ASME PTC 46 PDF

Description

ASME PTC 46 provides explicit methods and procedures for combined cycle power plants and for most gas, liquid, and solid fueled Rankine cycle plants.
Code applies plant size. can used measure performance normal operating condition, equipment clean fully functional condition. provides explicit methods procedures combined cycle power plants gas, liquid, solid fueled rankine plants. no intent restrict use types heat plants, providing met. example, equations test herein applicable steam portion solar plant, nuclear cycle. refer asme ptc 47 block thermal associated igcc (integrated gasification cycle). not apply component testing, gas turbines (asme 22) 6 6.2) individual components. particular cogeneration facility accordance code, following must met: (a) means available determine, either direct indirect measurements, inputs entering boundary electrical secondary outputs leaving boundary; (b) parameters correct results base reference condition; (c) result uncertainties less equal given subsection 1-3 type; (d) working fluid vapor cycles steam. restriction imposed only extent fluids may require measurements measurement different provided cycles. tests addressing performance-related issues outside scope code. include following: emissions tests: testing verify compliance regulatory levels (e.g., airborne gaseous particulate, wastewater, noise, etc.), required calibration certification emission-monitoring systems. operational demonstration various standard typically conducted startup, periodically thereafter, demonstrate specified capabilities minimum load operation, automatic control ramp rate, fuel switching capability, etc.). reliability extended period days weeks capability produce output level availability. methods, calculations, corrections design conditions included designing however, address type terms acceptance criteria. 46 46, codes, overall
