    Dual Pressure (Double Evaporation) Boilers: Secondary Drum

    Uploaded by

    Meghanath Adkonkar
    Dual pressure boilers allow for high efficiency watertube boilers to be used safely even with contamination risks. The design uses a main boiler to heat water in a secondary steam drum, producing steam for requirements. Pressures are typically 63 bar for the primary circuit and 23.5 for the secondary. This more expensive design is used on larger ships with waste heat units capable of supplying all steam needs, including powering an alternator.

    Dual Pressure (double evaporation)

    Boilers
    The main reason for the adoption of this design of boilers is to allow use of
    modern high efficiency watertube boilers without fear of damage through
    contamination by cargo or fuel oils.

    The basic design consists of a D-Type boiler design upon which is


    mounted a Steam/Steam generator drum. The steam generated by the main
    boiler heats water in the Steam/Steam generator which produces steam
    requirements.

    The primary drum is initially filled with high quality feed water and
    suitably dosed. Make up is limited to small amounts due to leakage therefore
    the feed pump may be of simple design. An example could be a steam or air
    driven reciprocating pump. The chemical treatment is simple with little
    requirement for addition or blowdown.

    The above design shows the fitting of a superheater. These are


    normally only fitted where the generated steam will be required to power
    turbine operated machinery most typically an alternator.

    Secondary drum.
    The U-tube heating elements are passed through the manhole door and
    expanded into headers welded into the dished end of the drum. The tubes are
    well supported. A manhole may be fitted at the lower part of the shell allows
    access to the heating elements.

    The drum is generally mounted integral, supports are attached to


    the structure of the primary boiler. The secondary drum also acts as a steam
    receiver for the exhaust gas boiler. Typical pressures are 63 bar for the
    primary circuit and 23.5 for the secondary.

    The author has not sailed with pressures anywhere near this with this
    design. Primary pressures of 35bar and secondary pressures nearer 15 bar
    have proven sufficient even to drive an alternator. Of note is that these
    designs are obviously more expensive than a normal single steam drum
    plant even taking into account the improved efficiency. They are therefore
    generally associated with larger motor powered plant with large waste heat
    units capable of supplying all requirements including an alternator.
    However the author has sailed on this plant on a 20,000 tonne product
    tanker.

    Where these boilers are installed in Motorships a "simmering coil"


    may be fitted. This is located in the primary drum and is supplied from the
    exhaust economiser to keep both circuits warm thereby preventing any
    possible damage due to lay-up.

    Mountings are those typically found on any boiler with low level
    water alarms and low/low level shut off on both boilers. The accumulation of
    pressure test for the safety valves fitted to the secondary drum are calculated
    with the primary boiler firing at maximum rate generating maximum heating
    steam supply.

    Typical circuit incorporating Dual Pressure Boiler


    Under port conditions the main boiler is fired to providing heating
    steam for the secondary drum. From this steam is supplied for tank heating or
    to a turbo-alternator via a superheater.

    When the vessel is underway the main boiler may stop firing. A
    waste heat circulating pump passes water from the secondary drum via the
    waste heat unit back to the drum. The steam produced is again available for
    tank heating and powering a turbo-alternator.

    Cross over valves are fitted for Harbour and sea-duty conditions.
