摘要:
A system for regulating the temperature and flow rate of a heat transfer fluid for use in a hybrid steam-generating plant is described. A bypass section may be incorporated into the piping network of a primary steam-generating source to route heat transfer fluid from a hot source to a mixer downstream of at least one heat exchanger. Heat transfer fluid from the hot source may be mixed with cooler heat transfer fluid exiting the heat exchanger in the event that the supply from a secondary steam-generating source is lost or becomes intermittent. The result is a system that maintains a constant flow rate of heat transfer fluid through the heat exchangers while minimizing adverse temperature gradient effects that may result from steam production variability and plant operation outside of design point parameters.

Systems recover gas and/or heat and convert the recovered gas and/or heat to electrical power. The systems recover gas and/or heat from metal melting and/or smelting processes used in the manufacturing and/or refining of metals and/or their by-products. The recovered gas and/or heat are converted into electrical power. The heat of the metal melting and/or smelting process is converted to superheated liquid, such as steam, through a heat exchanger for operating a turbine motor and electrical power generator to produce electrical power. Flue gases from the melting and/or smelting processes used in the manufacturing and/or refining of metals and/or their by-products are utilized to drive a gas turbine motor and electrical power generator to produce electrical power. Electricity generated by the systems electrolyze water to form hydrogen gas and oxygen gas.

Process and apparatus for the heating of fluids by heat exchange with falling shot particles. A heat-transfer medium is heated to a temperature above its melting point to produce a body of molten heat-transfer medium at an elevation above a fluid heating zone. The molten medium is sparged downardly into the heating zone where it contacts fluid therein. The molten medium is solidified to form shot particles and the aqueous fluid in contact therewith is heated. The resulting steam or hot water is recovered from the heating zone and the relatively cool shot particles are recovered from the heating zone and recirculated for heating to produce molten heat-transfer medium as described above. The heat-transfer medium may take the form of heavy metals such as lead and lead alloys. Where hard water is used as the feed to the heating zone, the resulting scale deposits are recovered with the shot particles and then separated therefrom prior to recirculating the shot particles for melting to form the molten heat-transfer medium.
摘要:
High temperature thermal exchange between molten liquid and a gas stream is effected by generating in a confined flow passageway a plurality of droplets of molten liquid and by passing a gas stream through the passageway in heat exchange relationship with the droplets. The droplets are recovered and adjusted to a predetermined temperature by means of thermal exchange with an external source for recycle. The process provides for removal of undesired solid, liquid or gaseous components.

A heat exchanger for cooling hot inert gases in a metal bath while producing steam in two serially arranged chambers each containing a metal bath and heat exchanging surfaces, the arrangement being such that the gases are introduced into the respective metal bath from above and the withdrawal of the gases from said chambers is effected above the level of the metal bath while the heat absorbing medium flows through the chambers in counter-current flow to the gases, and the exchanger surfaces are so designed that the metal bath temperature in the serially first chamber is the highest.
