PLANT FOR STEAM GENERATION Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: power engineering. SUBSTANCE: plant has vertical case 2 submerged into reservoir 1. Space of the case is provided with steam generator 3 having steam discharging pipe 5 coupled with reservoir 1 through water supply branch pipe 6. Additionally the plant has evaporator made of heating section provided with pipes 7 coupled with steam discharging pipe 5 and condenser 13 mounted above steam generator 3. Passage 13 is connected to steam generator 3 and evaporator through passages 16,17. The evaporator is connected to the water supply branch pipe through passage 18. Water, e.g. marine water, is sucked into passage 18 through valve-controller 23 of branch pipe 6 and by-passed into passage 17 where it is evaporated and lifts in passage 13 together with steam from steam generator. Condensate drops down into steam generator 3 provided with a unit 25 for measuring level of condensate. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency and reliability. 4 cl, 1 dwg
