The concept of the dual pressure steam/pure organic hybrid immiscible liquid cycle applied to recover exhaust heat from gas turbines is extended to include organic mixtures. Thermodynamics of the resulting ternary working fluid cycle is presented. For the cycle arrangement analysed it is calculated that the ternary steam/nonane/decane cycle with the organic very nonane rich produces about 2% more work than the corresponding all steam cycle for a typical gas turbine exhaust temperature. It is estimated that this advantage can be raised to about 4% by adding additional heaters at the stack end of the heat recovery generator. The analysis shows that it is unnecessary to use a pure alkane organic. A mixture containing up to about 5% of alkanes with higher boiling points than nonane is adequate.

A dual pressure steam/immiscible liquid cycle gas turbine bottoming plant is described. Three variants of the cycle are analysed. It is shown that under typical conditions one of these shows a 5 percent higher output than the conventional steam/steam cycle with only a 5 percent increase in heat extraction from the gas turbine exhaust. A larger LP preheater and condenser are required. Attention is drawn to the flexibility this type of cycle brings to the task of matching bottoming plant to gas turbine exhaust of combined cycles.

Heat recovery boilers utilizing the exhaust from gas turbines continue to be viable as industrial cogeneration systems. This paper outlines the types of heat recovery boilers available for use with gas turbines (1–100 MW). It discusses the design and performance criteria for both unfired and supplementary fired gas turbine exhaust heat recovery boilers of single and multiple pressure levels. Equations to assist in energy balances are included along with design features of heat recovery system components. The economic incentive to achieve the maximum practical heat recovery versus the impact on boiler design and capital cost are examined and discussed. It is intended that the information presented in this paper will be of use to individuals who are not intimately familiar with gas turbine heat recovery systems so that they can better specify and evaluate potential systems.

The design of a gas turbine exhaust heat recovery system (HRS) depends upon evaluating various parameters. Basically for an unfired heat recovery system the heat contained in the gas turbine exhaust is fixed and output is determined based on the system’s effectiveness. One of the design objectives is to maximize the output and thus maximize the effectiveness. However, increase in effectiveness will increase required heat transfer surface and thus the cost of the HRS. The increased cost (and benefits) must be evaluated to establish whether the higher effective system is economically justifiable. The evaluation criteria of a heat recovery system involves analysis of various design parameters. This paper presents the general design procedure, the effect of each parameter on the design and basic criteria used to develop the HRS design.

Gas turbine exhaust heat recovery systems have demonstrated the ability to attenuate acoustic energy without the benefit of sound absorbing materials. This paper describes the mechanisms utilized by heat recovery steam generators (HRSG) and by regenerators to reduce exhaust noise. Included is a semi-empirical method by which the attenuation of an HRSG can be predicted. Attenuations exhibited by the heat recovery equipment are in excess of 10 dB.

The design of a Heat Recovery Steam Generator behind a gas turbine depends upon various input parameters such as gas turbine exhaust flow, exhaust temperature, etc. Most of the input parameters are either measured with tolerances or calculated based on experimental correlations. The design of the heat recovery steam generator itself utilizes various correlations and empirical values. The errors or measurement tolerances in these variables affect the performance of the steam generator. This paper describes the various design parameters, the possible magnitude of errors in these parameters and the overall effect on the steam generator’s performance. By utilizing the information given in this paper, it is possible to develop a performance envelope based on the possible error margins of the input variables. The steam generator performance can be deemed acceptable if it is within this envelope.

Energy costs can be reduced in most large process plants by the use of turbines to supply power and heat. Performance characteristics of gas turbines, gas turbine exhaust heat boilers and combined gas-steam turbine cycles, plus the typical heat balance diagrams included in this paper will help the reader visualize economic applications for turbines in different industrial plants. The effect different fuels have on gas turbine maintenance (costs and downtime) and other application parameters are included. The information provided will permit the user to assess his own situation and then select the most economic fuel for a specific gas turbine application.

A unique method for silencing heavy-duty gas turbines is described. The Switchback exhaust silencer which utilizes no conventional parallel baffles has at operating conditions measured attenuation values from 20 dB at 63 Hz to 45 dB at higher frequencies. Acoustic testing and analyses at both ambient and operating conditions are discussed.
