Patent number: 8386147Abstract: In a heating apparatus for heating the air sucked into a gas turbine by a heat exchanger, the temperature fluctuation of the heated air is suppressed even in the period, for which a steam source to be fed to the heat exchanger is changed. For suppression, a heat exchanger is fed with both a self-can steam, the feed rate of which is controlled by a self-can steam control valve, and the auxiliary-steam, the feed rate of which is controlled by an auxiliary-steam control valve. At starting time, the quantity of the auxiliary-steam is reduced at a constant rate, and that of the self-can steam is increased while a feedback control and a feedforward control are being made. At stopping time, the quantity of the self-can steam is reduced at a constant rate, and that of the auxiliary-steam is increased while the feedback control and the feedforward control are being made.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2008Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Assignee: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Satoshi Tanaka, Shoichi Harada

Patent number: 8181439Abstract: A gas turbine is driven by a combustion gas produced when BFG compressed by a gas compressor and air compressed by a compressor are burned in a combustor. Steam is generated from a waste heat boiler by utilization of heat of an exhaust gas from the gas turbine, and a steam turbine is driven by this steam. An electric generator generates electricity upon driving of the turbines. A condensing heat exchanger is disposed in an air intake duct, and part of steam from the waste heat boiler flows through the heat exchanger to heat intake air. The amount of steam that flows through the heat exchanger is adjusted by adjusting the degree of opening of a steam control valve by a control device. By so doing, the ignition performance of the gas turbine in a BFG-fired gas turbine combined cycle plant is enhanced even in an extremely cold district.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2011Date of Patent: May 22, 2012Assignee: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.Inventor: Shoichi Harada

Patent number: 8141335Abstract: Extremely cold (e.g., ?20° C.) air A is heated by a heat exchanger 30, which is supplied with steam S via a control valve 32, and heated air A? is taken into a gas turbine 10. The valve opening degree of the control valve 32 is feedback-controlled so that the deviation between the measured temperature t1 and the target temperature TO of the heated air A? is eliminated. Further, when the number of revolutions, N, of the gas turbine 10 increases, or when an IGV opening degree OP increases, the valve opening degree of the control valve 32 is feedforward-controlled in accordance with the increase in the number N of revolutions or the increase in the IGV opening degree OP. By so doing, the temperature of air A? can be maintained at a temperature enabling stable combustion without delay in control, and intake air can be heated without delay in control, even at the start of the gas turbine or during change in the opening degree of an inlet guide vane.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2007Date of Patent: March 27, 2012Assignee: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Satoshi Tanaka, Shoichi Harada, Kozo Toyama

Patent number: 8128862Abstract: The blast furnace gas burning facility prevents a wet type dust collector from freezing under such conditions that the temperature of blast furnace gas does not exceed the freezing lower-limit temperature of the wet type dust collector. The blast furnace gas burning facility 1 burns blast furnace gas discharged from a blast furnace by supplying the gas to a combustor 2 after removing dust with a wet type dust collector 7 and compressing the gas with a compressor 8. A fuel-gas heating channel 12 is disposed between the outlet side of the compressor and the inlet side of the wet type dust collector. When the temperature of the blast furnace gas flowing into the wet type dust collector is lower than a lower limit temperature, a high-temperature, high-pressure gas compressed by the compressor is diverged and supplied into the inlet side of the wet type dust collector.Type: GrantFiled: July 4, 2008Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.Inventor: Shoichi Harada
