Doosan has placed an order with CCI Switzerland for two turbine ventilator valves for the two supercritical 800MW turbines at the coal-fired Yong Hung power plant in Korea.

Doosan has placed an order with CCI Switzerland for two turbine ventilator valves for the two supercritical 800MW turbines at the coal-fired Yong Hung power plant in Korea.

These turbines are among the largest turbines worldwide for supercritical steam conditions.

The valves measure 180 x 250mm with a 130mm seat, and are used to protect the high-pressure turbine from overheating during startup and turbine load rejection.

The valves are hydraulically operated and have a spring to open the valve safely within 1s against the steam pressure, whenever the turbine protection system is sending the trip signal.

The valves have a design pressure of 238bar and a design temperature of 564C.

This will be the first time that CCI has supplied this type of valve for a General Electric licence turbine.

In winning the order, CCI took less than a week from Doosan's enquiry to devise a new design for the valve which was simpler and more cost effective that previously used.
