Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fossil-fired steam generator with a gas flue, the peripheral wall of which is formed from tubes which are connected to one another in a gas-tight manner and which are arranged essentially vertically and through which the medium can flow in parallel from bottom to top.
  • the surrounding wall is often exposed to different levels of heating from heating surface element to heating surface element.
  • the heating is usually much stronger than in the upper part.
  • additional heat exchanger surfaces are often arranged in this upper part, which shield the peripheral wall against excessive heating, in particular by heat radiation.
  • the peripheral wall of the vertical throttle cable serves only in the lower part as an evaporator heating surface.
  • the steam - or the water-steam mixture at partial load - is then fed to a downstream convection evaporator.
  • the upper part of the surrounding wall is formed from pipes serving as superheater heating surfaces. Since only a part of the surrounding wall is used as an evaporator surface, only a relatively small temperature difference occurs at the outlet of these tubes in the case of multiple heating or above-average heating of individual tubes. An uneven distribution of the water-steam mixture on the tubes of the convection evaporator downstream of the evaporator heating surface can be controlled due to the low heating of this evaporator.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of developing a steam generator of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that, on the one hand, sufficient cooling of the pipes of the surrounding wall is ensured, and on the other hand, additional heating of individual pipes does not result in inadmissible temperature differences between the individual ones Pipes leads. This should be achieved at low cost.
  • this object is achieved in that the tubes in a first part of the throttle cable located below have a larger inner diameter than the tubes in a second part of the throttle cable lying above them.
  • the first part of the throttle cable which is also referred to below as the first section of the surrounding wall, is characterized by very high heat flow densities and good internal heat transfer in the pipes and is e.g. in the burner area.
  • the overlying second part of the throttle cable which is also referred to below as the second section of the surrounding wall, is likewise distinguished by high heat flow densities, but a deteriorated internal heat transfer in the pipes and is e.g. in the so-called gas jet room of the steam generator, which connects to the burner area.
  • the first section of the surrounding wall expediently comprises, to improve the internal heat transfer, internally finned tubes arranged vertically. These are preferably dimensioned such that the average mass flow density in the tubes at full load is preferably less than 1000 kg / m 2 s.
  • the steam has an average steam content at the outlet of the first section, which is between 0.8 and 0.95 at a partial load of about 40%. With these prerequisites, the flow conditions are so favorable that additional heating of individual pipes increases Throughput through these pipes leads so that only small temperature differences occur at the outlet of the pipes.
  • the mass flow density is preferably increased to more than 1000 kg / m 2 s. Therefore, the inside diameter of the pipes at the transition from the first to the second section is reduced while maintaining the same number of parallel pipes or pipe divisions. By reducing the inside diameter, reliable pipe cooling is ensured even with a high heat flow density in the second section.
  • the tubes with a smaller inner diameter of the second section are advantageously connected directly to the tubes of larger inner diameter of the first section, so that the tubes of the two sections merge directly into one another.
  • the tubes of the second section can also have internal ribbing at least in the part through which flow first.
  • Escaping is essentially generated by friction due to high steam speeds.
  • a high drop in frictional pressure has the effect that the mass flow is either reduced by more heated pipes, or else increases less compared to the heating.
  • a pressure compensation vessel in an area in which the friction pressure drop increases sharply due to the formation of steam, the system in front of the pressure compensation vessel can adapt to the heating differences almost ideally, i.e. stronger heating results in an approximately equally stronger mass flow. Therefore, in a practical embodiment, a pressure compensation tube is connected to each tube in the upper half of the first part of the throttle cable, for example in the vicinity of the transition from the first to the second section.
  • the pressure compensation tubes are expediently led to one or more pressure compensation containers provided outside the vertical gas flue.
  • the pressure equalization largely decouples the two sections on the flow side.
  • the relatively high friction pressure loss in the second section due to the comparatively large mass flow density therefore has no effect on the favorable flow conditions in the first section. This means that no temperature imbalances (temperature drop above the pipe cross-section) can occur due to additional heating at the outlet of the first section.
  • the direct transition of the pipes from the first section to the pipes from the second section reliably prevents water-steam separation in the wet steam area.
  • the tubes have a larger inner diameter in a third upper part of the gas flue than in the second part of the gas flap underneath.
  • This third part of the throttle cable which is also referred to below as the third section of the surrounding wall, is characterized by a low heat flow density and a moderate internal heat transfer in the pipes and is located in the so-called convection cable of the steam generator,
  • the surrounding wall reduces the mass flow density due to the low heat flow density prevailing there compared to that in the second section in order to keep the friction pressure loss in the pipes low.
  • the tubes can be designed without internal fins.
  • the heat flow density drops so far that in the third part of the gas cable, ie in the third section of the peripheral wall, half the number of tubes of the second part of the gas cable, ie the second section of the peripheral wall, is sufficient.
  • the number of tubes in the third section is halved in that two tubes each of the second part of the throttle cable open into a jointly assigned tube of the third part of the gas cable.
  • Figure 2 shows a detail II of Figure 1 on a larger scale with tubes with different inner diameters in different sections.
  • the vertical throttle cable of the steam generator 1 according to FIG. 1 with a rectangular cross section is formed by a surrounding wall 2 which merges into a funnel-shaped base 3 at the lower end of the gas cable.
  • the tubes 4 of the surrounding wall 2 are on their long sides - e.g. via fins 9 ( Figure 2) - gas-tightly connected to each other, e.g. welded.
  • the bottom 3 comprises a discharge opening 3a for ashes, not shown in detail.
  • a lower or first part 5 of the throttle cable ie in a first section of the surrounding wall 2, for example four burners for a fossil fuel are each installed in an opening 6 in the surrounding wall 2.
  • opening 6 tubes 4 of the surrounding wall 2 are curved; they run on the outside of the vertical throttle cable. Similar openings can also be formed, for example, for air nozzles or flue gas nozzles.
  • a second part 7 of the throttle cable i.e. a second section of the surrounding wall 2 over which a third or upper part 8 of the throttle cable, i.e. a third section of the peripheral wall 2 is provided.
  • the first section 5 in the burner area is distinguished by a very high heat flow density and good internal heat transfer in the tubes 4.
  • the second section 7 is located in the gas jet chamber and is also distinguished by a high heat flow density, but also by a lower, deteriorated internal heat transfer in the tubes 4.
  • the third section 8 is located in the convection train and is characterized by a low heat current density and a moderate internal heat transfer in the tubes 4. This third section 8 is present, in particular, in the case of a steam generator in a pull-in construction.
  • the medium side i.e. of water or a water-steam mixture, through which tubes 4 of the surrounding wall 2 flow in parallel from bottom to top are connected with their inlet ends to an inlet header 11 and with their outlet ends to an outlet header 12.
  • the inlet header 11 and the outlet header 12 are located outside the throttle cable and are e.g. each formed by an annular tube.
  • the inlet header 11 is connected via a line 13 and a header 14 to the outlet of a high-pressure preheater or economizer 15.
  • the heating surface of the economizer 15 lies in the third section 8 of the surrounding wall 2 covered space.
  • the economizer 15 is connected on the input side to the water / steam circuit of a steam turbine via a collector 16 during the operation of the steam generator 1,
  • the outlet header 12 is connected to a high-pressure superheater 19 via a water-steam separating vessel 17 and a line 18.
  • the high-pressure superheater 19 is arranged in the region of the second section 7 of the surrounding wall 2. It is connected on the output side to a high-pressure part of the steam turbine via a collector 20 during operation. In the area of the second section 7 there is also an intermediate superheater 21 which is connected via collectors 22, 23 between the high-pressure part and a medium-pressure part of the steam turbine. Water occurring in the water-steam separating vessel 17 is discharged via a line 24.
  • a pressure compensation vessel 26 is provided outside the throttle cable, which is formed by an annular tube.
  • each pipe 4 running in sections 5 and 7 is connected to the pressure compensation vessel 26 via a pressure compensation tube 27.
  • the clear width of the pipes 4 tapers.
  • the pipes 4 have a larger inner diameter d in the lower part 5 of the gas flue, on as the pipes 4 in the overlying second part 7 of the throttle cable, the inner diameter of which is denoted by d 2 .
  • the tubes 4 with the smaller inner diameter d 2 are connected directly to the tubes 4 with the larger inner diameter d-, ie the tubes 4 merge into one another in the region 25.
  • the tubes 4 in section 5 have a thread in a manner not shown shaped internal ribs.
  • the tubes 4 are dimensioned in section 5 such that the mean mass flow density there is less than or equal to 1000 kg / m 2 s at full load. The average mass flow density in the tubes 4 is then greater than 1000 kg / m 2 s in the second or middle section 7.
  • the pipes 4 again have a larger inner diameter than in the section 7 below. While the pipes 4 in the second section 7 also preferably have a thread-like internal ribbing over their entire length, the pipes 4 are of the third section 8 is provided with a thread-like inner ribbing only over part of its length. However, it is expedient to dispense with internal ribbing.
  • the number of pipes 4 in the upper section 8 of the surrounding wall 2 is only half as large as in the second section 7. Therefore, two pipes 4 of the second section 7 each open in a region 30 into a pipe 4 of the third section 8 that is assigned to them ( Figure 1).
  • the outer diameter of the tubes 4 in sections 5 and 7 is different and adapted to the respective inner diameter d ,, d 2 such that the wall thickness of the tubes 4 in all sections 5, 7, 8 is approximately the same size is.
  • the outer diameter of the tubes 4 can also be the same in all sections 5, 7, 8, so that the wall thickness of the tubes 4 in the middle or second section 7 is greater than in the first section 5 and / or in the third section 8
  • the tubes 4 are provided on their long sides with fins 9 which serve for the gas-tight connection of the tubes 4.
