Research & Development at the BENSON Test Rig
by Siemens AG • Power Generation (PG)
designs and
constructs fossil
fired power plants
manufactures steam
and gas turbines,
generators,
electrical equipment
and I&C
This booklet should remind you of the exhibition
in the monitoring room of the BENSON test rig
in Erlangen, Germany, where the fundamental
research and development of Siemens/PG
is performed on:
heat transfer in boiler tubes
• smooth
vertical, inclined, horizontal
• rifled
pressure loss in boiler tubes
thermoelastic design of water walls
feedwater treatment · erosion corrosion
is licenser
for BENSON boilers
develops an improved
concept with
vertically tubed
water walls
for BENSON boilers
The BENSON know-how
allows for reliable
design and ensures
customer´s benefit
via validated codes
based on extensive
investigations.

Improved concept with vertical tubed water walls
based on R&D by Siemens/PG with additional advantages:
Simple design and easy maintenance of water walls
similar to drum boilers
Low part-load of 20% with high steam temperatures
Simple start-up system without recirculation pump
Optimized flow chracteristic of water wall tubes (see next page)
