Superheater Patents (Class 122/472)
  • Patent number: 8726625
    Abstract: A combined cycle power plant is provided and includes a gas turbine engine to generate power from combustion of a fuel and air mixture, a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) disposed downstream from the gas turbine engine to receive heat energy from the gas turbine engine from which steam is produced, the HRSG including a superheating element and a drum element, and a steam turbine engine to be receptive of the steam produced in the HRSG and to generate power from the received steam, the HRSG further including a valve operably disposed to isolate the superheating element from the drum element when a risk of condensate formation in the HRSG exists.

  • Patent number: 5776413
    Abstract: A multi-pressure waste-heat boiler (7) comprises at least one circulation steam generator, having a low-pressure economizer (15), a low-pressure drum (17) and a low-pressure evaporator (16), and at least one once-through steam generator having a high-pressure economizer (21), a high-pressure evaporator (22) and a high-pressure superheater (23). An oxygen addition (32) is arranged between the steam drum (17) of the circulation steam generator and the high-pressure economizer (21) of the once-through steam generator. An ammonia addition (31) is arranged in the feed line (33) leading to the circulation steam generator.

  • Patent number: 5259343
    Abstract: A superheated steam generator having superheating steam tubes and boiler tubes fluidly connected to a boiler, wherein the steam tubes and boiler tubes extend, intermediate of a heat source and the boiler. Localized insulation is located adjacent the superheating steam tubes and intermediate of the boiler and the heat source to reduce heat transfer to the boiler in the region of the superheating steam tubes. To prevent local roiling within the boiler, the thermal resistance of the local insulation and the superheating steam tubes is substantially equal to the thermal resistance of the boiler tubes.
