Abstract
The technology described herein relates to, among other topics, a power system using solar assisted equipment that significantly reduces the amount of fossil fuels burned in the energy production process. The technology described in this disclosure relates to providing a constant flow of thermal heated water to a boiler (e.g., heated using a fossil fuel), which in turn provides steam to operate an electricity generator. The thermal heated water raises the temperature of the water used for creating steam thus reducing the overall boil time (and consequently reducing the amount of time fossil fuels are being consumed).
Claims20
A system configured to generate electricity, the system comprising:
- a first storage tank configured to hold a liquid;
- a pre-heat system;
- a second storage tank configured to hold the liquid;
- a boiler;
- and
- an energy source, wherein the pre-heat system comprises:
- one or more pre-heat tanks for heating the liquid;
- an encasing at least partially surrounding the one or more pre-heat tanks;
- and
- one or more support components configured to support the encasing and cause the encasing to move, wherein
- one or more input pipes connect the first storage tank to the pre-heat system,
- one or more output pipes connect the pre-heat system to the second storage tank,
- the first storage tank provides the liquid to the pre-heat system using the one or more input pipes, and
- the pre-heat system is configured to heat the liquid and provide the heated liquid to the second storage tank using the one or more output pipes.
A system configured to generate heated water, the system comprising:
- a first storage tank configured to hold water;
- a pre-heat system;
- and
- a second storage tank configured to hold the water, wherein the pre-heat system comprises:
- one or more pre-heat tanks for heating the water;
- an encasing at least partially surrounding the one or more pre-heat tanks;
- and
- one or more support components configured to support the encasing and cause the encasing to move, wherein
- one or more input pipes connect the first storage tank to the pre-heat system,
- one or more output pipes connect the pre-heat system to the second storage tank,
- the first storage tank provides the water to the pre-heat system using the one or more input pipes, and
- the pre-heat system is configured to heat the water and provide the heated water to the second storage tank using the one or more output pipes.
A pre-heat system configured to heat water, the pre-heat system comprising:
- one or more pre-heat tanks for heating the water;
- an encasing at least partially surrounding the one or more pre-heat tanks;
- and
- one or more support components configured to support the encasing and cause the encasing to move, wherein
- one or more input pipes connect a first storage tank to the pre-heat system,
- one or more output pipes connect the pre-heat system to a second storage tank,
- the water is provided to the pre-heat system using the one or more input pipes, and
- the pre-heat system is configured to heat the water and provide the heated water to the second storage tank using the one or more output pipes.
