Abstract
The invention relates to a power station comprising at least one steam turbine and/or gas turbine which is connected to at least one absorption type refrigeration machine in order to produce refrigeration, whereby the absorption type refrigeration machine is operated by means of steam which is taken from the steam turbine, or by means of waste heat produced by the gas turbine.
Claims8
A method for using a power station for conditioning air, comprising:
- operating a steam turbine having a low pressure section;
- operating a gas turbine with waste heat therefrom used to generate operating steam for the steam turbine;
- fluidly connecting an absorption-type refrigeration machine to the steam turbine;
- extracting steam from the low-pressure section;
- using the extracted steam to operate the absorption-type refrigeration machine for centralized air-conditioning of a structure and
- fluidly connecting the absorption-type refrigeration machine to cool intake air for the gas turbine.
