LU and U Learning Units: 6 eaching Units: P. Feedwater tank Feedwater tank at heat and power laboratory, Energy Department, KH, Stockholm Sweden (year 00) S. Educational Objectives After this chapter the student should: Understand thermodynamic principles of regenerative feedwater heating, Know differences between open and closed feedwater heaters, Sketch a flow diagram of a regenerative steam cycle Be able to perform thermodynamic analysis of a steam cycle with several feedwater heaters. S. Working Principle of Feedwater Heating he commonly used method for increasing the thermal efficiency of a steam power plant is regenerative feedwater heating or regeneration. Regeneration is a procedure of heating the feedwater before it enters the boiler in order to decrease the temperature difference in the boiler.
3 Regenerative feedwater heating can be preformed in two ways: Feedwater passes through coils around the turbine (theoretical method), Extraction of steam into one or several heaters (practical method). G Boiler urbine Pump Heater Pump Condenser P. hermal efficiency he thermal efficiency of a power plant is the ratio between useful work obtained and energy rate of the fuel input. P. emperature difference he heat supply in the boiler of a steam cycle is a non-isothermal process; the temperature of the working fluid in the boiler increases during the heat supply. 6 -: Expansion of steam in the turbine -: Condensation in the condenser -: Pumping of feedwater to boiler pressure --6-: Heat supply in boiler which generates steam s
4 P. Around the turbine he condensed liquid passes through coils around the turbine and receives heat from the fluid expanding in the turbine. his is not done in a practical cycle heoretical Regenerative steam cycle flow diagram P. Steam into one or several heaters Extraction of steam into heaters is the practical approach of regeneration. here are two types of feedwater heaters: - Closed feedwater heaters, in which the streams (feedwater and extracted steam) do not mix - Open feedwater heaters, in which the streams (feedwater and extracted steam) mix G Boiler 7 urbine 6 Pump Open Feedwater heater Pump Condenser Single extraction regenerative cycle flow diagram with an open heater he heat (kj/kg steam) to be supplied in the boiler is given by (h h 7 ); heating the working fluid from temperature 7 up to temperature

6 P. Mean temperature where he temperature of the working fluid increases during the heat supply, which means that it is a non-isothermal process. For cycle efficiency analysis, the mean temperature of heat addition is considered. his reflects what the temperature would be if the same amount of heat would be added all at one temperature. he mean temperature of heat addition is: in Qin = s Q in is heat transfer from energy source into the working fluid passing through the boiler, s is entropy increase of the working fluid during heating in the boiler. P. Higher thermal efficiency he temperature-entropy diagram shows the mean temperature of heat supply for a simple steam cycle ( in ) and a regenerative steam cycle ( in ). Qin (Qin) in in s s s -s diagram for a steam cycle with three closed feedwater heaters -: expansion in the turbine, -: condensation process in the condenser, -: feedwater preheating in closed heaters, -: heat addition in boiler. - the amount of heat transferred from extracted steam (from turbine) to the feedwater. s = s - s : entropy increase of the working fluid during heating in the boiler with feedwater preheating 6
7 s = s - s : entropy increase of the working fluid during heating in the boiler without feedwater preheating Q in = heat supply to the steam cycle with feedwater preheating (heating needed from temperature to ) Q in = heat supply to the steam cycle without feedwater preheating (heating needed from temperature to ) According to Carnot, the higher is the temperature of heat supply, the higher is the thermal efficiency of the cycle. he mean temperature of heat addition with preheating, in is higher than mean temperature of heat addition without preheating in, thus the thermal efficiency for the steam cycle becomes higher with feedwater preheating. he regenerative feedwater heating has a larger impact on the thermal efficiency than the power lost in the turbine caused by steam extraction. S. Open Feedwater Heaters An open feedwater heater is a direct contact-type heat exchanger in which the streams at different temperatures mix to form a stream at an intermediate temperature. G Boiler 7 urbine 6 Pump Open Feedwater heater Pump Condenser -s diagram hermodynamic analysis he special type of the open feedwater heater is the feedwater tank. 7
8 P. Direct contact-type heat exchanger he principle scheme of open feedwater heaters is given below: s(p) w = s(p) w L he advantage of using open feedwater heaters is that the feedwater is heated to the saturation temperature of the extraction steam; the temperature efficiency is therefore 00%. Pumps are needed in between the heaters, as the heaters are working at different pressure levels. he need of pumping power is a disadvantage (from cost perspective) when using only open feedwater heaters in a steam cycle.

9 P. he thermodynamic analysis An important initial step is the evaluation of the mass and energy flow rates through each of the components.

Feedwater tank he feedwater tank has three purposes: Water container. his is to be able to operate the cycle at part load, i.e. to decrease massflow through the cycle. Open-type feedwater heater, Deaerator (for releasing gases out). Dissolved gases in the working fluid may cause erosion in cycle components; thus there is a need for venting the gases. Gas out Feedwater inlet Steam from turbine Plates - 0 bar Feedwater to boiler Feedwater ank S.6 Closed Feedwater Heaters Closed heaters are shell-and-tube-type recuperators in which the feedwater temperature increases (-6) when the extracted steam first cools and thereafter condenses (-7) on the outside of the tubes. 0
11 he condensate of extracted steam is commonly lead through a pressure trap (7-8) to the next lower pressure heater or to the condenser where it is added to the main stream. -s diagram -6: feedwater heating in the heater, -7: cooling and condensation of steam in the heater. Observe that the steam extracted from the turbine most often is at superheated state, thus cooling takes place before condensation. 7-8: condensate pressure decrease in a trap hermodynamic analysis here are several arrangements of closed feedwater heaters.

Heat balance for one closed heater (energy is conserved) & m extr ( h h7 ) = m& ( h6 h )
13 he turbine power output for one extraction point: Pt = m& ( h h ) + ( m& extr ) ( h h ) he pump work: P p = m& ( h h) 0 m, h m, h Work required for pump can be neglected, because a liquid is incompressible (negligible temperature increase when pressure is increased) i.e.: he heat supply in the boiler: & Q boiler h h = m& ( h h6) m, h6 m, h
14 P6. Arrangements Arrangement : he most common arrangement of closed-type heaters is where the condensate is led to the next lower pressure heater as indicated in the figure below. Condensate from the preheater with the lowest pressure (i.e. the last preheater) is led to the condenser. he condensate from the higher pressure preheater passes a trap to reduce the pressure before entering the lower pressure preheater. he condensate from the higher pressure preheater will partly change phase after the pressure trap, as indicated earlier in the -s diagram. However, the throttling is isenthalpic, i.e. takes place at constant enthalpy. herefore the enthalpy of condensate exiting the high pressure preheater is the same as when entering the lower pressure preheater. his condensate will contribute to the feedwater to be heated in the lower pressure preheater. In an arrangement with only closed feedwater heaters, there is simplified only need for one pump after the condenser, as the feedwater does not mix with the steam extracted. Practically, the pumping can be divided into two steps: First pump after the condenser (before the first heater) to raise the pressure of feedwater to such a level so that steaming of feedwater into the heaters is avoided. (Example: Feedwater with.0 bar pressure enters a closed preheater in which the temperature of the extracted steam is 0ºC. As water at.0 bar boils at 0ºC, there is an overwhelming risk that part of the feedwater will start to boil. he feedwater pressure thus needs to be higher than.7 bar, which is the saturation pressure of 0ºC) Second pump after the last preheater to increase the pressure up to the boiler pressure P s(p) w w w w<s(p) L
15 Arrangement : he closed-heater is physically divided into a separate steam cooler and a condensing part. his can be done as the steam from the turbine extraction most often is superheated at the given pressure and thus needs cooling before it can condense. he feedwater is first entering the condensing heater and afterwards it is heated in the steam cooling part. II d d w w s(p) w<s(p) I w I II L Arrangement : he feedwater first enters a heater where the condensate from the closed feedwater heater is sub-cooled, thus leaving heat to the feedwater. hereafter the feedwater is further heated in the closed heater. w I p w s(p) w w<s(p) I s(p) L S.7 Multiple Feedwater Heaters he thermal efficiency of the regenerative cycle can be increased by incorporating several feedwater heaters at suitably chosen pressures.
16 he choice of the number of heaters is based on a balance between efficiency increase and investment cost. Power plants with multiple heaters have at least one open-type heater. Analysis of the regenerative steam cycle with multiple heaters G P7. Number of heaters Increasing the number of heaters, the capital cost also increases of power plant (heater, piping, pumps, etc.). For each heater added the efficiency of the power plant is increased, but there is a larger gain in increasing the number of heaters from one to two, than from five to six. A large number of heaters may be employed if the running costs of the plant are that high (for example an expensive fuel to the boiler), so that each tenth of a percent in efficiency increase give significance to the overall economy. Computer codes are employed to simulate the thermodynamic and economic performance of different designs to help deciding: he number of heaters to use, Which types of heaters to be employed, And at which pressures the heaters should operate. Up to seven feedwater heaters are common in modern steam power plants. P7. Have at least one Power plants with multiple feedwater heaters normally have at least one open feedwater heater (often the deaerator) operating at a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure in order to ventilate oxygen and other dissolved gases from the cycle. he feedwater tank also serves as water storage, making possible to increase or decrease the massflow through the cycle, so that the cycle can run on part load (and thus less fuel is fed into the boiler) 6
17 P7. Analysis o clarify the quantities of matter flowing through the various plant components, heat balances are employed. (m-m) (m) (m) (m) 0 (m) (m) G (m-m-m) s he steam extraction flows are determined from mass and energy balances for control volumes around each of the feedwater heaters, starting with the highest pressure heater Heat balance for the closed heater: m& ( h h0) = m& ( h h) Heat balance for open heater: m & h + ( m& ) h8 + m& h h9 = 0 where h = h ;h 8 h 7 and the flow exiting at 9 normally is at saturated liquid state 7
18 m, h m, h9 m-m-m, h8 m, h Power output from the turbine First stage: = m& ( h h ) + ( m& ) ( h ) P t h Second stage: = ( m& ) ( h h ) + ( m& ) ( h 6) P t h he pump work can be neglected, because the enthalpy change in the pump is almost equal to zero. he total heat added into this exemplifying cycle is the sum of energy added by heat transfer during boiling/superheating and reheating: & Q in = m& ( h h) + ( m& ) ( h h ) 8
19 m-m, h m-m, h m, h m, h S.8 Summary he thermal efficiency of the steam power cycle can be increased using regenerative heating of feedwater before the boiler, as heat in the boiler thus will be supplied at a higher average temperature (Carnot's efficiency expression). Feedwater heating can be performed in the direct contact-type exchangers, which are called open heaters. he shell-and-tube-type recuperators, so called closed heaters can be also applied for feedwater heating. In most steam power plants, arrangements with several heaters and with at least one opentype heater (feedwater tank) are employed. S.9 his you must know he maximum thermal efficiency for reversible power cycles is: Ideal Rankine efficiency Carnot efficiency Rankine efficiency Regeneration is: Heating some fraction of steam in the boiler Feedwater heating with steam extracted from boiler Feedwater heating before boiler with extracted steam from turbine Feedwater heating before heat exchanger with extracted steam from boiler Open feedwater heater is Regenerator Recuperator Direct contact-type heat exchanger Shell-and-tube type heat exchanger 9
20 Closed feedwater heater is Shell-and-tube type heat exchanger Feedwater tank Direct contact-type heat exchanger Regenerator Feedwater tank functions are: Water container Condense steam from turbine Deaerator (Gases out) Open-type feedwater heater Closed-type feedwater heater Steam cycle usually has at least one open feedwater heater because It is economically more feasible It is technically more feasible It removes air from cycle It increases cycle efficiency 0
