Title:
BOILER INTERNAL FLUE GAS BY-PASS DAMPER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002050403
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A flue gas passage arrangement (12) for a steam generator which permits adjustment of the heat transfer effectiveness of a final bank of heat exchanger surface (16) to control a temperature of the flue gas flowing through and exiting from the flue gas passage and conveyed to a downstream NOX reduction device (36) having a minimum operating temperature. The NOX device is advantageously an SCR (36). Economizer heating surface is located within the flue gas passage, and a baffle plate (30) extends through the flue gas passage and creates two flue gas paths (26, 28) there through. The economizer heating surface may be a single, common bank having a section located in both gas paths, or in only one gas path. Alternatively, two separate banks of economizer heating surface may be employed. A variable position damper (32) is provided in one gas path, either below or above the section.
