  • Patent number: 6735947
    Abstract: The invention relates to a steam power plant which consists essentially of a steam generator (1), a turbo group comprising a condensing steam turbine (2) and generator (3), a water-cooled condenser (4) and a bled-steam-heated preheating system. In said steam power plant all components, including the fuel storage area (6), are situated at ground level and in the open air. The turbo group (2, 3) and the condenser (4), the preheating system with associated pumps and the transformers (7) are arranged such that a gantry crane is able to pass over them. The steam generator (1), flue gas cleaning system (16) and the chimney (17) are positioned in a row along a common flue gas axis (18) and the turbo group (2, 3) arranged in the immediate vicinity and parallel thereto. As seen from the main wind direction (9), the coal storage area (6) is positioned downwind from the turbo group (2, 3) and the steam generator (1).

  • Patent number: 5738662
    Abstract: A fluid manifold includes a housing having a first inlet and an outlet and a plurality of inlets intermediate the first inlet and the outlet which are provided with check valve action to prevent retrograde flow through the valved inlets, yet allow individual inlets to pass fluid when the fluid pressure in any individual inlet exceeds that of the interior of the chamber by a predetermined cracking pressure, and retrograde flow through the first inlet is controlled by a flapper portion which may be biased to an open position to allow unrestricted flow from the first inlet to the outlet or configured so as to be in sealing contact with a valve seat in order to preferentially inhibit flow.
