Feed Water Heater

Feed Water Heater Manufacturer

The needs of the power generation industry include year-in and year-out reliability, optimum performance for maximum efficiency, and absolute on-time delivery to meet plant outage schedules. AAHANA Giffard system has superior technology and competitiveness for the basic and detailed design of LP&HP Feedwater Heaters which are installed in the thermoelectric, nuclear power plant. AAHANA carries out the vibration, stress analysis, and fatigue analysis to provide customers with improved quality and confidence.

All of the AAHANA Feed Water Heaters are designed in accordance with HEI standards, TEMA, and ASME Section VIII code. AAHANA uses state-of-the-art computer programs to perform the thermal-hydraulic and mechanical design of each feed water heater we fabricate. AAHANA designs and manufactures both low-pressure and high-pressure feed water heaters which may be installed either vertically or horizontally, depending on the plant design requirements.

Each AAHANA Feed water heater will contain from one to three separate heat transfer areas of zones including the Condensing, De-superheating, and Sub-cooling zones. Our heaters can be provided with multiple zones within the shell side:

  • Condensing Zone – Included in all heaters, steam is condensed in this zone and non-condensable gases are removed.
  • Drain Cooling Zone – Reduces temperature of drains leaving the condensing zone to below the saturation temperature. AAHANA Giffard system is able to provide both full-flow and partial flow drain cooling zones to meet specific plant requirements. DC zones can be applied in any horizontal or vertical heater as needed to meet plant requirements.
  • Desuperheater Zone – Floating design and shielding at the tubesheet minimize thermal stresses. All operating cases are analyzed to ensure wet wall conditions are prevented. DSH zones can be applied to any horizontal or vertical heater as needed to meet plant requirements.
