Abstract: In a method of operating a power station plant which essentially comprises a gas-turbine group and a steam circuit arranged downstream, a portion of the condensate collecting from this steam circuit is directed to an intercooler, which belongs to the compressor of the gas-turbine group and in which the condensate is heated up to form hot water. This hot water is then introduced directly or via a further heating-up means into the gas-turbine group at a suitable point.

Abstract: In a method for regulation a gas turbo-generator set operated with sequential combustion, the fuel quantity necessary for operating the first combustion changer is first controlled as a function of a pressure prevailing at the outlet of the compressor. The ratio between this fuel quantity and this pressure is continuously updated by means of a factor reproducing the deviation of a temperature at the inlet into the first turbine from the desired value of this temperature. A fuel quantity necessary for operating the second combustion chamber is controlled as a function of a pressure prevailing at the inlet into the second turbine, and the ratio between this fuel quantity and this pressure is likewise continually updated by means of a factor reproducing the deviation of the inlet temperature into the second turbine from the desired value of this temperature. The inertias in the system are neutralized by means of this pressure backup regulation.

Abstract: In a method for operating a gas turbogenerator set, an exhaust gas stream (13) from the last turbine (5) is divided at least into two part streams (14, 15) routed in parallel. The first part stream (14) flows through a recuperator (26), and the second part stream (15) flows through a steam generator (27). The steam quantity (16) obtained from the steam generator (27) is introduced at a suitable point into combustion air (2, 27) used for operating a combustion chamber (2) belonging to the gas turbogenerator set. The exhaust gases from the turbine are consequently optimally cooled to good effect, this resulting in maximized efficiency.

Abstract: In a method of operating a gas-turbine group, an exhaust-gas flow (9) of the gas-turbine group is admitted to a heat-exchange stage (14, 18), through which a liquid fuel (12) and a water quantity (16) flow. The thermally processed media (12, 16) are then brought together, whereby an emulsion (19) is formed, and this emulsion (19) is used to operate a burner of a combustion chamber. In this way, the spraying of this very hot emulsion (19) into the combustion air ensures good mixing.

Abstract: In a method for operating a gas turbo-generator set (GT), the caloric potential of the exhaust gases (14) from the gas turbo-generator set (GT) is utilized by guiding them through a heat exchanger (5) which is operatively connected to a hot-air turbo-generator set (LT). A compressor (7) associated with this hot-air turbo-generator set (LT) is operated isothermally by means of point-focused or continuous water injection (24), and, after expansion (6) has taken place, the injected water is collected by condensation (19) in a separator (10). A circuit is thus provided, in which the adaptation of assemblies in order to achieve maximized efficiency is avoided.

Abstract: A premix burner for a gas turbine engine having a pair of partial conical bodies stacked inside each other to form a conical interior chamber is disclosed. The conical bodies are offset laterally to form tangential air flow openings. The width of the openings is varied in a prescribed manner to induce rotational disorder.

Abstract: In a method of operating a power station plant, which consists of a gas-turbine group (I), a steam-generating stage (II) consisting of a waste-heat steam generator (15), and a steam cycle (III), a liquid quantity increased above 100% circulates in a heat-exchange stage (15a), operating in the low temperature range, of the waste-heat steam generator (15). The portion above 100% of this liquid quantity is diverted at the end of said heat-exchange stage (15a) and is evaporated in at least one pressure stage (26). Steam (37) arising herein is then fed to a steam turbine (17) at a suitable point. A still hot liquid quantity (36) from the pressure stage (26) is fed into a feed-water tank and deaerator (22), and steam (33) arising herein is fed to a further steam turbine (18) at a suitable point.

Abstract: In a method of operating a combined-cycle plant which is based on a gas-turbine group, the compressor unit of this same gas-turbine group is equipped with an intercooler (9). By detecting parameters which comprise at least the ambient temperature (T), the air humidity (.phi.) of intake air (7) and the outlet pressure (Pic) of the intercooler (9), and by feeding the same to a computer (15), regulation is initiated by the latter, which regulation acts on members (17, 18) in the coolant circuit (13, 13a) between the intercooler (9) and a heat sink (14). The dew-point temperature of the cooled air (10), compressed to an intermediate pressure, downstream of the intercooler (9) is thereby influenced.

Abstract: In a method of operating a power station plant which essentially comprises a gas-turbine group and a waste-heat steam generator (14) arranged downstream, the exhaust gases from said gas-turbine group, which essentially comprises a compressor (1),tcw a first combustion chamber (4), a first turbine (7), a second combustion chamber (9), a second turbine (12) and a generator (19), are directed through said waste-heat steam generator (14). The superheated steam (15) arising there is injected at a suitable point into the gas-turbine group. The saturated steam (16) arising there flows via a heat exchanger (17) through which a portion of compressor air (18) flows. The saturated steam (16) is converted into superheated steam (25) which is subsequently likewise injected into the gas-turbine group. The measures increase the efficiency and multiply the specific output of the plant.

Abstract: In a method for cooling thermally loaded components of a gas turbine group as part of a combined installation which, in addition, also consists of a waste heat steam generator and a steam cycle, a quantity of saturated steam is extracted from a drum of the steam cycle. The components mentioned, namely the combustion chamber and the turbine, are cooled in series by this saturated steam and the steam is subsequently returned to a steam turbine of the steam cycle at an appropriate location. The steam, from the steam turbine, employed for cooling is moderated, if required, with a proportion of water from the waste heat steam generator upstream of the components to be cooled.

Abstract: In a gas/steam power station plant, which consists essentially of at least one fossil-fired internal combustion engine (2), at least one steam circuit (1) and at least one heat exchanger (3), the heat exchanger (3) connected downstream of the internal combustion engine (2) is fed with exhaust gases (27) from the internal combustion engine (2). Together with a number of steam turbines (12, 13), the steam circuit 1 has a generator (14), a series of other auxiliary units (15, 16) and a water-cooled reactor (11) which produces an amount of saturated steam (B) from an amount of preheated feed water (C) treated in the heat exchanger (3) and fed to it. This amount of saturated steam is thereupon fed to a superheat stage (A) in the heat exchanger (3), where the actual final treatment of the steam takes place.

Abstract: In an air storage power station heat is withdrawn from the compression process via a heating element (18) and passed into a heat storage device (15). During turbine operation the cold compressed air taken from the air reservoir (1) is first pre-heated with the stored heat in an air heater (21) and then passes via the recuperator (14) to the gas turbine (12',12"). In this way low-temperature corrosion at the exchange surfaces of the recuperator (14) on the flue gas side is avoided, especially during start-up of the gas turbine.
