Avoiding HRSG Problems: F-Class User Session
Houston, Texas - May 14, 2012
NEW CONTENT!
This half-day course is for power plant personnel responsible for the operation and maintenance of HRSGs behind F-class** sized HRSGs. Subject matter will focus on three serious problem areas that are frequently encountered on HRSGs behind F-class turbines. Our instructors bring the experience of designing, testing, troubleshooting, and inspecting hundreds of HRSGs. The course will include example photographs and situations based on our first-hand experience. This course precedes the annual 7FA User's Group meeting and is held at the same conference facility.
** We consider F-Class sized HRSGs to be those behind combustion turbines similar or greater in size to the following models: GE 7FA, Westinghouse 501F, Siemens V84.3, and Alstom GT24.
Course Topics:
- Superheater and Reheater Fatigue - Common arrangements and problem areas / Surface area ratios / Desuperheating / Drain system influence.
- Economizer Cracking - Stress events that initiate and propagate cracks / Reducing stress operationally / Modifications to mitigate problems
- Drum Nozzle Cracking - Driving forces for fatigue cracks / Detection and repair strategy Flow Accelerated Corrosion (FAC). Where to expect problems, steps to an effective assessment of risk, and corrective action strategies.
