POWER PLANT OF SUBMARINE Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC B63G8/08 

FIELD: power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: power plant of submarine includes mixer connected to electric power system, electrochemical generator with hydrogen-oxygen fuel elements and the following connected to it: cryogenic oxygen storage unit and tank with distilled water, which is differed by the fact that plant is equipped with high-temperature reactor connected on one side through mixer to cryogenic oxygen storage unit, distilled water tank and diesel fuel treatment unit, and on the other side, through group of cyclone filters and cooler to steam conversion unit connected to distilled water storage tank and through heat exchanger and water separator to hydrogen evolution plant connected to electrochemical generator, reformate utilisation unit; at that, reformate utilisation unit is connected separately, as well as through cryogenic oxygen storage unit to carbon dioxide removal unit and to steam conversion unit.

EFFECT: invention allows increasing safety of power plant and managing continuous process of obtaining hydrogen without using substances which are not available aboard the submarine.
