New information from recent field experiences at large modern combined cycle plants is incorporated that provides expanded discussion and enhanced visual aids of these topical issues:

This reference continues to provide essential information for maintenance managers, plant engineers and operations managers responsible for maintaining HRSG reliability at combined cycle plants throughout the world. Use this practical guide to provide rapid identification and diagnosis of tube failures in combined cycle power plants with Heat Recovery Steam Generators. The Guide addresses damage mechanisms that affect HRSG tubes including:

A concise description is provided to assist the maintenance, operations or plant engineer with the identification of these important failure mechanisms. Guidance is included to enhance diagnosis, including recommended visual and nondestructive inspection techniques applicable to the specific mechanism and steps to establish the root cause of failure. Further guidance specifies when outside laboratory evaluations are warranted and the minimum information needed to confirm the failure mechanism. General guidance is also provided for conducting root cause evaluations including important considerations in sample removal and preservation. Additional high quality images and illustrations from HRSG Failure Analyses performed by Tetra Engineering are included to provide typical examples of these significant damage mechanisms.

Drawn from our extensive experience in performing HRSG inspections and performance assessments, the HRSG Inspection Planning Guide provides plant personnel with concise and practical guidance for planning and executing HRSG inspections. The objective is to give the inspector the means to effectively identify current problem areas, recognize damage mechanisms and to focus inspection efforts as a function of the plant operating history. The following areas are covered :

Effective approaches for identifying high-risk locations are discussed for major pressure part damage mechanisms including superheaters/reheaters, evaporators and economizers, feedwater pre-heaters and external feedwater piping. The guide also covers structural supports (hangers and tube bundle restraints), supplemental firing systems, SCR and ammonia injection grids, CO catalysts as well as insulation and casing components.

As a companion to our popular HRSG Tube Failure Diagnostic Guide the HRSG Inspection Planning Guide adopts a similar approach with use of flow charts, punch lists of important factors that affect inspection planning and informative case histories.

The 2nd edition is updated with additional valuable information drawn from the numerous field inspections performed by Tetra Engineering staff on horizontal and vertical gas path HRSGs since the last edition was released. There is expanded coverage on inspecting drums and deaerators, additional material on failure modes and mechanisms, more information relating to inspections of vertical gas path units and added case studies from field inspections.

Englisches Original und deutsche Übersetzung.

Das Buch ist das Ergebnis langjähriger Erfahrung, es ist bestimmt für Kraftwerksleiter, Betriebs- und Wartungsingenieure. Sie finden in ihm eine ausführliche Liste von Schadensmechanismen, die Rohre in Abhitzedampferzeugern betreffen können, unter anderem:

Diese Schadensmechanismen werden detailliert beschrieben, um Kraftwerksleitern, Betriebs- und Wartungsingenieuren Hilfe bei ihrer Erkennung zu bieten. Es werden visuelle und zerstörungsfreie Prüfungsverfahren zur Bestimmung der jeweiligen Schadensmechanismen empfohlen und Schritt für Schritt-Verfahren zur Feststellung der Hauptschadensursache gegeben. Weiterhin wird beschrieben, wann externe Laboranalysen ratsam sind und welche Informationen mindestens benötigt werden, um den Schadensmechanismus eindeutig festzustellen. Das Handbuch enthält große Bilder aus Schadensanalyseprojekten, die von Tetra Engineering durchgeführt wurden. Sie zeigen typische Beispiele der bedeutensden Schadensmechanismen.
