The present study has been carried out to analyze the flow characteristics in the inlet expasion duct of a heat recovery steam generator by using numerical flow analysis. The inlet of HRSG corresponds the outlet of gas turbine exit and the flow after gas turbine has strong swirl flow and turbulence. The inlet flow condition of HRSG should be included the exit flow characteristics of gas turbine. The present numerical analysis adopted the flow analysis result of gas turbine exit flow as a inlet flow condition of HRSG analysis. Because the flow characteristics in the inlet duct of the tube bank is strongly related to the performance of a HRSG, it is most important for the optimal design of HGSG to understanding the flow phenomena in the inlet duct of HRSG. From the present study, the position of breakpoint in the inlet expansion duct should be lower than the reference breakpoint position for the optimal flow uniformity before the tube bank.

The purpose of this study is to apprehend the behavior of exhaust gas flow from gas turbine during part load operation in Heat Recovery Steam Generator. As a first step of this work, internal flow characteristics according to HRSG types were examined by CFD analysis. Next step, tube temperature according to gas turbine 53% and 100% load conditions were calculated by results of CFD and those were compared with temperature data gathered from real plant. Finally, thermal performance due to part load operation was calculated to estimate the influence of heat transfer in superheater. In addition, new type of device is suggested to eliminate the uneven temperature distribution of tubes during part load operation.

석탄가스화 복합발전 플랜트의 부속공정인 중기터빈 시스템에 대한 공정 전산해석을 상용 공정해석 소프트웨어인 ASPEN 코드를 이용하여 수행하였다. 폐열회수보일러에서 생성되는 고압증기 조건을 2400psig로 채택하였으며, 폐열회수보일러의 열교환기 배열 및 생성증기의 조건에 따른 증기터빈 시스템의 성능변화를 고찰하였다. 페열회수보일러에서의 열교환기 배열, 생성중기 조건 및 공급수 예열 방법에 따라 증기터빈 시스템의 성능이 변화하게 되므로 이의 정확한 이해를 통하여 증기터빈 시스템의 최적화를 도모할 수 있다.

A heat recovery steam generator consists of inlet expansion duct and heat transfer tube bank modules. For the enhancement of heat transfer in the tube bank modules, the flow should be uniform before the 1st heat transfer tube bank module. The present study has been carried out to analyze the flow characteristics in the inlet expansion duct of a heat recovery steam generator by using numerical flow analysis. The aim of the present study is to establish the proper heat transfer mechanism in the heat transfer tube bank modules by the comparison of the heat transfer models, the case with the constant heat loss per unit volume and the case with heat loss by using inner and outer convective heat transfer coefficient of heat transfer tube. From the present research, it could be seen that the heat transfer mechanism with using inner and outer convective heat transfer coefficient derives more proper temperature distribution results and the acceptance criteria of the temperature distribution within ${\pm}10^{\circ}C$ before SCR is satisfied with using this heat transfer mechanism.

This study was conducted on combined cycle power plant consisting of HRSG with integral deaerator type to avoid tube failures of low pressure evaporator tubes. Based on the observation of pH variation at the discharge of boiler feed water pump by continuous pH measurement for a period of time, it was identified that pH of feed water is getting reduced as ammonia is distributed into vapor and liquid depending on the distribution ratio of ammonia in the LP drum after the deaerator. To solve this problem, the counterplan was prepared by reexamination of ammonia injection point and quantity. In conclusion, it was accomplished that 9.2~9.6 is the optimized pH range for boiler feed water by arranging additional piping for ammonia to inject directly to LP drum.

A parallel slide gate valve (PSGV) is located between the heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) and the steam turbine in a combined cycle power plant (CCPP). It is used to control the flow of steam and runs with repetitive operations such as startups, load changes, and shutdowns during its operation period. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the fatigue damage and the structural integrity under a large compressive thermal stress due to the temperature difference through the valve wall thickness during the startup operations. In this paper, the thermal-structural analysis and the fatigue life evaluation of a 16-inch PSGV, which is installed on the HP steam line, is performed according to the fatigue life assessment method described in the ASME B&PVC VIII-2; the method uses the equivalent stress from the elastic stress analysis.

HRSG, which is one of main components of the combined cycle power plant,is composed of an inlet duct, a main body and casing, an outlet duct and a stack. It is important to design HRSG wihtin the allowable noise limit. For this purpose, it is necessary to analyze and predict the noise reduction and radiation at HRSG. In this paper, the technology for the noise prediction at each part of HRSG has been based on the empirical and field data, and also the HRSG noise prediction program has been developed. In order to verify the developed technology and program a field test is conducted. The results of noise prediction show good agreement with the measured.

The purpose of this study is not only to evaluate the stress behavior of tubes in superheater in HRSG during the load change operation but also to find root causes of failure from stress behavior. Firstly, temperature during operation was collected to perform stress analysis from actual HRSG. Part load and full load stress analysis which can be represented as the whole load change operations were performed using commercial finite element software. The possibility that can lead to tubes failure is found by stress analysis and its results is compared with metallurgical mircrostructure of failed tube which was taken from actual HRSG.
