How to Reduce the Startup Time of a Legacy Combined Cycle

Legacy HRSGs in service may restrict or limit the plant startup rate, but some possible upgrades can reduce the amount of time it takes to bring a combined cycle online. This article discusses three options: steam sparging, controlling the HP-drum termperate ramp rate independently of the gas turbine startup rate be venting steam, and lay-up practices.

HRSG Coverage Increases at WTUI as LM Cogen, Combined-Cycle Facilities Multiply

Thermal shock can occur in panel type economizers and HRST Inc’s ShockMaster economizer is designed to resist tube cracking and other issued caused by thermal gradients. Buoyancy instability is also a cycling issue that causes flow stagnation in panel type economizers.
