UNDERWATER NUCLEAR GAS PUMPING STATION Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC F04D25/00 F02C6/00 

FIELD: oil and gas industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to underwater development of offshore oil and gas fields and is designed to transport natural gas through subsea pipelines. Underwater nuclear gas pumping station contains the first and the second circuits of steam production and use, a steam bypass system from one circuit to the other circuit, the first and the second steam condensers. Each of the two circuits comprises a nuclear steam-generating plant (NSGP), a steam distributor (SD), a steam-turbine compressor plant (STCP) and a steam-turbine electric plant (STEP). In each of the two circuits the pipeline of steam removal from the NSGP is connected to the SD inlet, the first pipeline of steam removal from the SD is connected to the STCP inlet, and the second pipeline of steam removal – to the STEP inlet, pipelines of steam supply and removal to the STCP and the STEP, pipelines of steam removal and feedwater supply to the NSGP are connected by plug-in connections to the corresponding inlet and outlet nozzles of the STCP, the STEP and the NSGP. Pipelines of steam removal from the STCP of the first circuit and the STCP of the second circuit are connected to the first steam condenser, and the pipelines of steam removal from the STEP of the first circuit and the STEP of the second circuit are connected to the second steam condenser.

EFFECT: invention makes it possible to increase the operational reliability and the economical efficiency of the station.
