Abstract
A system for controlling steam temperature that includes steam circuit including a reheater circuit, at least one reheater dilution region, at least one reheater dilution conduit, and at least one reheater supply region disposed upstream of the at least one reheater dilution region, wherein the at least one reheater supply region and the at least one reheater dilution region are associated via the reheater circuit and the at least one reheater dilution conduit.
Claims12
A system for controlling steam temperature the system comprising:
- a steam circuit including a reheater circuit;
- at least one reheater dilution region;
- at least one reheater dilution conduit;
- and
- at least one reheater supply region disposed upstream in said steam circuit of said at least one reheater dilution region, wherein said at least one reheater supply region and said at least one reheater dilution region are in direct fluid communication via each of said reheater circuit and said at least one reheater dilution conduit.
A system for controlling steam temperature, the system comprising:
- a steam circuit including at least one dilution region and at least one supply region;
- at least one cooling area;
- and
- at least one cooling conduit, wherein said at least one dilution region and said at least one supply region are in direct fluid communication via each of said steam circuit and said at least one cooling conduit, and wherein said at least one cooling conduit is at least partially disposed within said at least one cooling area.
A method for controlling steam temperature, the method comprising:
- disposing at least one reheater dilution region in direct fluid communication with at least one reheater supply region via each of a reheater circuit included in a steam circuit and at least one reheater dilution conduit;
- and
- attemperating reheat steam within said at least one reheater dilution region of said steam circuit with steam from said at least one reheater supply region of said steam circuit, wherein said at least one reheater supply region is disposed upstream of said reheater dilution region.
A method for controlling steam temperature, the method comprising:
- disposing at least one dilution region in direct fluid communication with at least one supply region via each of a steam circuit and at least one cooling conduit;
- and
- attemperating steam within said at least one dilution region of said steam circuit with steam from said at least one cooling conduit, wherein said at least one cooling conduit is disposed at least partially within at least one cooling area.
