Modern steam generators typically include a radiant section and a convection section. Due to differing performance requirements of the radiant and convection sections, the radiant section often has a round cross-section, while the convection section often has a rectangular cross-section. Previous designs utilized a target wall to effect the transition. An angled transition section is disclosed herein that substantially eliminates the target wall and/or the reverse target and provides a corresponding improvement in steam generator efficiency. |

A steam generation assembly is provided for producing steam with foul or unclean fluids for use in operations. The heat is transferred to the foul fluid from a clean steam flowing through a tube bundle and is circulated through a closed loop steam generation system. The tube bundle extends within an outer shell that collects the foul fluid for heat transfer. Outer shell includes a larger volume below the tube bundle than convention heat exchangers so that any particulates and emulsions can gather below the tube bundle rather than attaching or forming on its surface. |

A heat exchanger for generating a steam flow for a solar-thermal power plant, including a casing for receiving a casing-side fluid, pipes arranged within the casing for a pipe-side fluid, and a fluid inlet conduit which is connected to an inlet opening for the casing-side fluid and which encloses at least a part of the pipes in such a manner that the fluid inlet conduit is configured as a preheater and/or a flow director for the casing-side fluid entering the casing, wherein heat is transmitted via the pipes from the pipe-side fluid to the casing-side fluid. The casing-side fluid is water, and the pipe-side fluid is a thermal oil or salt. |

A boiler is described comprising a housing with a flue gas inlet for receiving a hot gas flame and an outlet for venting a hot gas produced by the hot gas flame, and a tube assembly mounted within the housing. The tube assembly comprises a lower manifold for receiving a liquid, an upper manifold for receiving a heated version of the liquid; and, a plurality of tubes disposed between the lower and upper manifolds. Each tube is shaped to provide a hot gas pathway that travels in a parallel fashion along at least a lower portion of the longitudinal extent of each tube in the tube assembly to the outlet, whereby the liquid introduced into the lower manifold travels in the plurality of tubes and receives heat from the hot gas along the extent of the hot gas pathway. |

The boiler has two horizontal rows of steel tubes with steel fins staggered with respect to each other and extending between tube sheets. Headers are associated with the tube sheets to provide multiple passes. The tube sheets are in sections having joints between the sections so that the tube sheets are articulated to allow freedom of axial expansion relatively of tubes in respective passes to prevent failure at tube ends. The tubes are copper lined and the faces of tubes sheets within headers are copper clad with copper inserts joining ends of copper tube linings with copper claddings.
