Abstract

A system for readying sub-critical and super-critical steam generator, a servicing method of the sub-critical and the super-critical steam generator and a method of operation of sub-critical and super-critical steam generator is provided. The steam generator includes a first auxiliary heating device disposed on at least one water-steam separator for heating the at least one water-steam separator, and/or a second auxiliary heating device disposed at least on a part of furnace top-end piping for heating the furnace top-end piping. The auxiliary heating devices are heating steam producing components of the steam generator and thus allowing to keep them above the temperature in which materials creating the steam producing components are brittle. The method includes recirculation of the water through the steam generator.
