Abstract

Technology for pressurized, high-temperature, ceramic-tube heat exchangers is being established by materials evaluation, design, and fabrication studies followed by rig tests. Candidate ceramic materials have been surveyed for strength, environmental reactions with coal ash, and other design properties. Design and fabrication studies of joining methods were responsible for selection of the chosen heat exchanger configuration. A full-length, twenty eight-tube, 4.56 m (15 ft), ceramic-tube heat exchanger with an 11.43-cm (4.5 in.)-dia ceramic header has been successfully tested with a 1232/sup 0/ C (2250/sup 0/ F) outlet temperature at 689 kPa (100 psi). Hot side gas temperature during this test was 1370/sup 0/ C (2500/sup 0/ F). This module has been operated for approximately 125 hrs including operation with a pulverized coal combustor.

Ceramic-heat-exchanger technology. Final report

Technical Report Ward, M; Kubasco, A

Technology for pressurized, high-temperature, ceramic-tube heat exchangers is being established by environmental, design, and fabrication studies. The design study included the finite-element stress analysis of the ceramic components contained in the DOE Ceramic Heat Exchanger Test Module. This test module contains twenty-eight, 4.56-m(15 ft)-long ceramic tubes with a 11.43-cm(4.5 in.)-dia ceramic header. It has been operated successfully for 125 h up to firing temperatures of 1700/sup 0/K (2600/sup 0/F) and outlet air temperatures of 1533/sup 0/K (2300/sup 0/F) at 689.4 kPa (100 psia). This unit was then fired with a pulverized-coal burner under EPRI sponsorship for 25 h.

Technical Report

This research program was initiated because of the potential of using high temperature ceramic components for direct coal fired advanced utility power systems offering greatly improved efficiency and reduced component cost and maintenance. The program investigated important questions relative to the use of ceramics for this application. The material investigated was siliconized silicon carbide. The results achieved included: Identification of system performance requirements, combustor/heat exchanger module dimensions and layout, and the required critical component research; fabrication of U-bend tubes, tube-to-header joints, tube-to-tube joints and a ten-tube heat exchanger module that was tested at temperature; proved helium containment at 2250/sup 0/Fmore »« less

Ceramic tube heat exchanger technology

Journal Article

Technology for the design and fabrication of ceramic tube heat exchangers has been advanced significantly as a result of a recently concluded DOE Program at Solar Turbines International in San Diego, California. The objectives were to develop and identify technologies enabling the construction of a full-size, pressurized, high-temperature ceramic heat exchanger module. The program encompassed material strength screening tests, coal environment materials interaction tests, joining technology, heat exchanger module design, construction, and operations. The material evaluations included environmental studies on tubes and joints up to 2500/sup 0/F in typical combustion atmospheres for times up to 1000 hours.
