Subject of the invention is a process for the realization of cogenerative supply of electricity and heat, and in given case for their combination with waste heat recovery, particularly in case of combined (gas-steam) cycle industrial power plants. The essential feature of the invention is that during the season without heat demand the condenser with heating capacity N is operated by cooling with cooling tower, and during the heat-intensive season it is operated at a higher temperature required for the heat supplying operation mode, while the cooling tower (7) is disconnected partially or completely, and the resultant reduction of the specific expansion and heating capacity of the steam turbine (4) is compensated by increasing the steam parameters and steam output of the waste heat recovery boiler (3) with supplementary firing (11).

Process for the realization of cogenerative supply of electricity and

The invention relates to a plant for utilization of low-potential waste heat of a gas-pipeline compressor station in a heat consumer which is outside the station such as e.g. district heating systems for homes, for industrial or agricultural purposes. The compressor stations of this type have a compressor driven by a gas motor or gas turbine. The improvement is in that a surface heat exchanger (7) cooled with liquid, preferably with water is provided for cooling the gas after leaving the compressor and being warmed in the course of compression. The heat exchanger is connected to the heat consumer through a liquid conduit having a circulation pump in it (FIG. 1).

Plant for utilization of low-potential waste heat of a gas-pipeline

Flue gases from a glass-melting furnace, after passing through an elevated recuperator, descend through a vertical cooling column into a horizontal convective boiler before being exhausted into a smokestack. Entering water, circulating essentially in counterflow to the flue gases, is preheated in an exit compartment of the boiler and passes via a flow regulator into the main boiler chamber and thence into a bank of vertical pipes on the periphery of the column. On rising through these pipes, the water is partly converted to steam which is superheated in an entrance compartment of the boiler before being fed to a load, the remaining water being returned to the boiler chamber.

Steam generator using waste heat from glass furnace

The invention is used in the field of pressure-intensifying stations of natural gas and oil pipelines. The essential character of the process according to the invention is that steam is produced in boilers heated with the outgoing flue gas of the gas turbines driving the compressors (pumps), the steam is conducted into steam turbine for driving further compressor(s), pump(s). Main feature of the equipment according to the invention is that the ratio of the simultaneously operating gas turbines and steam turbines may vary from the equivalent to tripple value, the ratio is suitably double, and the stand-by machine unit is driven always by gas turbine, separate flue gas boiler is connected to each of the gas turbines, while the boilers are equipped with supplementary and/or substituting automatic heater. Advantages of the invention include the following:
