Heat recovery boilers utilizing the exhaust from gas turbines continue to be viable as industrial cogeneration systems. This paper outlines the types of heat recovery boilers available for use with gas turbines (1–100 MW). It discusses the design and performance criteria for both unfired and supplementary fired gas turbine exhaust heat recovery boilers of single and multiple pressure levels. Equations to assist in energy balances are included along with design features of heat recovery system components. The economic incentive to achieve the maximum practical heat recovery versus the impact on boiler design and capital cost are examined and discussed. It is intended that the information presented in this paper will be of use to individuals who are not intimately familiar with gas turbine heat recovery systems so that they can better specify and evaluate potential systems.

The design of a gas turbine exhaust heat recovery system (HRS) depends upon evaluating various parameters. Basically for an unfired heat recovery system the heat contained in the gas turbine exhaust is fixed and output is determined based on the system’s effectiveness. One of the design objectives is to maximize the output and thus maximize the effectiveness. However, increase in effectiveness will increase required heat transfer surface and thus the cost of the HRS. The increased cost (and benefits) must be evaluated to establish whether the higher effective system is economically justifiable. The evaluation criteria of a heat recovery system involves analysis of various design parameters. This paper presents the general design procedure, the effect of each parameter on the design and basic criteria used to develop the HRS design.

A dual pressure steam/immiscible liquid cycle gas turbine bottoming plant is described. Three variants of the cycle are analysed. It is shown that under typical conditions one of these shows a 5 percent higher output than the conventional steam/steam cycle with only a 5 percent increase in heat extraction from the gas turbine exhaust. A larger LP preheater and condenser are required. Attention is drawn to the flexibility this type of cycle brings to the task of matching bottoming plant to gas turbine exhaust of combined cycles.

Gas turbine exhaust heat recovery systems have demonstrated the ability to attenuate acoustic energy without the benefit of sound absorbing materials. This paper describes the mechanisms utilized by heat recovery steam generators (HRSG) and by regenerators to reduce exhaust noise. Included is a semi-empirical method by which the attenuation of an HRSG can be predicted. Attenuations exhibited by the heat recovery equipment are in excess of 10 dB.

The concept of the dual pressure steam/pure organic hybrid immiscible liquid cycle applied to recover exhaust heat from gas turbines is extended to include organic mixtures. Thermodynamics of the resulting ternary working fluid cycle is presented. For the cycle arrangement analysed it is calculated that the ternary steam/nonane/decane cycle with the organic very nonane rich produces about 2% more work than the corresponding all steam cycle for a typical gas turbine exhaust temperature. It is estimated that this advantage can be raised to about 4% by adding additional heaters at the stack end of the heat recovery generator. The analysis shows that it is unnecessary to use a pure alkane organic. A mixture containing up to about 5% of alkanes with higher boiling points than nonane is adequate.

In recent years the combined cycle has become a very attractive power plant arrangement because of its high cycle efficiency, short order-to-on-line time and flexibility in the sizing when compared to conventional steam power plants. However, optimization of the cycle and selection of combined cycle equipment has become more complex because the three major components, Gas Turbine, Heat Recovery Steam Generator and Steam Turbine, are often designed and built by different manufacturers. Heat Recovery Steam Generators are classified into two major categories — 1) Natural Circulation and 2) Forced Circulation. Both circulation designs have certain advantages, disadvantages and limitations. This paper analyzes various factors including; availability, start-up, gas turbine exhaust conditions, reliability, space requirements, etc., which are affected by the type of circulation and which in turn affect the design, price and performance of the Heat Recovery Steam Generator. Modern trends around the world are discussed and conclusions are drawn as to the best type of circulation for a Heat Recovery Steam Generator for combined cycle application.

Inlet Duct

Computational and experimental studies are performed to investigate the effect of swirl flow of gas turbine exhaust gas (GTEG) in an inlet duct of a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). A supplemental-fired HRSG is chosen as the model studied because the uniformity of the GTEG at the inlet plane of the duct burner is essential in such applications. Both velocity and oxygen distributions are investigated at the inlet plane of the duct burner installed in the middle of the HRSG transition duct. Two important parameters, the swirl angle of GTEG and the momentum ratio of additional air to GTEG, are chosen for the investigation of mixing between the two streams. It has been found that a flow correction device (FCD) is essential to provide a uniform gas flow distribution at the inlet plane of the duct burner.
