Abstract
A power generation system in which one or more vapor generators are provided for driving a turbine having a relatively high pressure section and at least one relatively low pressure section. A reheater is disposed between the high pressure turbine section and the low pressure turbine section and its outlet is connected to the latter section. The steam outlet of the vapor generator is connected directly to the high pressure turbine section and directly to the reheater, and the outlet of the reheater is connected directly to the low pressure turbine section and directly to the condenser.
Claims13
A power generating system comprising vapor generating means, a turbine having a relatively high pressure section and at least one relatively low pressure section, first fluid transfer means connecting said vapor generating means to said high pressure turbine section, a condenser, second fluid transfer means connecting said turbine to said condenser, third fluid transfer means for connecting said vapor generating means directly to said condenser, at least two reheaters connected in parallel, and fourth fluid transfer means connecting each reheater between said high pressure turbine section and said low pressure turbine section.
A power generating system comprising vapor generating means including at least two boilers and at least two superheaters, a turbine, first fluid transfer means connecting said boilers to said superheaters and said superheaters to said turbine, a condenser, second fluid transfer means connecting said turbine to said condenser, third fluid transfer means for connecting said boilers directly to said condenser, at least two reheaters, and fourth fluid transfer means respectively connecting said superheaters directly to said reheaters and said reheaters directly to said condenser.
A power generation system comprising two vapor generating means, a relatively high pressure turbine section and at least one relatively low pressure turbine section, two reheaters, a condenser, fluid transfer means connecting said vapor generating means in parallel directly to said high pressure turbine section, fluid transfer means respectively connecting said vapor generating means directly to said reheaters, and fluid transfer means connecting said reheaters directly to said low pressure turbine section and directly to said condenser.
