  • Radiant to convection transition for fired equipment
    Patent number: 10527278
    Abstract: Modern steam generators typically include a radiant section and a convection section. Due to differing performance requirements of the radiant and convection sections, the radiant section often has a round cross-section, while the convection section often has a rectangular cross-section. Previous designs utilized a target wall to affect the transition. An angled transition section is disclosed herein that substantially eliminates the target wall and/or the reverse target and provides a corresponding improvement in steam generator efficiency.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 28, 2018
    Date of Patent: January 7, 2020
    Assignee: PCL INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC.
    Inventors: Mark Elmer Pittser, Zachary Mark Smith, Garry Loren Barker
