Duct burner definition
Duct burner means a device that combusts fuel and that is placed in the exhaust duct from another source, such as a combined cycle combustion turbine, to allow the firing of additional fuel to heat the exhaust gases before the exhaust gases enter a heat recovery steam generating unit.
Duct burner means an item of equipment used with a combustion turbine or a stationary reciprocating engine to increase the steam generating capacity of heat recovery steam generators. A duct burner consists of pipes and small burners that are placed in the exhaust duct upstream of the heat recovery steam generator; the duct burner allows firing of fuel to supplement or replace the exhaust heat energy of the turbine or engine. A duct burner is a type of indirect heat exchanger.
Duct burner means a device that combusts fuel and that is placed in the exhaust duct from another source, such as a sta- tionary gas turbine, internal combustion engine, kiln, and other similar devices, to allow the firing of additional fuel to heat the exhaust gases before the exhaust gases enter a steam generating unit.
