POWER PLANT TO PRODUCE ELECTRIC AND THERMAL ENERGY Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC F02G5/04 F02B43/10 F02B63/04 F01N3/36 

FIELD: power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: power plant comprises an internal combustion engine (1), using biofuel, and a power generator (2). Under a generator there is a fuel tank (4) with biofuel, and at the side of the generator there is a control panel (6), in which there is a pump of biofuel supply is fixed from the fuel tank. On top of the power plant there is a thermochemical reactor (9) to produce synthesis gas from biofuel and a heat exchanger (10) of synthesis gas cooling by water of a system of user hot water supply. A reactor (9) comprises a cylindrical body, arranged across the power plant in a heater (24), made in the form of a drum. The inlet to it is communicated with a header of spent gases exhaust from an engine, and the outlet with an angled pipeline (25) is communicated with a catalytic neutraliser of nitrogen oxides in spent gases via a mixer (33) of synthesis gas mixing and via a heat exchanger (12) of heating of water of the hot water supply system with spent gases, installed along the power plant. At the other side of the power plant there is a heat exchanger for heating of water of the hot water supply system with the fluid of the engine cooling system arranged under a bench. An accumulating battery is installed on the bench.

EFFECT: provision of more complete recovery of thermal energy and reduced toxicity of spent gases.
