It is important that overheat protection of super heated tube in boiler operation and maintenance. The overheat of super heat tube can make damage and rupture of tube material, which causes accidental shutdown of boiler. The super heated tube overheat is almost due to the lack of uniformity of gas temperature distribution. There are two ways to protect overheat of super heated tube. The one is to control hot gas operation pattern which is temperature or flow distribution. the other is to control super heated steam flow distribution. The former is difficult than the later, because of control device design. In this paper steam flow control method which uses orifices is proposed to protect overheat of super heat tube.

This study presents an experimental investigation of the wear and oxidation of the bristles of a brush seal in a super-heated steam environment. We construct a model reflecting normal force and radial interference to predict the amount of wear. To monitor the volume loss of the bristle induced by the swirl phenomenon of the rotor, we measure the clearance between the rotor and the brush seal by using a non-contact 3-D device. We calculate the area by using the area-wise measurement method. Considering the obvious brush seal wear variables, we use two disks with different roughness($Ra=0.1{\mu}m$ and $100{\mu}m$) to determine the effect of roughness on wear. Considering an actual steam turbine, we utilize a steam generator and super-heater to generate a working fluid (0.95MPa, 523.15K) that has high kinetic energy. We observe the abrasion of the bristles in the hot steam environment through a scanning electron microscope image. This study also conducted energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis for a qualitative evaluation of local chemistry. The results indicate that the wear and elimination of bristles occur on the disk with high roughness, and the weight increases due to oxidation. Furthermore these results, reveal that the bristle oxidation is accelerated more under super-heated steam conditions than under conditions without steam.

System-Integrated Modular Advanced Reactor (SMART), where major primary components such as modular helical steam generator and self regulating pressurizer are integrated into reactor vessel, is currently under development. The pressurizer is designed to control the primary pressure mainly with partial pressure of nitrogen gas and to maintain the fluid temperature as low as possible for the purpose of minimizing steam contribution. The steam generator (SG) is designed to produce super-heated steam inside tube at power operation. Because the in-vessel pressurizer and in-vessel SG are classified as the characteristic components of SMART, it is important to perform a steady state calculation of these components in order to evaluate the adoption of these components. A steady state analysis of the in-vessel pressurizer and in-vessel SG has been performed under normal power operation and the results show an acceptable performance of the components.

Desuperheater is a passive device to control the temperature of steam in various plants. However, in spite of its simple structure, the accurate prediction of a desuperheater is very difficult because there are many designed factors for the design of a desuperheater. In this study, the theory of heat transfer phenomena in a desuperheater was developed and the various design factors are evaluated. As a results, we confirmed that the droplet size of 30 - 200 is best effective for the performance of a desuperheater.

Degradation of the organic component in the waste were carried out by superheated steam in a pressurized vessel. The effects of waste characteristics, reaction temperature and residence time on the degradation rate have been determined. The biodegradable organic components such as food and paper waste have been degraded, and plastics, wood and metal were remained without degradation. The degradation efficiency is decided by the desizing rate of the waste, and the waste mixture with 23% biodegradable organic component shows higher desizing rate than that of the 43% of the biodegradable organic component in a short residence time and the desizing rate is found to be 90% in the maximum condition.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of steaming on mechanical properties of heat-compressed wood specimens. The specimens for this mechanical strength tests were prepared to super-heated steam treatment after compression to the radial direction of sonamu (Pinus densiflora). The specimen's size is $50(L)mm{\times}20(R)mm{\times}17(T)mm$. Steaming temperature and treatment time is $120^{\circ}C$ and 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 minutes, respectively. Modulus of elasticity(MOE) in compressive test is directly proportional to steaming time. On the other hand, modulus of elasticity in bending test between steaming and not steaming after heat-compressed wood is similar irrespective of steaming time. The reason for this phenomenon is not clear yet.

This paper presents an innovative prototype of a new conceptual electromagnetic induction-based fluid beating appliance using voltage-fed type scries capacitor-compensated load resonant high-frequency IGBT inverter with a phase-shifted PWM and a power factor correction schemes. Its operating characteristics in steady-state are illustrated including unique features and evaluated on the basis of its computer simulation and experimental results of 10kw breadboard appliance for hot water producer and superheated steamer. The promising cost effective inverter-fed boiler appliances for electromagnetic induction-heated type fluid-heating in the pipeline systems are proposed for induction-heated boiler, super heat steamer, high temperature water producer, hot gas producer and metal catalyst heating for exhaust gas cleaning in engine, which are more suitable and acceptable for industrial, chemical, and consumer energy utilization for household and business from a practical point of view.

Boilers, which are considered to be one of the basic equipment in industry, consume large potion of nation's petroleum and their demand is growing everyday. In recent, the technology improvement in production of high efficiency boilers and their effective utilization is needed for design of boiler which steam condition is the large capacity of high temperature and high pressure. It is necessary that boiler control system be studied for high efficiency, high reliability and smooth operation. The control of drum pressure and water level particularly becomes an important task for greater accuracy with the avail ability of boiler operation. To achieve this aim, dynamic analysis of a boiler is accomplished by choosing a boiler as a model. Transfer function thus obtained is made a comparison of measurement with reckoning to technical design data. The results of comparison makes it possible to verify thermodynamical analysis on the dynamic behavior of the overall system.

This study was carried out to find the efficient methods for preventing resin exudation from spruce board during high temperature environment service.In the dry-air oven test, in-use temperature related to resin exudation of 110℃ could be obtained by the appropriate kiln drying without any special treatment, and the in-use temperature of the radio-frequency/vacuum (RF/V)-dried boards was about 20℃ higher than that of the conventional kiln-dried boards.In the autoclave test, resin exudation was not found from any board dried in the conventional kiln and in the RF/V kiln after the low pressure steam explosion (SE) treating, while for the control resin exudations were more severe in the autoclave test above 130℃ than in the dry-air oven test. It, therefore, would be suggested that resin exudation during high temperature service condition can be prevented more effectively by super-heated steaming green boards than by high-temperature drying boards with low moisture.
