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

d) Maximum permissible spray attemperation flow (as percentage of

main steam flow at superheater/ reheater outlet)
1. Superheater attemperation 8% of main steam flow at
superheater outlet.
2. Reheater attemperation 3% of steam flow at reheater
outlet (0% under normal
operating conditions).
Above permissible limits shall be applicable to all boiler loads with
any combination of mills in service and shall be guaranteed. The
SH/ RH attemperation system shall, however, be sized for 12% of
the rated main steam flow requirement for superheater and 8% of
the spray flow rated reheat flow for reheater, both at 100% BMCR
load. The steam temperature downstream of desuperheater shall
have at least 100C superheat to ensure proper evaporation.
e) Spray water carryover Nil
f) Maximum steam side header pressure unbalance 6%
g) Ash bridging between the tubes Nil
Note: The steam generator design shall ensure that no damage is caused
to the reheaters with sudden closure of turbine interceptor valve.

iv) For continuous monitoring of tube metal temperatures of SH and RH

elements, adequate number of thermocouples shall be provided as per
standard and proven practice of the OEM. A suggested criterion for
provision of thermocouples is indicated as below:
a) For supherheaters and reheaters elements placed before furnace exit
plane (in the direction of gas flow), chromel-alumel thermocouples
on at least two elements of every fifth assembly between the two
headers shall be provided.
b) In addition to the above, adequate number of chromel-alumel
thermocouples for measurement of tube metal temperatures outside
the gas path shall also be provided. Total number of thermocouples
including those at (a) above shall, however, not be less than 2 (two)
thermocouples per RH/SH assembly between the two headers.

v) For maintenance/inspection of SH/RH:

a) 1.5 m clear cavity height shall be provided between two sections/
banks of horizontal heat transfer surfaces for personnel access. For
vertical surfaces, minimum clearance between the two banks shall
be 600 mm.
