Stress and stability calculation of the third pass module of the steam boiler during lifting

  • 1 University of Slavonski Brod, Croatia

Abstract

This paper presents the calculation of the stress and stability of a third-cycle module of a steam boiler during the lifting process. A steam boiler is a key element of a cogeneration plant, so all calculations are performed according to prescribed standards. Before the numerical analysis of the steam boiler, the characteristics, components and function of the boiler are described, as well as the required standards. The 3D model of the boiler was created using the Abaqus/CAE 2016 program package according to the manufacturer’s technical documentation. Using the finite element method, the stresses and stability during lifting of the boiler from the horizontal and vertical positions were calculated and presented. It was found that when lifting from a horizontal position, the structural stress values of the main elements do not exceed the allowable values. On the other hand, when lifting from a vertical position, the stresses exceed the allowable values. In this case, the connection point between the lug and the profile was checked and analytically dimensioned. The obtained values of the stability analysis of the boiler module are satisfactorily defined and there is no risk of buckling in both cases of lifting. The boiler conforms with the standard and fulfils the requirements handed over to the engineer.
