Standard Technical Features of BTG System for Supercritical 660/800 MW Thermal Units

c) Maximum allowable tube 400C below oxidation metal limit for the
skin temperature tube metal.
d) Means of temperature
control:
1. Superheaters Spray water attemperation, (utilising
water tapped off from downstream side
of HP heaters or intermediate banks of
economizer or economizer outlet).
Tapping of spray water upstream of top
HP heater is not allowed.

2. Reheaters* Tilting of burners/ gas biasing/ gas

recirculation (gas to be tapped off after
ID fans), spray water attemperation
(utilising water tapped off from
interstage of BFP).

*Note: In case gas recirculation system is offered for reheat

temperature control, minimum 2x100% gas recirculation fans with
atleast 20% margin on flow and 44% margin on head over calculated
maximum requirement of fan flow and head respectively shall be
provided for each Steam Generator.

ii) Construction of superheaters & reheaters shall have following features:

a) Heating surfaces arrangements:

1. Completely drainable tubes/ banks/ sections for SH/ RH tube
banks in case of tower type gas path arrangement. For the two
pass boilers, the arrangement of SH/ RH banks shall have a
drainable layout to the maximum possible extent.
2. Banks/ sections/ tubes should be made from seamless tubes.
3. In case of single fire vortex boiler, ensure even temperature
distribution at gas and steam side by criss-crossing the steam
paths between LHS and RHS.
4. Use of girdling loops shall not be permitted except in case it is
standard practice of the manufacturer.
5. Elements shall be uniformly spaced to avoid gas bypassing.
6. Use of radiant wall superheater shall not be allowed.

Note: If design with radiant wall reheater is intended, the use of

such radiant wall reheater shall be restricted to only on one of the
furnace walls (i.e. either on the front wall or on one of the side
walls). Further, the lowest portion of wall RH shall not be below the
furnace nose tip level.
