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

ii) Design Temperature Maximum fluid temperature plus margin as per

IBR.
iii) Design Pressure 1.05 times the maximum operating pressure or
as required by IBR/ other international codes,
whichever is higher.

6.5.5 Boiler startup recirculation and drain water system

i) Boiler start-up recirculation & drain system shall be provided with start-
up drain re-circulation pump and alternate drains shall be led to
atmospheric flash tank or directly to turbine condenser. 2x50%
condensate pumps shall be provided for pumping the atmospheric flash
tank condensate to turbine condenser. Necessary control valves shall be
provided in the condensate line for maintaining the level in the flash
tank/ drain receiving vessel.

ii) The start-up recirculation & drain system shall comply with following
design requirements:
a) Designed for fast start-up with and without the recirculation pumps
and cyclic load operation of Steam Generator.

b) Designed for maximum possible recirculation & drain flow under all
possible normal, abnormal, upset and accidental conditions. The
drain piping, valves, flash tank, drain receiving vessel and
condensate pumps shall also be sized to cater to this.

c) Start up recirculation & drain piping and its supports shall be

designed to take care of excessive vibration, which may result from
two phase flow conditions, if it occurs.

d) The start-up drain re-circulation pumps shall be of proven design.

Boiler start-up drain recirculation pumps and their motors shall meet
the following requirements:
1. Number of 1x100% (sized for maximum flow as specified
pump above).
2. Type of Glandless zero leakage type with overhung
pump impeller.
3. Motor Submerged type with wet stator with water
specification coolers. Motor for steam generator start up
recirculation pump shall be a wet motor,
specifically designed by the pump manufacturer
for the application and shall be as per the
standard adopted by the pump manufacturer.
Motor windings shall be of non-hygroscopic
material and shall be designed to withstand
continuous water pressure & temperature
variation.
