1,203,937. Evaporators, flash type; desalination of water. A. RUTENBERG. 1 Nov., 1967 [8 Nov., 1966], No. 50078/66. Heading BIB. [Also in Division F1] A combined electrical power generating and water desalination plant consisting of a steam generator 1, pass-out turbine 2 driving an electric generator 3, and a desalination plant 4, 5 utilising the pass-out steam, is produced by converting an obsolescent electrical power generating plant by replacing a condensing steam, turbine of the obsolescent plant by the pass-out turbine 2 and constructing the adjacent desalination plant 4, 5. The latter comprises a brine heater 4 heated by the pass-out steam and a multi-stage flash distillation unit 5 receiving sea water through inlet 7 and delivering purified water and reject brine through outlets 8, 9 respectively.
Abstract:
A hybrid heat engine system includes a chamber housing including an inlet and an outlet. A piston is disposed in an interior volume of the chamber housing. The hybrid heat engine system further includes a valve configured to provide a first fluid in a heated state from a heat source to the interior volume via the inlet. The first fluid in the heated state is to push against a first side of the piston to cause a second side of the piston to push a working fluid out of the interior volume and through a turbine to generate energy.

A double-reheat power generator with an ultra high pressure cylinder and a high-intermediate pressure cylinder each having additional heat recovery turbine stages, including steam exhaust of the ultra high pressure cylinder having additional heat recovery turbine stages, that is, first extraction supplies steam to a first high-pressure heater. New second, new third and new fourth extractions of the ultra high pressure cylinder having additional heat recovery turbine stages supply steam to second, third and fourth high-pressure heaters respectively; a new fifth extraction of the HP-IP cylinder having additional heat recovery turbine stages supplies steam to a deaerator; a new sixth extraction of the HP-IP cylinder having additional heat recovery turbine stages supplies steam to an air-preheater; and an air-preheater drainage pump used for water draining of the air-preheater connects to the deaerator.
Abstract:
A CCPP includes a gas turbine, a HRSG, a steam turbine a flash tank and first and second supply lines. The gas turbine, the HRSG and the steam turbine are interconnected to generate power. The gas turbine may include an air preheating system to preheat the air supplied in the gas turbine to enable expedite combustion therein. The flash tank is fluidically connected at a cold end of the HRSG to extract waste hot water from the cold end. Further, the first supply line is configured to interconnect the flash tank and the steam turbine to supply of flash steam to the steam turbine. Furthermore, the second supply line is configured to interconnect the flash tank and the air preheating system to supply hot flash condensate thereto.
Abstract:
In an energy conversion method and a thermal power plant for converting heat into mechanical or electric energy using a working medium, a vapor state in the working medium is generated at a first pressure in a steam generator. The vaporized working medium is expanded to a lower second pressure in a steam expanding device. An energy obtained by the expansion process is discharged. The expansion of the steam state is carried out using a saturation line of the working medium. The working medium is thereby separated into a non-condensed portion and a condensed portion in a separating device. The non-condensed portion is then compressed into a compressed non-condensed portion in a compressor. The compressed non-condensed portion is cooled and condensed into a compressed condensed portion. The compressed condensed portion and the initially condensed portion are then heated, and both portions are returned to the steam generator together.
Abstract:
Cogeneration method, according to which a hot source (2) produces steam that is released in at least one turbine (3) having a low-pressure steam outlet (5) linked to a condenser; at least a fraction (Q) of the steam leaving the turbine (3) is directed towards a Venturi thermocompressor (14) into which a fluid having higher pressure and temperature than the outgoing steam is injected, resulting in a fluid having higher pressure and temperature than the outgoing steam, and this mixture is directed towards a second condenser (21) where the heat of the mixture is transferred to an auxiliary fluid of a circuit (23) external to the thermodynamic cycle.
Abstract:
A method for producing work from heat including mixing a first working fluid F1 vapor with a second working fluid F2 vapor to form a third working fluid F3; atomizing and/or vaporizing a liquid into the third working fluid F3 to define a saturated working fluid; and expanding the saturated working fluid to perform useful work. A high pressure F1(2) portion of the first working fluid F1 may be expanded prior to the mixing step while the F2 vapor is compressed prior to the mixing step. The steps of compressing the F2 vapor and expanding the high pressure F1(2) portion of the first working fluid F1 may be carried out by an integral compressor and expander assembly (204/209). The integral compressor and expander assembly (204/209) may be positioned within a combined mixer assembly (300) with an internal mixing chamber (206) and outlets (375, 351) of both the compressor (204) and expander (209) are directed toward the mixing chamber 206.
Abstract:
A thermal power plant is proposed for achieving high reliability, low material cost, and low construction cost by devising the arrangement and structures of a boiler, steam turbines, and a flue gas treatment apparatus to reduce a usage amount of high-temperature resistance material and further to reduce a thermal elongation of piping. In a thermal power plant including a 2 pass-type boiler having a furnace for burning fuel, a rear heat recovery area for recovering heat from combustion gas exhausted from the furnace, steam turbines are arranged near the rear heat recovery area.
Abstract:
Power plant systems and methods are presented. The power plant includes a steam turbine configured to release exhaust steam. The power plant further includes an electro-hydrodynamic system operatively coupled to the steam turbine. The electro-hydrodynamic system is configured to receive the exhaust steam from the steam turbine and generate auxiliary electric power using the exhaust steam.
