ELECTRIC POWER PLANT Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: heat-power engineering. SUBSTANCE: arranged in housing 1 are condensate receiver 2, electric generator 5, turbine 6 and feed pump 7. Connected with exhaust branch pipe 30 is regenerative heater 31 connected with condenser heat exchanger 34 by means of pipe line 33. Heat exchanger 34 is located in heat receiving zone and steam generator 16 is located in heat source zone. To enhance reliability of plant in starting it, plant is provided with separator 20 fitted with float-type level regulator 23, steam valve 21, drain valve 24 and bypass valve. Separator 20 keeps moisture from entering the flow section of turbine through separation of moisture from gaseous phase and directing the flow of working medium past turbine 6 at initial stage of starting. Starting reservoir 10 which is temporarily placed in heat source zone makes it possible to ensure initial circulation of working medium and other parts of the cycle. Fan 36 is used to intensify operation of heat exchanger 34 when ambient air is used as heat receiver. EFFECT: enhanced reliability. 25 cl, 11 dwg
