Embodiment Construction

[0034] Reference is now made to the drawings, in which like reference numerals designate identical or functionally similar parts.

[0035] The present invention employs the vertical steam / water separation apparatus described in US Patent No. 6,336,429 to Wiener et al. to separate steam from the steam-water mixture produced by the shop-assembled solar absorber heat exchanger of the present invention. The text of the above-mentioned US Patent No. 6,336,429 to Wiener et al. is incorporated herein as if fully set forth herein. That vertical steam / water separator is structurally and fluidly connected to the heating surface of this shop-assembled solar absorber heat exchanger as part of the shop-assembled design described herein.

[0036] In order to understand the present invention some familiarity with certain terms and principles of heat exchanger, boiler and / or steam generator technology may be required, for which the reader is referred to Steam / its generation and use, Part 40, ...

Abstract

A shop-assembled solar receiver heat exchanger having an arrangement of heat transfer surfaces and a vertical steam/water separator structurally and fluidically interconnected thereto. A vertical support structure is provided to support the vertical separator and the heat transfer surfaces. The vertical support structure is bottom supported, while the vertical steam/water separator and heat exchanger heat transfer surfaces are top supported from the vertical support structure. The vertical support structure provides structural support and rigidity for the heat exchanger and a means by which the heat exchanger can be picked up and lifted for placement at a desired location. A fabrication/transport/lifting fixture is provided which facilitates fabrication, assembly, transportation and erection of the heat exchanger from the shop to the field. The fixture supports two trunnion shafts attached to the support structure of the receiver Lifting lugs would be located on the top end of the support structure.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 197,169 filed October 24, 2008, the text of which is incorporated herein as if fully set forth herein. technical field [0003] This invention relates generally to the field of power generation and industrial boiler design, including various boilers, steam generators and heat exchangers for producing steam, such as steam for power generation or steam for industrial use, and more particularly, the present invention It relates to a shop-assembled solar absorber heat exchanger with an integral support structure. Background technique [0004] The solar absorber is the primary device of a solar power generation system that uses sunlight as a heat source to produce high-quality steam that drives a turbogenerator and ultimately generates electricity. The absorber is permanently mounted on top of an elevated support tower suitably mounted on a...
