Performance simulation of heat recovery steam generators in a cogeneration system
The performance simulation of heat recovery steam generators in a cogeneration system has been investigated to see the effect of pinch and approach points on steam generation and also on temperature profiles across the heat recovery steam generator. The effects of operating conditions on steam production and also on exit gas temperature from the heat recovery steam generator are discussed. Low pinch point results in improved heat recovery steam generator performance due to reduced irreversibilities. The supplementary firing enhances the steam production.
