Back Pressure Considerations (Gas Side)-These are important, as exces-sively high back-pressures create performance drops in gas turbines. Very low-pressure drops would require a very large heat exchanger and more expense. Typical pressure drops are 8-10 inches of water.
Supplementary Firing of .eat .ecovery Systems
There are several reasons for supplementary firing a wasteheat recovery unit. Probably the most common is to enable the system to track demand
(i.e., produce more steam when the load swings upwards, than the unfired unit can produce). This may enable the gas turbine to be sized to meet the base load demand with supplemental firing taking care of higher load swings. Figure 1-41 shows a schematic of a supplementary fired exhaust gas steam generator.
Raising the inlet temperature at the waste heat boiler allows a significantreduction in the heat transfer area and, consequently, the cost. Typically, as thegas turbine exhaust has ample oxygen, duct burners can be conveniently used.
An advantage of supplemental firing is the increase in heat recovery capability (recovery ratio). A 50% increase in heat input to the systemincreases the output94%, with the recovery ratio increasing by 59%. Some important design guidelines to ensure success include:
. Special alloys may be needed in the superheater and evaporator to withstand the elevated temperatures.
. The inlet duct must be of sufficient length to ensure complete combus-tion and avoid direct flame contact on the heat transfer surfaces.

.If natural circulation isutilized, an adequate number of risers and feeders must be provided as the heat flux at entry is increased.
. Insulation thickness on the duct section must be increased.
Instrumentation and Controls
The advanced gas turbines are all digitally controlled and incorporate on-line condition monitoring. The addition of new on-line monitoring requires new and smart instrumentation. The use of pyrometers to sense blade metal temperatures are being introduced. The blade metal temperatures are the real concern not the exit gas temperature. The use of dynamic pressure transducers for detection of surge and other flow instabilities in the com-pressor and also in the combustion process especially in the new Low N0xCombustors, are being introduced. Accelerometers are being introduced todetect high-frequency excitation of theblades, this prevents major failures in the new highly loaded gas turbines.
