Bulges in shield pipes of a TM-104A boiler with amine water treatment at the Shatura State Regional Electric Power Plant

  • Published:
Power Technology and Engineering Aims and scope

The state of the metal, oxide film, and sediments of shield (screen) pipes in the salt compartment of a TM-104A boiler operating with amine water treatment following damage by thermal bulges. It is shown that this damage is caused by excursions in the thermal flux onto components with high thermal resistance owing to sediments during firing. Recommendations are made for increasing operational reliability.
