A method for operating a gas and steam turbine plant includes utilizing heat contained in an expanded working medium from a gas turbine to generate steam for a steam turbine connected into a water/steam circuit. The working medium for the gas turbine is generated by combustion of a fuel along with a supply of compressed air. In order to increase efficiency of the plant, the generated steam, before being introduced into the steam turbine, is superheated through the use of heat occurring during hydrogen/oxygen combustion. The plant includes a waste-heat steam generator which is located downstream of the gas turbine on the exhaust-gas side and in which a number of heating surfaces connected into the water/steam circuit of the steam turbine are disposed. A hydrogen/oxygen burner is connected into the water/steam circuit between the waste-heat steam generator and the steam turbine.

Method and apparatus for operating a gas and steam turbine plant using

A repair lining for a heat exchanger tube includes a sleeve having ends. A tubular basic body is disposed in the sleeve and has ends protruding beyond the ends of the sleeve. One of the ends of the basic body has a top part being supported on the sleeve and the other of the ends of the basic body has a thread formed thereon. A nut is disposed on the thread for bracing the repair lining in the heat exchanger tube. At least one clamping ring is disposed on one of the ends of the basic body between the sleeve and the top part, and at least one clamping ring is disposed on the other of the ends of the basic body between the sleeve and the nut. The clamping rings have a conical shape in an initial relaxed condition being changed into a flattened shape with an enlarged diameter by relative motion between the basic body and the sleeve. A method for repairing a heat exchanger tube with a repair lining includes introducing a repair lining into the heat exchanger tube, and tightening the nut with a tool for axially enlarging the clamping rings and substantially fluid-tightly connecting the basic body to the heat exchanger tube.
