Abstract
A mixed-pressure waste-heat boiler (7) has a forced-flow steam generator, essentially composed of a low-pressure economizer (15), of a low-pressure drum (17) and of a low-pressure evaporator (16), and a once-through forced-flow steam generator, essentially composed of a high-pressure economizer (21), of a high-pressure evaporator (22) and of a high-pressure superheater (23). The high-pressure economizer (21) is fed from the steam drum (17) of the forced-circulation steam generator via a high-pressure feed pump (20). Arranged between the high-pressure evaporator (22) and high-pressure superheater (23) is a separation bottle (25) which is connected to the steam drum (17) via a recirculation line (26). During startup, until superheated conditions are reached at the outlet of the high-pressure evaporator (22), high-pressure saturated water is recirculated into the drum (17) of the forced-circulation steam generator via the separation bottle (25).
