ELECTRIC ENERGY GENERATING DEVICE Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: power generation. SUBSTANCE: device has main gas conduit, regulator, gas and gas expansion turbines with electric generators and heat exchangers. The following devices are connected in series parallel to gas flow governor: gas heat exchanger for heating gas before gas expansion turbine, gas expansion turbine with electric generator, heat exchanger for heating gas after gas expansion turbine. Outlet of gas turbine is series- connected with heat exchangers before and after gas expansion turbine. Power of gas expansion turbine should be 1.2-2 times greater that gas turbine power. Invention makes is possible to create self-contained electric energy generating device for highly efficient utilization of potential energy of natural gas. EFFECT: enlarged operating capabilities. 1 dwg
