strgme - I could have misheard the fluid conditions, it could be 1100F and 1800 psi, a lot in any event.
LittleInch - Thank you for the paper and clarification. I'm trying to get a deeper understanding of their systems so I can be more effective contracting work to them.
A HA! I knew there was something I wasn't grasping. The attemperator is conditioning the fluid for some other process (or another user entirely). Thank you, I've been confused about this for a while and couldn't get a decent answer (and the folks at the plant don't offer info if it isn't...
I believe the steam to be desuperheated was taken FROM the turbine, at some point in the generating process. The equipment was pretty neat, a 14" dia SCH160 P91 pipe with an Inconel sleeve and the variable orifice injector. I just can't wrap my mind around why one would spend the energy to...
Hello,
I recently had an opportunity to look at a project at a natural gas-fired generation plant's desuperheater. Neat bit of engineering, but the question I had that nobody seemed to have an answer for is; why? What is the benefit of taking 1800F steam at 2200psi (or so) and injecting cool...
