POWER PLANT FOR SUPPLY OF ELECTRICAL AND THERMAL ENERGY Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC F02G5/04 F02B43/08 

FIELD: engines and pumps.

SUBSTANCE: power plant for supply of electrical and thermal energy includes internal combustion engine, electric generator driven with motor, thermochemical reactor for obtaining synthesis gas from biofuel, which is heated with engine waste gases, heat exchangers for cooling synthesis gas and waste gases of the engine with water from hot water supply system, and engine synthesis gas feed system. Plant is equipped with heat exchanger transferring the thermal energy from liquid of engine cooling system to water of hot water supply system before it is supplied to synthesis gas cooling heat exchanger, mixer for mixing synthesis gas and waste gases of the engine, catalytic converter of nitrogen oxides in waste gases of engine, gas butterfly valves to control the flow of waste gases through heat exchanger of their being cooled with water of hot water supply system and through bypass pipeline. Electric heater connected to electric generator is located in feed hydraulic line of hot water supply system. Standby hydraulic line with radiator located in it and before which the fan is installed is connected to return hydraulic line.

EFFECT: increasing the efficiency of power plant by more complete utilisation of generated energy and by reducing the toxicity level of waste gases.
