Low Pressure Turbine Bypass Valve NBSE

For over 30 years the NBSE from Sulzer Valves provides high reliability and accurate control in one steam conditioning valve.

The Rugged, Compact Steam Conditioning Solution The NBSE Turbine Bypass Valve by CCI is the standard turbine bypass valve for intermediate pressure bypass systems of combined cycle power plants and low pressure bypass systems of subcritical and supercritical steam cycles. The design is based on proven Sulzer Valves technology, the leader in turbine bypass for power plants for many, many years. Featuring an integrated spring-loaded spraywater nozzle desuperheating manifold at the valve outlet, the NBSE minimizes the downstream desuperheating distance making it suitable for bypass-to-condenser applications with short pipe runs. The contoured body shape has been designed to avoid material concentrations and abrupt changes of wall thickness, minimizing thermal stress in the valve.
Water-injection nozzle provides smallest water droplet size possible

In addition, the NBSE is available as a combined control and safe shutoff valve according to TRD 421. Spring-Loaded Nozzle Desuperheating NBSE desuperheating features integral spring-loaded water injection nozzles that optimize water injection over a wide range of flow rates at low pressures. With a rangeability of up to 50:1, the spring-loaded water injection nozzles vary the water flow area required to achieve the fine water droplet size needed for atomization. The spring-loaded water injection nozzle design provides the smallest water droplet size possible without steam assist. Small-Drilled-Hole Cage Technology The NBSE Turbine Bypass Valve uses Small-Drilled-Hole Cage (SDHC) technology to provide system noise attenuation through frequency shifting. Frequency shifting is a proven method of noise attenuation recognized by ISA in Technical Standard SP75.07 and by the IEC in Technical Standard 5348-3. In frequency shifting, the main flow stream is separated into hundreds of tiny jets. The size of the jets, which are primarily based on hole size, determines the resulting noise frequency the smaller the size of the jet or drilled hole, the higher the frequency which in turn produces a lower dBA level. Small-Drilled-Hole Cage technology is well suited for intermediate pressure combined cycle and low pressure drum boiler turbine bypass applications requiring reliability with moderate noise performance. Unlike traditional drilled hole cages, the SDHC trim uses over one thousand small drilled holes spaced apart in a special pattern designed to ensure full jet separation, structural integrity, and noise attenuation. All drilled hole technology is not the same large drilled holes do not shift the frequency high enough, and improper spacing between drilled holes allows the jets to rejoin and form larger jets after exiting the cage. The conical flow diffuser shape limits vibration by increasing the structural strength when compared to cylindrical cages.

Highly reliable, fast, accurate pneumatic and hydraulic actuators provide superior system control.

Accurate Control and Available TRD 421 Safety Function CCIs long history of developing advanced technology valves and actuation systems for severe service and safety-related applications has led to the development of the most reliable actuation systems available today. CCI has supplied pneumatic and hydraulic actuation systems for over 30 years and has an extensive installed global base. In addition, if equipped with the necessary safety control devices in combination with the CCI hydraulic actuation system, the NBSE can be used as a combined control and safe shutoff valve according to TRD 421. The selection of pneumatic or hydraulic actuation is primarily a function of valve design for the particular application as well as customer preference. A comparison of the factors influencing actuator selection is given in Table 1. Improve Plant Efficiency Eliminate Lost Steam During normal operation, any leakage past a turbine bypass valve means lost revenue.
g

Steam that does not go through the turbine does not generate electricity or revenue for the plant. Money spent generating the steam is lost. Steam leaking past a valve seat could erode the seat and cause an increase in the leakage rate and maintenance downtime. Steam leaking past a valve to condenser could reduce the efficiency of the condenser by deteriorating the vacuum and raising the condenser temperature.
