CO-GENERATIVE MODULAR HEAT POWER STATION WITH INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE AND ADDITIONAL BURNER ASSEMBLY Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: power engineering. SUBSTANCE: proposed heat power station includes at least one engine-generator plant, with mainly liquid-cooled internal combustion engine and at least one electric fan plant to supply air to engine-generator plant. Module is formed by engine-generator and electric fan plants placed in common heat insulating housing which is provided with heat intake from side of generator, preferably along its axis and delivery pipeline from opposite side. Air intake and gas exhaust ducts of internal combustion engine are brought out of the housing. Other structural part of heat power station is "thermal column" formed by waste-heat recovery boiler with mixing chamber connected to its gas inlet and engine- generator plant installed in head part and connected to inlet device. Gas exhaust duct of internal combustion engine is connected to other inlet device of chamber. Delivery pipeline of module is connected to air inlet of engine-generator plant through distributing device kinematically coupled with fuel metering element of engine- generator plant. Distributing device is connected also at least to one additional hot air consumer. Used as said consumer can be mixing chamber of "thermal column", water-to-air heat exchanger in hot-water supply system, building ventilation system, etc. These consumers are placed in operation at partial duties with engine-generator plant operating. Proposed design of module makes it possible to suppress, practically completely radiation losses of internal combustion engine, generator and "thermal column". EFFECT: increased efficiency of heat power station up to 90-95%. 8 cl, 2 dwg
