Abstract:
A steam turbine installation that has a steam turbine, a steam generator and a feed water pre-heating unit operated by process steam is provided. The steam turbine has an overload bypass line with which main steam can be fed to the feed water pre-heating unit between the steam turbine input and the extraction point during overload operation of the steam turbine, wherein the feed water pre-heating unit has an auxiliary extraction line that is connected to the overload bypass line in such a way that process steam can be extracted from the steam turbine during partial load operation of the steam turbine and added to the feed water pre-heating unit for the additional pre-heating of feed water.

A steam power plant including a number of partial turbines is provided. Each partial turbine is permeated by steam, an overflow line disposed between a first partial turbine and a second partial turbine and an intermediate superheater in the overflow line. A bleeder line for extracting steam is thereby fluidically connected to the first partial turbine after the expansion stage, prior to the intermediate superheater. An expansion device is further provided, into which the bleeder line opens, and a consumer is connected via a process steam line of the expansion device.
Abstract:
A steam turbine system for a power generating plant is provided. The steam turbine in the system has a live steam control valve at its live steam inlet, an extraction steam outlet, a live steam bypass line with a throttle valve which is connected to the inlet of the live steam control valve and also to the extraction steam outlet for directing live steam, which is throttled with the throttle valve, from upstream of the live steam control valve to the extraction steam outlet. The steam turbine with the live steam control valve and the live steam bypass line with the throttle valve are designed such that the steam turbine can be operated both in the nominal operating state with 100% live steam mass flow and in a special operating state with live steam mass flow above 100%, with a fully open live steam control valve in each case.
Abstract:
A charging circuit for converting electrical energy into thermal energy is provided, having a compression stage, connected via a shaft to an electric motor, a heat exchanger and an expansion stage, which is connected via a shaft to a generator, wherein the compression stage is connected to the expansion stage via a hot-gas line, and the heat exchanger is connected on the primary side into the hot-gas line, wherein the expansion stage is connected via a return line to the compression stage, so that a closed circuit for a working gas is formed. A recuperator is also provided which, on the primary side, is connected into the hot-gas line between the heat exchanger and the expansion stage and, on the secondary side, is connected into the return line, so that heat from the working gas in the hot-gas line can be transferred to the working gas in the return line.
Abstract:
An energy-storing device with a charging circuit for a working gas for storing thermal energy, comprising a compressor, a heat accumulator, and an expansion turbine is provided. The compressor is connected to the inlet of the expansion turbine at the outlet side of the compressor via a first line for the working gas, and the heat accumulator is connected into the first line. The compressor and the expansion turbine are arranged on a common shaft, and the heat exchanger of the heat accumulator is designed such that the working gas which is expanded in the expansion turbine largely matches the thermodynamic state variables of the working gas prior to entering the compressor. Only a part of the thermal energy is transferred to the heat accumulator in the process. The working gas fed to the expansion turbine remains relatively hot.

Abstract:
A method for converting carbon monoxide and water into carbon dioxide and hydrogen, with simultaneous removal of one or more products, is described. The method includes the following steps: in a first reactor, carbon monoxide from the gas phase is bound in a first solvent and converted into formate, in a third reactor, formate is decomposed and resultant hydrogen H2 is removed, and in a second reactor a solid which is a hydrogen-carbonate salt or a carbonate salt is removed. The thermal decomposition of the solid and the expulsion of the carbon dioxide are carried out in an additional fourth reactor, optionally in a second solvent. Further presented is an apparatus for converting carbon monoxide and water into carbon dioxide and hydrogen, including a fourth reactor which thermally decomposes solids formed in the course of the reaction, and gives off carbon dioxide.
