Steam cycle power module

An integrated steam cycle, power module comprising:

• a steam turbine arranged to have steam supplied thereto;
• a steam manifold arranged to have exhaust steam from the steam turbine supplied thereto;
• at least one heat exchanger panel arranged to have exhaust steam supplied thereto from the manifold via risers which connect the manifold to headers associated with the heat exchangers;
• and
• a steam inlet pipe connected to the manifold at a central region of the manifold to carry the exhaust steam from the steam turbine to the manifold;
• wherein the steam turbine is situated below the steam manifold and is arranged, in use, to exhaust exhaust steam to the manifold, which exhaust steam is passed to the heat exchanger panel in order to have heat extracted therefrom;
• wherein each heat exchanger panel is arranged to form a planar, substantially vertical, wall along side regions of the module;
• wherein the steam inlet pipe is arranged to be vertical;
• wherein the manifold is arranged, in use, to allow steam to move in at least two directions along the module;
• wherein the risers are arranged in pairs with a first riser of the pair conveying steam to a first side of the module and a second riser of the pair conveying steam to a second, different, side of the module;
• wherein the module heat exchanger panels comprise header pipes;
• wherein the module risers connect to the header pipes;
• wherein the module is connectable to additional heat exchanger panels;
• and
• wherein the manifold is arranged, in use, to allow steam to move in at least two directions along the module.
