METHOD OF OPTIMIZATION OF OPERATING STEAM-GAS POWER PLANT Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: heat power engineering. SUBSTANCE: flow rate of stem, which is fed to the combustion chamber at nominal regime of operation, is determined by relationships available in the invention description. The relationships allow for nominal air flow rate, amount of air needed for full burning out of 1 kg of fuel, extent of air pressure raising at compression, temperature of steam-gas mixture at the beginning of expansion, and set of empirical coefficients. At peak regime of operation, flow rates of fuel and steam are increased in agreement with the available relationships. Additionally generated steam-gas mixture operates in the turbine of peak power. EFFECT: simplified method. 1 dwg
