SOLAR-AIR AIR-TURBINE ELECTRIC POWER STATION Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC F24J2/42 F03G6/06 F02C1/05 

FIELD: power industry.

SUBSTANCE: solar-air air-turbine electric power station, as a result of heating of compressed air (working medium) to high temperatures by using new spiral solar heaters covered with glass or equipped with glass lenses, allows accumulating and focusing solar radiation energy and providing the heating of working medium in series in each of three solar spiral heaters in all the three solar spirals simultaneously. Solar heaters can operate with lenses and without them. Heated air directed to spiral heater gives the heat to the working medium flowing in opposite directions, which is supplied to turbine by rotating it, and the turbine rotates electric generator, thus generating electric current. Station has two rows of cylinders of isothermal expansion and adiabatic compression of atmospheric air at one and the same time, thus heating it. Some portion of air is supplied via the pipe to spiral heater for water heating for domestic needs by means of partial use of the heat obtained from atmospheric air at its isothermal expansion in isothermal cylinders. In isothermal cylinders for air compression (working medium), owing to turbine power takeoff, vice versa, heat is given at compression to atmospheric air.

EFFECT: electric power station is intended to generate cheap electric energy for the people living in desert regions with large amount of solar radiation energy.
