  • Patent number: 9523513
    Abstract: A heating system for a thermal electric power station water circuit includes an extraction system for extracting water from a condenser and a first set of heaters including a first water inlet fed with a first fraction of a flow coming from the extraction system, and a input for heating the extracted water. A second set of heaters includes a heater arranged in series with the extracted-water inlet of the first set, and a steam input for heating the extracted water. A condensate cooler includes a first water inlet fed by a condensate outlet of the second set of heaters, a second water inlet fed with a complementary fraction of the extracted-water flow, a first outlet for cooled condensate to be reinjected into the condenser, and a second outlet for heated water so that water leaving the first set of heaters is mixable with water from the second outlet.

  • Patent number: 8273314
    Abstract: The invention concerns an exchanger-reactor (1) comprising: a vessel (2); means for distributing a feed through a fixed bed catalytic zone (10); means (6) for collecting effluent from the catalytic zone (10); means for heating the catalytic zone (10); in which said collection means (6) comprise conduits passing right through the catalytic zone (10), said conduits being distributed in the catalytic zone and interposed between the heating means, and in which the heating means of the catalytic zone are contained in sheaths (8) which are partially immersed in the catalytic zone (10), the sheaths (8) being open at one of their ends and closed at the other, the open end being fixed to an upper tube plate (21) defining the collection chamber (19) which is located above the catalytic zone (10), said heating means comprising at least one combustion zone (13) located close to the catalytic zone, means for supplying said combustion zone (13) with an oxidizing gas mixture (15) and with a gaseous fuel (17), and means
