MULTIPLE HEAT-PIPE STEAM-TURBINE PLANT WITH CAPILLARY CONDENSER Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC F01K25/00 F28D15/04 

FIELD: power industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to heat engineering and can be used for utilisation of secondary heat energy resources and low-potential heat energy of natural sources, namely for conversion of heat energy to mechanical energy. A multiple heat-pipe steam-turbine plant with a capillary condenser includes the following: an evaporative chamber consisting of vertical evaporative sleeves, a separation section, the inner surface of which is covered with a grid of porous material strips, a distributing header with atomisers, a mist eliminator, connected to a working chamber, inside which there placed is a wheel of a power turbine connected on the outer side to a working element and a pump the steam outlet connection pipe is connected to the condensing chamber, in the centre of which a cylindrical tank with perforated walls is arranged, in which a feed pump connected to the distributing header of the evaporative chamber is located. The bottom of the condensing chamber is covered with a capillary condenser that consists of a condensation zone - several perforated sheets laid on each other, the holes in which are made in the form of conical capillaries, and a condensate header - a layer of porous lyophilic material. A cylindrical hole is made in the centre of the capillary condenser, and a restricting ring, a transport ring, a cylindrical cage with perforated walls, which forms a cylindrical tank, are placed in the above cylindrical hole.

EFFECT: improving reliability and efficiency of a multiple heat-pipe steam-turbine plant with a capillary condenser.
