According to EPRI conferences, improving feedwater heater reliability included the consideration for the use of a long partial pass drainscooler in horizontal feedwater heaters. The results of these reports was a recommendation by EPRI to utilize the long drains cooler design for greater reliability over, what is now typical, short drains cooler design.
Why is the long drains cooler feedwater heater more reliable than a short drains cooler feedwater heater? The long drains cooler feedwater heater design is more robust and less sensitive to low pressure and off load operations. In addition, by design, there is no drainscooler end plate. Eliminating the drainscooler end plate from the feedwater heater will eliminate the potential for many problems associated with the short drains cooler feedwater heater. Submerging the shroud will also reduce the high cost of shroud welding issues.
Why is the short drains cooler feedwater heater design not as reliable as a long drains cooler feedwater heater? The short drains cooler feedwater heater has provided reasonable service, however there have been many feedwater heaters replaced due issues with the design and operations associated with the drains cooler. Issues such as high drainscooler approach, shroud weld failure, water hammer within outlet piping and tube failures are just a few of the problems associated with the short drains cooler. Another major issue with the short drains cooler is with regards to the drains cooler end plate. steam in leakage through the tube annulus in the drains cooler end plate or through inadequate welding of the zone shrouds will result in tube failures within the zone.
When it comes time to build your power plant, or replace existing feedwater heaters, let AM-EX design you the most reliable, cost effective, feedwater heaters.
Please inquire with the author of this blog for full details regarding the long drains cooler design, and how it is applicable to your needs.
