Solutions in Heat Transfer Technology
Siemens Heat Transfer Technology (hereafter Siemens) is
a reputable OEM HRSG supplier, previously operating
under the NEM brand name. We have provided the boil-
ers behind many gas turbines, varying in size from
10 MW up to the largest machines, and for all kinds of
fuels and applications. We offer a wide variety of boiler

designs in order to be able to meet your specific require-
ments, focusing on the lowest total installed and/or
operational costs. Since we can supply both horizontal
and vertical boilers, we can optimize the boiler configu-
ration to the smallest possible plot space available.

Customer benefits Product overview
We are a highly experienced boiler
OEM with the widest variety of installed
boiler designs worldwide.
We offer horizontal and vertical boilers for a gas
turbine range from 10 MW up to the largest
machines.
Our fast start solutions provide savings for your
plant on both fuel costs and emissions.
For brown field application, we can design the
boiler with a minimum downtime for your exist-
ing plant, minimizing the modifications
required at the site.
Siemens minimizes the environmental footprint
and contributes to long-term profitable and sus-
tainable business.
Siemens is present all around the world. We are a
financially solid partner capable of helping you to
develop your projects.
Siemens can optimize the boiler design to per-
fectly suit the gas or steam turbine (or both).

Horizontal Benson Once Through HRSGs

These HRSGs have a horizontal exhaust gas path with the

heat exchanger tube bundles arranged vertically. The
units are designed for natural circulation of the water-
steam mixture in the evaporator tubes. A ‘once through’
design is also available.

The Siemens horizontal HRSG features a so-called ‘cold-

casing’ design. The casing is completely internally insu-
lated and lined with sheeting, allowing thermal growth.

This cold-casing design allows a fast gas turbine start-up

and is more suitable for the high gas temperatures associ-
ated with modern gas turbines and/or supplementary
firing.

Fast Start & Cycling Operations
Siemens is a worldwide provider of two types of Fast
Start HRSG technologies: Benson® and DrumPlus™.
Siemens’ HRSG Fast Start solutions offer a quick
response to power demand, while maintaining the
lifetime of any HRSG. This ability is of special impor-
tance in so-called spot markets and locations where
the daily fluctuation in power is aggravated by power
fluctuations of renewables.
Siemens’ Fast Start solutions allow unrestricted gas tur-
bine ramp-up which results in remarkable flexibility,
reduced start-up costs, quick delivery to the grid and
significantly lower CO and NOx emissions during
start-up.
DrumPlus™ Benson®
The HP drum in our DrumPlus™ requires a thin wall
and minimal nozzle sizes are minimized. As a result,
peak stresses are significantly reduced. This pro-
vides optimal flexibility for the future, as there is
sufficient design margin for more demanding
operations.
With Siemens’ revolutionary DrumPlus™ Fast Start
technology, no gas turbine start-up holds are
required. The drum’s thin wall allows unrestricted
ramp-up of the gas turbine. The minimized thick-
ness is a result of the small drum diameter. A key
aspect is the external location of the water-/steam-
separators, allowing an optimal separator design
without the limits set by the confined space in the
drum.
Our unique know-how has allowed us to develop a
game-changing new design: the DrumPlus™, a
drum-type Fast Start HRSG. This patented boiler
technology is available for single-, double- and tri-
ple-pressure HRSGs. Two DrumPlus™ HRSGs were
officially inaugurated at NRG’s Flex Plant™ 10, El
Segundo, California in September 2013. This Fast
Start boiler technology is the first of its kind in com-
mercial operation, allowing the gas turbine to reach
150MW in a time span of just ten minutes!
 Delivery concepts and site construction
We can supply our HRSGs in all kinds of prefabricated con-
HRSG design for HRSG design for
cepts, which enable you to optimize the total installed costs.

They can be delivered in the form of small parts due to
transport limitations, or even complete pre-erected units

(WHRU) range by Siemens offers an
efficient method of recovering ther-
mal energy from the waste heat of
gas turbine exhaust gases.
This method allows a significant
increase in the efficiency of the tur-
bine train, and a decrease in both
fuel demand and pollution.
Siemens is able to supply the entire
scope for your gas turbine train,
therefore bringing the total number
of parties required for project rea-
lization back to only one.
Siemens’ WHRU solution can also be
applied to gas turbines from any
other supplier, in a range from 10

Highly configurable

The Siemens WHRU modular design provides great flexibility. The
standardized configurable modules mean the design can be easily
optimized to suit any customer requirement.

Designed for flexibility 4
The WHRU’s pressure parts module is classified as ‘engineered to
order’ which means that the design is calculated and fabricated spe-
cifically for each project and customer need. In this process, we rely 3
on our intensive and comprehensive experience in heat transfer
technology.

Serving the market
The standardized design fits every type of gas turbine from any sup-
plier, ranging from 10 to 70 MW. It is therefore in perfect harmony

with, but not limited to, the existing Siemens gas turbine portfolio.
