    摘要: The present invention relates to the supercritical CO2 generation system applying plural heat sources. The supercritical CO2 generation system applying plural heat sources includes a pump circulating a working fluid; a plurality of heat exchangers heating the working fluid using an external heat source and including a plurality of constrained heat sources having an emission regulation condition of an outlet end thereof and a plurality of general heat sources without the emission regulation condition; a plurality of turbines operated by the working fluid heated by passing through the heat exchangers; and a plurality of recuperators cooling the working fluid passing through the turbines by heat exchange between the working fluid passing through the turbines and the working fluid passing through the pump, wherein the working fluid passing through the turbine is branched into the recuperators, respectively.

    摘要: In an energy conversion method and a thermal power plant for converting heat into mechanical or electric energy using a working medium, a vapor state in the working medium is generated at a first pressure in a steam generator. The vaporized working medium is expanded to a lower second pressure in a steam expanding device. An energy obtained by the expansion process is discharged. The expansion of the steam state is carried out using a saturation line of the working medium. The working medium is thereby separated into a non-condensed portion and a condensed portion in a separating device. The non-condensed portion is then compressed into a compressed non-condensed portion in a compressor. The compressed non-condensed portion is cooled and condensed into a compressed condensed portion. The compressed condensed portion and the initially condensed portion are then heated, and both portions are returned to the steam generator together.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a hybrid power generation system using a supercritical CO2 cycle, which includes a first working fluid circuit configured to produce electric power by a first working fluid heated in a boiler, and a second working fluid circuit configured to produce electric power by a second working fluid, and the first and second working fluid circuits share the boiler. The hybrid power generation system can remove an air preheater of a thermal power generation system and separate heat exchange units for exhaust gas and air after combustion, so as to utilize the heat exchange units as a heat source and a cooling source in a supercritical CO2 cycle. Consequently, it is possible to improve power generation efficiency by recovering the leakage loss of the air preheater.

    摘要: The present invention provides a turbine shaft bearing apparatus, comprising two axially spaced, inlet side and outlet side bearings for providing support to a turbine shaft to which are connected a plurality of turbine wheels such that the turbine shaft, the two spaced bearings, and the plurality of turbine wheels are all coaxial, wherein the outlet side bearing is protected from overheating by motive fluid expanded by one or more of the plurality of turbine wheels or stages by a solid bearing housing which surrounds the outlet side bearing which is supported and provided with a conduit through which a lubricating medium for lubricating said outlet side bearing is supplied from a port external to said turbine. The present invention is also directed to a single turbine module, comprising a plurality of axially spaced turbine wheels, each of which constitutes one expansion stage of said turbine module, being connected to a common turbine shaft and coaxial therewith; an inlet through which motive fluid vapor is introduced to a first stage of said turbine wheels; a structured bleeding exit opening formed in an outer turbine casing of the turbine module; and a passage defined between two of the turbine wheels and in fluid communication with the bleeding exit opening, wherein expanded motive fluid vapor is extracted through said structured bleeding exit opening and is supplied to a heat exchange component, for heating the motive fluid condensate.
