摘要: A fluid storage tank can be configured to store a cooling fluid in a liquid state and a gas state. A first heat exchanger can be configured to release heat into the fluid storage tank. A second heat exchanger can be disposed fluidly downstream of the fluid storage tank and configured to exchange heat between the cooling fluid and a heat load. A pressure control device can be disposed fluidly downstream of the second heat exchanger. One of the first cooling fluid that has been heated by the second heat exchanger or a second cooling fluid different than the first cooling fluid can pass through the first heat exchanger and thereby heat upstream first cooling fluid resident in the fluid storage tank.

The first heat exchanger can be fluidly downstream of the second heat exchanger such that cooling fluid, after being heated in the second heat exchanger, passes through the first heat exchanger and thereby heats upstream cooling fluid resident in the fluid storage tank.

摘要: A combined cycle power plant that includes a gas turbine engine, a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), a steam turbine, a primary condenser, a condensate extraction pump, a gland steam condenser, and a cooling module. The HRSG generates steam. The steam turbine receives steam from the HRSG. The primary condenser is fluidly coupled to the steam turbine and receives a first portion of exhaust steam from the steam turbine. The condensate extraction pump is fluidly coupled to the primary condenser and receives a condensed first portion of exhaust steam. The gland steam condenser is fluidly coupled to the steam turbine and receives a second portion of exhaust steam from the steam turbine. The cooling module is fluidly coupled to the gland steam condenser and supplies a cooling fluid to the gland steam condenser. The cooling module is fluidly isolated from the condensate extraction pump.

摘要: A combined heat and power system is provided with a Rankine cycle passage, a heat medium passage, an evaporator, an expander, a condenser, a pump, a temperature sensor, a sensor, and a controller. The evaporator receives the heat from the heat medium to heat a working fluid. The temperature sensor detects the temperature of the heat medium after radiating heat for heating the working fluid. The sensor detects the pressure of the working fluid flowing between the outlet of the evaporator and the inlet of the expander. The controller adjusts the rotation speed of the pump based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor, and in addition, adjusts the rotation speed of the expander based on the pressure detected by the sensor.

摘要: A thermal energy recovery device capable of suppressing a rapid increase of thermal stress generated in an evaporator when the operation is started and a start-up method thereof are provided. The thermal energy recovery device includes an evaporator, a preheater, an energy recovery unit, a circulating flow path, a pump, a heating medium flow path for supplying a heating medium to the evaporator and the preheater, a flow adjustment unit provided in a portion on the upstream side than the evaporator within the heating medium flow path, and a control unit. The control unit controls the flow adjustment unit so that the inflow amount of the heating medium in a gas-phase to the evaporator gradually increases, in a state that the pump is stopped, until the temperature of the evaporator becomes a specified value.

摘要: A thermal energy recovery device of the present invention includes a heater that evaporates a working medium by a heat medium, an expander into which the working medium flowing out from the heater flows, a power generator that recovers expansion energy of the working medium expanded in the expander, a condenser of a condensing unit that condenses the working medium flowing out from the expander, and a pump that feeds the working medium condensed in the condenser to the heater. A connection portion between the condenser and the pump has a connection end portion connected to an inflow port of the pump, a bent portion bent upward from the connection end portion, and a standing portion extending upward from the bent portion so that the working medium in a gas phase is suppressed from coming into the pump even in an environment where vibration is generated.
