CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Compressed Air Systems – Are You Blowing Your Profits ?
3. Compressed Air Systems
Whole System Approach to saving energy
Pipework, valves, design
Calculating air system’s annual costs
Finding leaks using ultrasonic detection methods
Fixing leaks
Good Housekeeping and staff involvement
4. Overview of how to save energy in a typical
compressed air system
Compressed air often referred to as the fourth utility.
Essential to many sectors as a safe, reliable and versatile source
of power.
Take a considerable amount of energy, generally in the form of
electricity, to produce clean, dry, pressurised air that is needed
for so many processes and applications.
5. Compressed Air
Typically, is 10% to 30% of an industrial company’s electricity bill
Some sectors it can equate to far more.
Makes sense to take targeted action and make your system more
efficient.
Reducing compressed air waste will:
• Save energy and costs
• Improve reliability and productivity
7. Compressed Air System
Every element of a compressed air
system impacts upon its energy
consumption.
A mistake to just concentrate on
one aspect of the system
To the exclusion of other sections.
Result in missed opportunities to
saving energy.
8. Efficient Compressor
Eg,Purchase the most efficient compressor on the market but connected it
to a system that has a 40% leak rate
All you are achieving is to produce waste more efficiently!
While the largest energy consuming component in the system is the air
compressor(s)
It is the demand by users, overall design and how well the system is
maintained that determines the demand placed on the compressor to
supply the system and therefore its energy consumption.
9. Compressed Air Pipework
Not all parts of the network operate the same hours
or to the same pressure, so save energy by zoning
the compressed air system.
• Split the system into zones and pressurise each
only as required
• Remove/isolate redundant piping so that it does
not leak out of hrs
10. Compressed Air - Valves
Widely used for isolating parts of the distribution network.
Best option - Ball valves cause almost zero pressure drop
when fully open
Not so good - Gate valve design causes pressure drop and
leaks when left partially open for convenience
Avoid - Diaphragm and globe valves cause the largest
pressure drop
11. Compressed Air – Good Design
All compressed air distribution pipelines to min. pressure
drop and allow for possible future expansion of the
compressed air system:
• Select large radius bends instead of elbows
• Support piping to minimise movement and sagging to
reduce leaks and build-up of fluids
12. Compressed Air Pipe size and energy losses
Installing a smaller pipe to save on the initial capital cost is a
false economy.
Smaller piping causes greater pressure drop across the
system, resulting in higher energy consumption and this
increased energy cost soon exceeds the price of larger
diameter piping.
13. General Rule – Pipe Diameters
Calculated based on having a max. air velocity of 6m/s,
in the main supply line.
In branch lines with a total length less than 15m,
velocities up to 15m/s are acceptable.
14. Pipe Systems
Two basic distribution systems for compressed air are single main and ring main.
For larger systems with numerous take-off points then a ring main is recommended.
Isolation valves can be fitted to isolate specific sections of the system for maintenance
purposes.
When selecting pipe material consider the alternatives to traditional galvanised steel, which
eventually corrodes and has a much rougher internal surface.
Smooth bore aluminium pipe (both tube and box types), stainless steel and specialised
plastics offer much lower friction and flow resistance to the air. This reduces pressure
drop and saves energy, plus these materials do not corrode
and potentially contaminate the air.
15. Calculating the system’s annual costs – Option 1
The actual electrical consumption of the compressor(s) in
kilowatt hours (kWh) can be obtained by sub-metering the
compressor house.
16. Calculating the system’s annual costs – Option 2
A quicker temporary solution is to install a data logging system over a period
of at least seven days.
This will determine:
• Pattern of demand (demand profile)
• Off load running time when there is no demand for air
In addition to add further information to help build a usage picture, you could
also incorporate flow monitoring into the system.
17. Calculating the system’s annual costs – Option 3
If no metering is in place, then you can estimate the energy
consumption of each compressor
Eg, A 75kW compressor operates at 7 bar.
It is on load for 65% of the production time (2,000 hrs/year).
Motor is assumed to be 90% efficient.
18. Calculating the system’s annual costs – Option 3
Energy consumption of the compressor whilst on load =
(75 ÷ 0.9) x 0.65 x 2,000 = 108,333 kWh/year
There is also energy consumption from the offload running, assuming for a screw compressor that a
part-loaded running draws 25% of the full load power:
(75 ÷ 0.9) x 0.35 x 0.25 x 2,000 = 14,583 kWh / year
Total energy consumption of the compressor = 122,916 kWh
19. Electricity Cost
For unit electricity of £0.12/kWh, the annual energy cost is £14,750.
If production time is 6,000 hours per year, this increases to £44,250/year.
For older or less efficient compressors where the offload electrical draw can be nearer
70% of on load power (not 25% as in the example), then the annual energy cost for
2,000 hr operation increases from £14,750 to £17,900 per year.
Another method for estimating energy consumption of compressors is to use the max.
rated package power, a figure available from the manufacturer.
20. Calculating System’s Annual Costs - Summary
The cost of the compressor, not the system.
However, it is a starting point and helps you understand the
scale of expenditure
Examine the entire compressed air
system to maximise energy savings
21. Compressed Air Leaks
All compressed air systems have leaks.
Leaks are often ignored since they are not an immediate H&S hazard
Reducing air leaks is the single most important energy saving measure you can take.
A high leak rate causes fluctuations in pressure, resulting in hidden costs such as
slower running or the stalling of production lines
creates a noisy environment for staff.
22. Common leakage sources are
Air-using equipment left running when not needed
Manual condensate drain valves left open
Leaking hoses and couplings
Leaking pipes and pipe joints
23. Estimate your leak rate as a percentage of
total demand,
Carry out the load /no load cycle test
This is easily done with a stopwatch to find the percentage of time the
compressor is on-load when there is no demand for air.
24. Estimating a Compressed Air System’s Leak
Rate Using the Load /No Load Cycle Test.
1. Use a timer e.g. stopwatch to measure the time (T) that the compressor is actually
delivering air (on-load).
2. Repeat this for the duration of time (t) that the compressor is off-load.
3. Repeat these measurements through at least four cycles to obtain accurate average
values.
Note: If the air compressor actually switches off and on, then this is
straightforward.
If the machine keeps running but uses an off-loading mechanism, then listento the
tone of the compressor as it cycles between the two states.
25. Estimating a Compressed Air System’s Leak
Rate Using the Load /No Load Cycle Test.
4. Note the delivery capacity of the air compressor (Q) from the nameplate or literature.
5. Use the following formula to determine the leak rate, Qleak which will have the same
units as Q (e.g. litres/s or m3/min):
Qleak = Q x T/(T+t)
26. Identifying and Measuring leaks
Initially conduct an out of hours survey and walk the site
listening for leaks.
Confirm the location by using any of the following
methods: ultrasonic leak detector, a soap solution
brushed onto pipe fittings, or a leak detection spray.
Handheld ultrasonic leak detectors are the best way to
detect leaks whilst production is running.

29. TURBULENT FLOW & ULTRASONIC WAVE
ULTRASONIC DETECTION-WHY?
Turbulence in the flow of fluids and gases emit high levels of
ultrasonic waves. In an industrial plant, pressurized leaks in
pneumatic air lines, steam lines and vacuum lines emit
ultrasonic waves.
Internal leaks in valves, steam traps and hydraulic systems
also produce ultrasonic waves as well as mechanical wear
in bearings and gears.
Ultrasonic waves are very strong at the leak origin and
decrease with distance. They are also very directive.
For years, ultrasonic inspection techniques have been used
in plant maintenance programs to reduce energy costs and
increase equipment reliability.

53. Leak Management Programme
Tag the leaks and record on a site plan
Grade the priorities - it could be as simple as 1,2,3
Fix the largest leaks first
Encourage users to report leaks
Repair all leaks as soon as practicable
Leaks need to be monitored constantly. Carry out a leak survey at least 3 – 4 times a
year to keep the problem under control.
If you have insufficient in-house resources, speak to Logis-Tech Associates
54. Leaks Repaired – Pressure Drop
Once leaks are repaired, check the pressure drop from the compressor to points
of use as you may be able to reduce the generation pressure at the compressor.
Otherwise fixing leaks could increase the pressure and the predicted savings
will not be realised.
Also the increased pressure could create more new leaks.
In order to monitor the leakage rate, consider installing permanent flow
metering.
This is also an effective way of identifying any changes in consumption which
need further investigation.
55. Good housekeeping and staff involvement
Many users are unaware that the compressed air generated is not free and
therefore ignore leaks and use air indiscriminately.
You should involve your staff in identifying where compressed air is wasted
and how they can help by reporting the problem and making suggestions.
The main areas of wasted usage to target are:
Leaks
Leaving air consuming equipment running during breaks
Using compressed air lines for cleaning down benches and
equipment
56. Draw up a Usage Policy
Appoint someone with overall responsibility to ensure
coordination and implement an action plan to:
• Raise awareness of all those who use compressed air
• Establish compressed air costs
• Set targets for reducing avoidable waste
57. Switch off the Compressor When There
is No Demand
Do not leave compressors on overnight if there is no demand for air because electricity
will be consumed to feed leaks.
Even when off-load, compressors can consume up to 70% of their full load power.
Fewer running hours will also reduce maintenance costs.
• Check that compressors are switched off when not needed and are not switched on earlier
than necessary
• Check time switch settings regularly
Note: Ensure that when automatically shutting down the compressor, that other
plant areas are not affected
58. Maintain the whole system
Effective maintenance is essential to energy efficiency.
Cutting back on maintenance is a false economy, because doing so increases
the energy consumed, decreases service life and reduces equipment
reliability. In addition, the law requires all systems operating at greater than
0.5 bar with an air receiver installed, to comply with the Pressure Systems
Safety Regulations 2000 (PSSR).
Reg. 12 of the PSSR requires that compressed air equipment be properly
maintained to minimise health and safety risks associated with a pressurised
system
