Heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) are specialized systems designed to capture exhaust heat from gas turbines and convert it into steam, which can then be used to generate additional power in combined-cycle and cogeneration plants. By recovering waste heat, HRSGs significantly boost energy efficiency, reduce fuel consumption, and lower emissions.
HRSGs can be tailored with various configurations, including modular designs, vertical or horizontal layouts, and optional components like economizers and superheaters to enhance performance. Widely used in power generation and industrial facilities, HRSGs play a crucial role in optimizing plant operations, supporting rapid start-up needs, and maximizing thermal efficiency in demanding applications.
