SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE OF A HEAT RECOVERY STEAM GENERATOR
A heat recovery steam generator includes a gas inlet for receiving a flow of exhaust gas from a gas turbine, a gas outlet opposite the gas inlet, at least one heat exchanger intermediate the gas inlet and the gas outlet, the heat exchanger having a plurality of heat transfer surfaces configured to transfer heat from the exhaust gas to a fluid within the heat exchanger, and a valve associated with the heat exchanger and configured to regulate a flow of the fluid through the heat exchanger. The valve is controllable from an open position to a closed position to decrease the flow of the fluid through the heat exchanger in order to effect an increase in a temperature of the heat transfer surfaces of the heat exchanger to clean the heat transfer surfaces.
Continuous filtration with backflush clearance of alternate filters
Improved steamblow commissioning of a steam plant with continuous filtration of particle laden condensate through dual strainer filters with backflush means operatable in parallel to enable isolation of one and backflushing while the other is backflushed and venting backflushed particles to waste to enable an uninterrupted commissioning process recycling steam with significant particulate burden relived by continuous cycling in alteration through the dual filers and removal of particles to waste with backflush.
RETRACTABLE WATER CANNON APPARATUS
A system for cleaning an interior of a boiler may include a lance tube operatively coupled to one or more positioning devices, and a cleaning tip coupled to one or more insertion devices. The lance tube may include a distal end from which pressurized water flows out of the lance tube into the interior of the boiler. The one or more positioning devices may be configured for moving the distal end of the lance tube in an X direction and/or a Y direction relative to a wall of the boiler to direct the flow of water from the distal end of the lance tube. The one or more insertion devices may be configured for moving the cleaning tip between a retracted position and an extended position.
Boiler ash remover based on combined flow
A boiler ash remover based on a combined flow includes a frequency-adjustable acoustic flow generator, a fixing bracket, a compressed air source, a three-way air-source electric-control valve, an air jet generator, an acoustic-jet combined transmission tube, an acoustic jet intelligent control system, and a scale measurement and control sensor. The compressed air source is connected to an inlet end of the three-way air-source electric-control valve. An outlet end of the three-way air-source electric-control valve is connected to the frequency-adjustable acoustic flow generator and an air source inlet end of the air jet generator respectively. An acoustic flow outlet end of the frequency-adjustable acoustic flow generator is connected to an inlet end of the acoustic-jet combined transmission tube. An outlet end of the acoustic-jet combined transmission tube and a jet outlet end of the air jet generator are both disposed opposite to an external heat exchange component by means of the fixing bracket. The area of an acoustic flow transmission orifice at the outlet end of the acoustic-jet combined transmission tube covers that of a jet injection orifice at the jet outlet end of the air jet generator. The acoustic jet intelligent control system is connected to an electric control device of the three-way air-source electric-control valve and the scale measurement and control sensor respectively. The scale measurement and control sensor is disposed on the external heat exchange component. The boiler ash remover has the advantages of combining a frequency-adjustable acoustic flow with an air jet and implementing acoustic jet intelligent control, and has a desirable effect of removal of scales in a hearth or a flue gas heat exchanger.
