What is supercritical boiler?

The following extract taken from an article by Ingo Paul in Energy Issues No 19 April 1999 published by the World Bank [external link] briefly describes the difference between a subcritical and a supercritical boiler. "Supercritical" is a thermodynamic expression describing the state of a substance where there is no clear distinction between the liquid and the gaseous phase (i.e. they are a homogenous fluid). Water reaches this state at a pressure above 22.1 megapascals (MPa) The "efficiency" of the thermodynamic process of a coal fired power (sic) describes how much of the energy fed into the cycle is converted into electrical energy. The greater the output of electrical energy for a given amount of energy input, the higher the efficiency. If the energy input to the cycle is kept constant, the output can be increased by selecting elevated pressures and temperatures for the water-steam cycle. Up to an operating pressure of around 19 MPa in the evaporator part of the boiler, the cycle is sub-critical. This means, that there is a non-homogeneous mixture of water and steam in the evaporator part of the boiler. In this case a drum-type boiler is used because the steam needs to be separated from water in the drum of the boiler before it is superheated and led into the turbine. Above an operating pressure of 22.1 MPa in the evaporator part of the boiler, the cycle is supercritical. The cycle medium is a single phase fluid with homogeneous properties and there is no need to separate steam from water in a drum. Once-through boilers are therefore used in supercritical cycles. www.whizkris.com
