Estimate HRSG performance quickly
Heat recovery steam generators (HRSG) are coupled to a heat recovery source which exhausts hot gases, such as gas turbines, furnaces, kilns, etc., to generate steam for the plant's process or power needs. When two pieces of equipment are coupled, their performances may not match their respective design or maximum efficiency points due to varying plant load or steam demand. In addition, many plants require the HRSG to operate effectively over the entire operating range of the plant. In chemical and fertilizer plants, hot gas is cooled in the HRSG to the required limiting temperature. In plants using gas turbines, even ambient conditions will affect HRSG performance indirectly. So a plant engineer should be able to predict the HRSG performance at any design point called for by the plant's load or steam demand.
