Painted Stainless Steel Horizontal Superheater And Reheater Inverted

Description of boiler superheater and reheater

For power plant boiler, it is a crutial way to increase thermal economy of thermal power station by improving parameter of superheated steam. The increase of superheated steam parameters are limited by metal materials. The design of superheaters must make sure that the temperature of outer wall of heating surface pipes is lower than allowable temperature of oxidation resistance of steel, and meanwhile make sure its mechanical strength. with the development of metal material used in boilers, pwoer station boilers in our country already generally apply high pressure, high temperature(9.8MPa, 540 degrees) and superhigh pressure parameters(13.7 MPa, 540 and 555 degrees), and have developed subcritical pressure parameters(16.7MPa, 540 and 555 degrees). Now lots of boilers apply supercritical pressure parameters(24.5MPa, 540-570 degrees), and even very few units apply higher pressure and temperture parameters.

Details of boiler superheater and reheater

In modern boilers, the heat absorption consumption of the superheaters and reheaters is over half of total heat absorption for the working fluid, thus the heating surfaces of superheaters and reheaters account for a large proportion in total heating surfaces of boilers, and they must be placed in the areas where smoke temperature is higher, the working conditions are the worst among all the heating surfaces.Tube wall temperature of the heating surfaces is close to the max. allowable temperature of steel, so the reasonable arrangement a dnd design of superheaters and reheaters matter so much for economy and reliability to the while boiler. When it comes to their design, on the basis of assurance of safety and reliability of superheater and reheater, it is very necessary to save metal consumption at the best, especially to save usage of alloy steel.

For boilers in large power stations, superheaters and reheaters are necessary parts, to a large extend, they have influced the safety and economy of boilers. Superheaters are the heating surfaces which heat the main steam from the surnatured temperature to the rated superheated temperature, and the reheaters are the heating surfaces which heat the exaust from the steam turbine high pressure cylinder to a certain temperature.When running conditions like boiler loads, coal types change, it is to adjust them to make sure the outlet temperature at the rated level of -10-+5 degrees.

For large boilers in power stations, superheaters and reheaters account for a big proportion in the total heating surfaces, they are to be arranged in the areas where smoke is with higher temperature. To improve the efficiency of thermal circulation in power stations, it is needed to improve the original parameters f steam gradually, the increase of steam pressure requires the corresponding increase of temperature for superheated steam, or the humidity of large stage exhaust of steam turbine will be too high, which will influence its safety. Thus, the steam flowing through superheaters and reheaters are high temperature steam, their heat transfer performance is quite bad, which determines that tube wall temperatures of superheaters and reheaters are high.

Principle of boiler superheater and reheater

• Principle of superheater is similar to steam generating tubes of boiler.

• The hot gases at high temperature sweep over superheater tubes and raise the temperature of steam which magnitude depends upon exit gas temperature leaving the superheater and gas velocity.

Application of boiler superheater and reheater

use for heating saturated steam, steam temperature could be up to 900 degree C.
