Users have found that in the presence of even low levels of sul­ fur—such as when firing No. 2 fuel oil— stack temperatures must be kept above 330°F to avoid acid-gas corrosion. 'I i r-

On the typical P22 steam header, cold-start fetigue damage may be 30 to 40 times that caused by a hot start because of the “con­ densate quench” phenomenon. Merchant developers need to pay par­ !! ticular attention to tube life, stack corro­ sion, and other HRSG operating issues because of the need for cycling capabil­ ity in today’s competitive market. The HRSG’s increased physical size, elevated gas temperature, and tougher steam conditions—when coupled to advanced GTs—have also substantially increased thermal stresses and fatigue damage, par­ • I ticularly in the superheater section.
