Special Features
• SG for the Life Steam Supplier : For the selected turbine set, the feedwater temperature is 283°C, while the SC steam parameters at SG outlet are 25.4 MPa/571°C.
• For the helium side of SG, the inlet temperature is kept at 750°C to maintain 179°C temperature difference between the helium and the SC steam for effective heat transfer.
• The outlet helium temperature should be increased from 250°C for the standard MHTGR-250 design to 330°C to maintain effective heat transfer between the helium and the feedwater.
• Although high steam pressure and temperature involves modifications of the once-through SG and relevant pipes, no additional difficulties in design and manufacture are expected.
• (Reheat Exchanger for Reheat Steam Supply
• For the selected turbine set, the steam parameters at the inlet of the reheat exchanger are 4.38 MPa/311°C and 4.19 MPa/569°C at the outlet.
• For the helium side of reheat exchanger, the helium temperature at both inlet and outlet should be 350°C/750°C.
Double Reheat Super Critical Plants
Net efficiency on natural gas is expected to reach 49%. Net efficiency on coal is expected to reach 47%.
