METHOD OF OPERATION OF THERMOELECTRIC PLANT Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: heat-power engineering. SUBSTANCE: live steam is delivered to back-pressure turbine, thus generating electric power; preset flow rate of steam is maintained at the turbine exhaust end. Steam at the turbine exhaust end is divided into flows for use in several consumers of different potentials. Preset pressure is maintained at the turbine exhaust end which is equal to pressure required for consumer of highest potential; before consumers of lower potentials. pressure is reduced by means of pressure-reducing members; besides that, steam for consumers of lower potentials is fed additionally from consumers of higher potential together with superheated steam delivered from boiler of industrial parameters. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency. 1 dwg
