Description

This Code provides instructions on conducting tests of fuel fired steam generators, using H/C fuels. It can be used to determine performance characteristics such as efficiency, capacity and output.
Code provides rules instructions conducting performance tests fuel fired steam generators. include coal, oil, gas generators well hydrocarbon fuels. scope also includes integral fuel-sulfur capture utilizing chemical sorbents. not may tested using concepts code, noted uncertainty caused variability difficult determine likely greater uncertainties sampling analysis gas. example, turbine heat recovery designed operate supplemental firing accordance ptc 4.4. testing auxiliary equipment addressed covered 4.2, 4.3 11. prescribe procedures physical properties specifically addresses used generation steam; however, basic principles presented applicable working fluids. certain types sizes released combustion specific test code. can general guide developing equipment; developed shall considered asme tests. combustible generator tests; cannot possibly provide detailed every design variation. variations subcritical supercritical once-through gas, stoker, cyclone, pulverized, fluidized bed firing. test, competent engineer must study actual relation remainder cycle, develop consistent report prepared.
