupled to the plurality of vertically aligned HRSG tubes. Each stepped tube restraint includes a plurality of tube restraints. The plurality of tube restraints are arranged in an array such that each successive tube restrain is vertically higher than and axially aft of an adjacent tube restraint.

A steam generator for generating a superheated fluid from a working fluid using a stream of heated gas, the steam generator comprising: a housing, which defines a gas flow path having an inlet at one, upstream end thereof into which a stream of heated gas is delivered and an outlet at the other, downstream end thereof; and a steam generation module which is disposed within the gas flow path of the housing, the steam generation module comprising a heat exchanger which receives a working fluid and is operative to raise the temperature of the working fluid to provide a saturated fluid, and a superheater which receives the saturated fluid from the heat exchanger and is operative to raise the temperature of the saturated fluid and provide a supersaturated fluid.

Herein a boiler tube (2) having a longitudinal extension (L) and comprising radially inner and outer tubular portions (4, 6) extending along at least a first part (5) of the longitudinal extension (L). The radially outer tubular portion (6) is metallurgically bonded to the radially inner tubular portion (4). A sensor space (8) is arranged between the radially inner tubular portion (4) and the radially outer tubular portion (6), wherein the sensor space (8) is configured to accommodate a sensor arranged to detect a physical property of the radially outer tubular portion (6). A duct (10) is connected to the sensor space (8) and extends through the radially outer tubular portion (6) to an exit portion (12) of a surface of the radially outer tubular portion (6). The radially inner and outer tubular portions comprise materials of different chemical composition. Also, a boiler tube unit and a furnace are disclosed herein.

A heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) includes: a plurality of vertically-aligned HRSG tubes; and a plurality of stepped tube restraints coupled to the plurality of vertically aligned HRSG tubes. Each stepped tube restraint includes a plurality of tube restraints. The plurality of tube restraints are arranged in an array such that each successive tube restrain is vertically higher than and axially aft of an adjacent tube restraint.

A heat exchanger includes a metal tube and a composite polymer fin in thermal contact with the metal tube. The fin is formed of a polymer and a thermally conductive filler such that the fin has a thermal conductivity greater than or equal to 0.5 Watts per meter Kelvin.

An exhaust gas flow regulator and a heat recovery steam generator including the same are provided. The exhaust gas flow regulator includes a plurality of first tubes spaced apart from each other in a vertical direction, a support plate disposed in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the first tubes and through which the plurality of first tubes penetrates, and a second tube disposed at one or both ends of the support plate so as to be coupled to the support plate and extending parallel to the first tubes, wherein the second tube is provided with a guide plate disposed to redirect exhaust gases flowing adjacent to the second tube toward the first tube.

A flash boiler has a water jacket and a vertically oriented interior passage which includes water tubes or superheating tubes, or both. The interior passage is a hyperboloid surface to induce draft. Water tubes and superheating tubes can be staggered so as to create a helical path for flue gas passing through the boiler. Water tubes and superheating tubes may include, internally or externally or both, heat transfer aids such as pins, fins or vanes, which may also be helicies.
