  • Patent number: 11655736
    Abstract: A CCPP includes a gas turbine, a HRSG, a steam turbine a flash tank and first and second supply lines. The gas turbine, the HRSG and the steam turbine are interconnected to generate power. The gas turbine may include an air preheating system to preheat the air supplied in the gas turbine to enable expedite combustion therein. The flash tank is fluidically connected at a cold end of the HRSG to extract waste hot water from the cold end. Further, the first supply line is configured to interconnect the flash tank and the steam turbine to supply of flash steam to the steam turbine. Furthermore, the second supply line is configured to interconnect the flash tank and the air preheating system to supply hot flash condensate thereto.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150114319
    Abstract: The feedwater preheating system includes a feedwater tank and a constant volume recirculation pump. The feedwater tank is adapted to store the feedwater. The feedwater tank includes feed and return lines. The feed line is adapted to feed the feedwater to the HRSG, and the return line enables returning of the feedwater into the feedwater tank. The return line precludes a control valve, and is configured to the feedwater tank to reduce component loss while feedwater recirculation. The constant volume recirculation pump is configured in the feed line to recirculate the feedwater between the HRSG and the feedwater tank. The pump is capable of recirculating the feedwater at constant speed and volume to reduce heat loss while feedwater recirculation, as against the prior art feedwater preheating systems.
