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

h) Minimum flue gas exit 50C above acid dew point of flue gas.
temperature (for complete
range of specified fuels)
i) Air leakage (at 100% 10% of the flue gas weight entering air-
TMCR load for complete heater.
range of coals)

ii) For meeting the requirement of rated coal/ air mixture temperatures at
burner inlet at part load operations of steam generator with coals of
excessive moisture and under conditions of low ambient temperatures,
economizer bypass duct may be provided along with necessary dampers,
expansion joints, structures etc. Even in case economizer bypass is
provided, the sizing of air preheaters shall ensure that the rated mill
outlet temperatures are achieved, for complete range of specified coals,
with economizer bypass fully closed.

iii) APH inlet/ outlet flue gas/ air ducts shall have aerodynamic design for
even distribution of air/ flue gas at all loads.

iv) The air pre heaters shall be of rotary regenerative, Lungstorm or

approved equivalent type with axis of rotation as vertical. The
construction of air pre heaters shall conform to the following:
a) Heating Elements
1. Cold end : Corten steel, minimum 1.2 mm thick
2. Hot/intermediate end : Carbon steel, minimum 0.8 mm thick
b) Bearings (forced lubricated and oil cooled)
1. Cold end : Spherical roller thrust bearing
2. Hot end : Radial guide bearing
Note: Only metallic hoses shall be used for bearing cooling/
lubrication. Rubber hoses shall not be acceptable.

c) Air heater seals 1. Externally (manually/ automatically) adjustable

and easily replaceable type.

2. The maximum air-in-leakage to flue gas after

3000 hours continuous operation of the Steam
Generator with coal shall be guaranteed and
demonstrated. It shall also be demonstrated that
the drift in air heater leakage (percentage
change in air-in-leakage) does not exceed 1%,
one year after demonstration of above
guaranteed air-in-leakage.

3. Seals shall have life of not less than 2 years

(with leakages not exceeding guaranteed
limits).
