STEAM-GAS PLANT Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: steam gas plants. SUBSTANCE: plant has boiler, combustion chamber arranged in boiler, engine and compressor connected by belt drive. Boiler is connected with engine by main line delivering steam-gas mixture and compressor is connected with boiler by compressed air main line. Combustion chamber accommodates nozzle and electrode. Engine and compressor are of rotor type. Boiler can operate both on gaseous and liquid fuel. For this purpose boiler is provided with reservoirs which are connected with nozzle through corresponding mainlines with valves. Compressed air is delivered to combustion chamber from reservoir connected with compressor. Used steam-gas after rotor engine is delivered to radiator and from the latter into cooler. After condensing of steam, water from cooler is returned into boiler by pump along main line with valve. EFFECT: increased efficiency of conversion of thermal energy into mechanical energy, enhanced operating characteristics of engine. 3 cl, 3 dwg
