Abstract:
The experiments on two-phase flow instabilities in parallel vertical internally ribbed tubes were conducted to investigate the hydrodynamic flow characteristics under low mass flux conditions in a 600 MW super-critical W-shaped flame boiler. Two kinds of oscillations, pressure drop oscillation (PDO) and density wave oscillation (DWO), were observed. The influences of pressure, mass flux, inlet sub-cooling, compressible volume, exit throttling, and asymmetric heat flux on the two-phase instability were explored and analyzed. The results show that the PDO occurred at lower exit quality and in the negative slope portion of the Δp-G curves with the in-phase oscillating of both channel flow rates, and DWO occurred at higher exit quality and in the positive slope portion of the Δp-G curves with the out-phase oscillating of channel flow rates. Based on the testing results and the homogeneous model, the threshold expressions of instability were obtained. It is suggested that these findings may be used in the water wall design and its safe operation in super-critical boilers.
