METHOD OF PRODUCING STEAM FROM WATER IN STEAM ENGINE Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC F01K21/00 F22B1/00 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to transport machine building, agricultural machine building, power engineering, housing and communal services. Object of the invention is a method of producing steam 30 from water 32 in a steam engine, intended for production of steam 30 from water 32 and conversion of internal energy of working medium – steam 30 – into mechanical work in turbo-piston engine 4 and into electric energy in generator 8. Steam 30 is obtained from heated water 32 at atmospheric pressure by injection of heated water 32 by nozzle 19 under pressure into steam generation chamber 3 and as a result of impacts on heated wall of steam generation chamber 3, minute particles of water 32 are instantly and completely converted into steam 30, wherein steam generation chamber 3 is heated in flame chamber 2 to below critical temperature for water 32 with combustion gases 29 coming from furnace 1 via flue 11 and branch pipe 13 into flame chamber 2, and electric heater 18 with temperature controller arranged in steam generation chamber 3, wherein in flame chamber 2 steam 30 is superheated in steam inlet pipe 17 and internal energy of steam 30 is converted into mechanical work in turbo-piston engine 4, and then into electric energy by generator 8. Generator 8 charges accumulator 9. Steam 31 condenser 5 creates rarefied medium 47 on one side of piston 45 in one part of cylinder 42 on opposite side of piston 45, on which working medium – steam 30 – acts, and rarefied medium 47 increases resultant of forces acting on piston 45, increasing torque of shaft 44 of rotor 43 of turbo-piston engine 4. To create the required temperature for producing steam 30 from water 32, fuel 39 is used – this is natural gas, liquefied natural gas and biofuel from local renewable energy sources, such as firewood, charcoal, pellets, wood fuel briquettes, which pollute the environment considerably less and are more environmentally friendly, cheaper and available in the Russian Federation.

EFFECT: disclosed is a method of producing steam from water in a steam engine and converting internal energy of a working medium – steam – into mechanical work in turbo-piston engines.
