What is an HRSG?
Heat Recovery Steam Generator
Wikipedia energy recovery heat
exchanger that recovers heat from
a hot gas stream. It produces steam
that can be used in a process
(cogeneration plant) or used to drive
a steam turbine (combined cycle
power plant)
Its A Boiler!!!

$20-$25MM Parts
$8-$9 MM Ship
Modular assembly
Upgrades to GT often
require HRSG analysis
potential showstopper

Converts Steam to
Electricity
*Combined Cycle:
A combination of
thermodynamic Gas (GT)
Cycle and Steam (HRSG &
ST) Cycle in an Electrical
Generating Power Plant to
gain higher power output
and efficiency
2. HRSG:
Converts Waste
Heat to Steam
HRSG is the critical link between gas turbine and steam turbine in a
combined cycle power plant
