  1. WELCOME TO PRESENTATION ON SUPERCRITICAL BOILER By OPERATION TEAM APML,TIRODA

  2. Introduction to Supercritical Technology What is Supercritical Pressure ? Critical point in water vapour cycle is a thermodynamic state where there is no clear distinction between liquid and gaseous state of water. Water reaches to this state at a critical pressure above 22.1 MPa and 374 oC.

  3. Rankine Cycle Subcritical Unit • 1 - 2 > CEP work • 2 - 3 > LP Heating • 3 - 4 > BFP work • 4 - 5 > HP Heating • 5 – 6 > Eco, WW • 6 – 7 > Superheating • 7 – 8 > HPT Work • 8 – 9 > Reheating • 9 – 10 > IPT Work • 10–11 > LPT Work • 11 – 1 > Condensing

  4. Rankine Cycle Supercritical Unit • 1 - 2 > CEP work • 2 – 2s > Regeneration • 2s - 3 > Boiler Superheating • 3 – 4 > HPT expansion • 4 – 5 > Reheating • 5 – 6 > IPT & LPT Expansion • 6 – 1 > Condenser Heat rejection

  5. VARIATION OF LATENT HEAT WITH PRESSURE

  6. Departure from Nucleate Boiling Nucleate boiling is a type of boiling that takes place when the surface temp is hotter than the saturated fluid temp by a certain amount but where heat flux is below the critical heat flux. Nucleate boiling occurs when the surface temperature is higher than the saturation temperature by between 40C to 300C. WATER DENSITY STEAM 175 224 PRESSURE(ksc)

  15. Water Wall Design

  16. WATER WALL ARRANGEMENT • Bottom spiral & top vertical tube furnace arrangement • Once through design feature is used for boiler water wall design • The supercritical water wall is exposed to the higher heat flux • Spiral tube wall design (wrapped around the unit) with high mass flow & velocity of steam/water mixture through each spiral • Higher mass flow improves heat transfer between the WW tube and the fluid at high heat flux.

  17. SPIRAL VS VERTICAL WALL VERTICAL WALL SPIRAL WALL More ash deposition More fluid mass flow Less number of tubes Less boiler height Uniform heat transfer and uniform heating of WW tubes Less ash deposition on wall Less mass flow More number of tubes More boiler height for same capacity No uniform heating of tubes and heat transfer in all tubes of WW

  24. Steam Water Cycle Chemistry Controls

  25. Advantages of SC Technology I ) Higher cycle efficiency means Primarily – less fuel consumption – less per MW infrastructure investments – less emission – less auxiliary power consumption – less water consumption II ) Operational flexibility – Better temp. control and load change flexibility – Shorter start-up time – More suitable for widely variable pressure operation

  26. ECONOMY Higher Efficiency (η%) • Less fuel input. • Low capacity fuel handling system. • Low capacity ash handling system. • Less Emissions. • Approximate improvement in Cycle Efficiency • Pressure increase : 0.005 % per bar • Temp increase : 0.011 % per deg K

  27. Increase of Cycle Efficiency due to Steam Parameters

  29. Challenges of supercritical technology Water chemistry is more stringent in super critical once through boiler. Metallurgical Challenges More complex in erection due to spiral water wall. More feed pump power is required due to more friction losses in spiral water wall. Maintenance of tube leakage is difficult due to complex design of water wall. Ash sticking tendency is more in spiral water wall in comparison of vertical wall.
