Abstract
A gas and steam turbine plant includes a waste-heat steam generator which is located downstream of a gas turbine on the flue-gas side and which has heating surfaces that are connected into a water/steam circuit of a steam turbine. A gasification device is located upstream of a combustion chamber of the gas turbine through a fuel line, for the integrated gasification of a fossil fuel. The gas and steam turbine plant is to be operated with particularly high plant efficiency even when oil is used as the fossil fuel. Thus, a heat exchanger is connected on the primary side into the fuel line upstream of a mixing apparatus for admixing nitrogen to the gasified fuel, as seen in the direction of flow of the gasified fuel. The heat exchanger is constructed on the secondary side as an evaporator for a flow medium.
