Description Once-through steam generator having spirally arranged evaporator tubes The invention relates to a once-through steam generator having a gas flue formed from steam generator tubes welded to one another in a gas-tight manner via fins, the steam generator tubes being connected in parallel for the throughflow of a flow medium, having on their inside a surface structure for generating a high heat transfer from their inner wall to the flow medium and being arranged approximately in a spiral coil in a firing region of the gas flue.
In the combustion chamber walls of a once-through steam generator which, in a firing region, are composed of spirally arranged steam generator tubes, smooth tubes are normally used. However, on account of the heat transfer properties of a smooth tube when the flow velocity of a medium flowing in it is low, an arrangement of this type is suitable only for load states of normally more than about 40% of the design load of the once-through steam generator. Below this minimum load of about 40% of the design load, a circulating mode is normally superposed on the once-through mode of the steam gener-ator, so as to ensure sufficient cooling of the steam generator tubes . However, cutti r_g in a circular ir_g mode in this way leads to a lowering of the fresh-steam temperature of the once-through steam generator of about 80°C.
However, particularly in order to avoid night time shutdowns of a power plant supplied by the once through steam generator, it may be necessary to design the once-thr ugh steam generator in such a way that it can be operated at a sufficiently high fresh-steam temperature even in load states of more than 20% of the design load. This is possible by the use of those steam generator tubes which have on their inside a surface structure, for example in the form of ribs (internally ribbed tubes), for generating a high heat transfer from their inner wall to the flow medium. The use of such steam generator tubes with internal ribbing in a once-through steam generator having vertically arranged evaporator tubes is known, for example, from European patent application 0,503,116 Al. However, a steam generator tube with internal ribbing has a markedly higher pressure loss due to friction in comparison with a smooth tube. In the case of multiple heating of a steam generator tube, such an increased pressure loss due to friction may lead to temperature differences between adjacent tubes, in particular at the outlet of an evaporator, on account of fluctuations in the mass flow of the medium flowing through the tube. These temperature differences may cause damage due to inadmissible thermal stresses.
An aspect on which the invention is based is, therefore, to specify a once-through steam generator of the abovementioned type, during the operation of which particularly low temperature differences occur at the outlet of adjacent steam generator tubes even in low load states of, for example, about 200 of the design load of the once-through steam generator.
A broad aspect of the invention provides a once-through steam generator, comprising: a gas flue having a firing region, steam generator tubes with a length L and an outside diameter d, and fins gas-tightly welding said steam generator tubes to one another; said steam generator tubes connected in parallel for a throughflow of a flow medium;
said steam generator tubes having an inner wall surface and an inner surface structure for generating a high heat transfer from said inner wall surface to the flow medium;
said steam generator tubes disposed approximately in a spiral coil in said firing region; and each of said steam - 2a -generator tubes constructed in such a way that points in a coordinate system, determined by pairs of values of said tube length L in said firing region and said outside diameter d of said tube, lie approximately along a straight line defined as follows: points determined by pairs of values L = 59.7 m, d = 31.8 mm and L = 93.6 m, d = 44.5 mm for a fin width of 12 mm; points determined by pairs of values L = 64.7 m, d = 31.8 mm and L = 99.8 m, d = 44.5 mm for a fin width of 16 mm; and points determined by pairs of values L = 70.6 m, d = 31.8 mm and L = 106.9 m, d = 44.5 mm for a fin width of 20 mm.
According to the invention, there is provided a once-through steam generator of the abovementioned type, in which each steam generator tube is designed in such a way that points in a coordinate system which are determined by pairs of values of the tube length in the firing region and of the tube outside diameter lie approximately on a straight line which is defined - for a fin width of 12 mm by the points determined by the pairs of values L = 59.7 m, d = 31.8 mm and L = 93.6 m, d = 44.5 mm, - for a fin width of 16 mm by the points determined by the pairs of values L = 64.7 m, d = 31.8 mm and L = 99.8 m, d = 44.5 mm, or - for a fin width of 20 mm by the points determined by the pairs of values L = 70.6 m, d = 31.8 mm and L = 106.9 m, d = 44.5 mm.
In this case, the tube length is the length of the steam generator tube between an initial value and a final value, the initial value being defined by the transition of an ash funnel mounted underneath the gas flue into the gas flue, to which a third of the height of the ash funnel is added. The final value is defined either by the transition of the spirally arranged steam generator tubes into a vertical arrangement or by their being connected to one another in pressure terms, for example by means of a collecting vessel.
So that a once-through steam generator, the steam generator tubes of which have a particularly large or a particularly small wall thickness or the ash funnel of which has a particularly large or a particularly small angle of inclination of its outer walls, can also be operated reliably in low load states of about 20% of its design load, the tube length of each steam generator tube expediently deviates by no more than 15 % from the tube length defined by the relevant straight line. For a fin width other than those mentioned, the tube length is expediently extrapolated or interpolated linearly with the fin width from the given straight lines.
The invention proceeds from the consideration that a temperature difference between the outlet of a multiply heated steam generator tube and the outlet of a normally or averagely heated steam generator tube is particularly low when the multiple heating of the steam generator tube reduces to only a slight extent the mass flow density flowing in the latter. The mass flow density of a multiply heated steam generator tube decreases because the pressure loss due to friction of the steam generator tube in question increases as a result of the multiple heating. However, since the total pressure loss in a steam generator tube is composed of the pressure-loss component "pressure loss due to friction and of the pressure-loss component "geodetic pressure loss", the effect of a multiple heating of a steam generator tube on its mass flow density can be reduced if the pressure-loss component "geodetic pressure loss" of the total pressure loss is sufficiently high. A sufficiently high pressure loss component "geodetic pressure loss" of, for example, more than 0.5 times the pressure loss due to friction can be achieved by means of an appropriate design of the steam generator tubes.
The pressure loss due 'to friction of a steam generator tube can be determined, for example, according to the publications Q. Zheng et al., "Druckverlust in glatten and innenberippten Verdampferrohren" ["Pressure loss in smooth and internally ribbed evaporator tubes"], Warme and Stoffubertragung [Heat and Mass Transfer] 26, pages 232 to 330, Springer Verlag 1991, and Z. Rouhani, "Modified Correlations for Void-Fraction and Two-Phase Pressure Drop", AE-RTV-841 (1969).
In order to improve further the flows through all the steam generator tubes in the case of small temperature differences between multiply heated and normally heated steam generator tubes, expediently the inside diameter of the steam generator tubes is larger in an upper region of the firing region of the combustion chamber than in a lower region.
Exemplary embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail by means of a drawing in which:
Figure 1 shows a simplified representation of a once-through steam generator with a combustion chamber wall having approximately spirally arranged tubes, Figure 2 shows a detail of an oblique section through a combustion chamber wall, Figure 3 shows a coordinate system with curves A, B and C, and Figure 4 shows surface structures of a prior art steam generator tube.
Like parts are provided with the same reference symbols in all the Figures.
Figure 1 shows diagrammatically a once-through steam generator 2 of rectangular cross-section, the vertical gas flue of which is formed by a containing or combustion chamber wall 4 which merges at the lower end into a funnel-shaped bottom 6.
In a firing region V of the gas flue, a number of burners for a fossil fuel are in each case mounted in an orifice 8, of which only two burners can be seen, in the combustion chamber wall 4 composed of steam generator tubes 10. The steam generator tubes 10 are arranged approximately in a spiral coil in the firing region V, in which they are welded to one another in a gas-tight manner to form an evaporator heating surface 12.
As shown in Figure 2, the steam generator tubes 10 are welded to one another in a gas-tight manner via fins 13 having the fin width b and, for example in a tube/web/tube structure or in a finned-tube structure, form the gas-tight combustion chamber wall 4. The steam generator tubes have on their inside a surface structure for generating a high heat transfer from their inner wall to the flow medium.
Surface structures of this type are described, for example, in the German Published, Prosecuted Patent Application No. 2 032 891. Figure 1 of the corresponding U.S. patent number 3,734,140 is shown as prior art Figure 4 of the present application. The abstract of U.S. patent number 3,734,140 describes the surface structures as follows: "The inner wall surface of the tube is crossed-rifled to provide a plurality of quadrilaterally shaped - 5a -projections uniform and regularly spaced along the cross-rifled axes. The minor inside diameter dl, the projection height hl of each projection, the projection pitch P, projection width bl, and spiral lead angle a and a have the following relationships: P/hl is from 5 to 4 hl/dl is from 0.005 to 0.08, bl/P is in the range of 0.2 to 0.8, and the spiral lead angles a + /3 are from 20° to 80°".
Located above the firing region V of the gas flue are convection heating surfaces 14, 16 and 18. Above these is located a flue-gas outlet duct 20, via which the flue gas RG generated as a result of combustion of a fossil fuel leaves the vertical gas flue. The flue gas RG serves as a heating medium for the water or water/steam mixture flowing in the steam generator tubes 10.
The steam generator tubes 10 are designed in such a way that, when the once-through steam generator 2 is in operation, the geodetic pressure loss of the medium flowing through a steam generator tube 10 is at least 0.5 times its pressure loss due to friction. So as to ensure a sufficiently high geodetic pressure loss in the steam generator tube 10 for this purpose, irrespective of the steam output of the once-through steam generator 2, the steam generator tubes 10 are designed in such a way that points in a coordinate system which are determined by pairs of values of the tube length L in the firing region V and of the tube outside diameter d lie approximately on one of the curves or straight lines A, B or C represented in Figure 3.
In this case, the curve A indicates the design criterion for a once-through steam generator 2 having steam generator tubes 10 which are welded to one another in a gas-tight manner via fins 13 having a fin width b of 12 mm. In contrast, the curves B and C indi-cate the design criterion for the fin width b to be 16 mm and 20 mm respectively.
In this case, the tube length L in the firing region V is the average length of a steam generator tube between an initial point AP and a final point EP. The initial point AP is fixed by the lower edge U of the retaining wall 4 plus one third of the height H of the 10 funnel-shaped bottom 6. The final point EP is defined by that point at which the steam generator tubes 10 merge into a vertical arrangement or are connected to one another in pressure terms. In a way not shown in any more detail, the inside diameter of the steam generator tubes 10 is larger in an upper region 21 of the firing region V than in a lower region 22 of the firing region V.
