Smart Starts Mitigate HRSG Damage, Preserve Reliability

A smart start is one that is able to fulfill these three goals: 1) Avoid damage and preserve reliability (more specifically, minimize damage from thermal stress and overheating); 2) Permit rapid loading of the gas turbine; and 3) Provide steam at the proper flow rate and temperature to the steam turbine.

How to Boost HRSG Performance and Increase Your Plant’s Bottom Line

The performance thieves lurking in many heat-recovery steam generators sometimes can be eliminated with relatively little effort and at low cost. This article discusses four primary performance thieves: Gas baffling, Gas-side fouling, LP economizer recirculation and Buoyancy instability/vapor locking.

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.
