  • Gas generation apparatus
    Patent number: 5517818
    Abstract: Hot, cleansed driver fluid for a gas turbine is produced by the burning of pulverized coal, cooling of the exhaust gases resulting from burning, purifying the cooled exhaust gases and then reheating the purified gas to the appropriate level for supply to the gas turbine. The reheating of the purified gas is accomplished through heat exchange with the impure gas during the cooling step and through heat exchange with the combustion chamber in which the burning of the coal occurs.
