摘要: Heat is reclaimed from a high temperature gasifier exhaust gas of between 250° C and 20000C. A first duct receives the exhaust gas, and outputs it at a reduced temperature. A second duct receives a heat transfer fluid and outputs it at an elevated temperature. A heat transfer arrangement conducts heat extracted from the product gas to the heat transfer fluid (steam), thereby elevating the temperature of the heat transfer fluid. A heat pipe formed of sodium, potassium, rubidium, or lithium, has a first end for communicating with the high temperature exhaust gas and a second end for communicating with the heat transfer fluid. The heat pipe has an envelope formed of a selectable combination of stainless steel, Inconel, nickel, molybdenum, tungsten, niobium, carbon, carbon composite, and Hastelloy X, and a safety valve that ensures safe operation. An adiabatic zone is interposed between the first and second ducts.

摘要: A system for generating electrical power employs a reactor for producing a product gas in response to the consumption of a feedstock. A heat reclamation arrangement employs a sodium heat pipe that communicates with the product gas the spent steam to extract heat from the product gas and thereby form heated steam. Heated steam is delivered to a turbine that has an input for receiving the heated steam, an outlet for exhausting spent steam, and a rotatory output. An electrical generator is coupled to the rotatory output of the turbine for producing the electrical energy. A recirculating system returns the spent steam to the heat reclamation arrangement. The fuel provided to the reactor may be any combination of coal, municipal solid waste, biomass, or a non-fossil fuel. Additives serve to neutralize the acid or base content of the product gas. A secondary power generation facility receives the product gas and produces additional electrical power.
