THE WORKING PROCESS
GPL BOMB : Energy source.
( Any fuel can be used, for example wood)
The boiler turns GPL into flame "heat"
the heat passes through the evaporator by evaporating the gas
r-245fa "liquid phase " contained inside
The heated gas ( 120 °c) evaporates and increases in volume, but being closed inside the vessel, the pressure increases accordingly (20bar)
+ TEMPERATURE = + VOLUME = + PRESSURE
​
The gas R-245fa at high pressure reaches the turbine and passing through the jets "nozzles" increases speed reaching about 450km/h
The gas at 450 km/h enters the impeller by rotating it, yielding part of its speed (energy).
The speed at the mean impeller circumference is about half the speed of the inlet gas ( 220km/h =about 24000 rpm/min)
The impeller rotates the synchronous alternator connected to it (24000 rpm/min) producing electrical energy
The gas coming out of the impeller and then from the turbine has lost much of its own speed (energy yielded by the impeller) but still possesses a high temperature (100°C), that is thermal energy
The hot gas enters the condenser (or exchanger) which can be air or water (or both) thus releasing the heat to the air.
The cold condensed gas then returns in the liquid phase
Gas in liquid phase (cold) goes to the receiver "deposit"
From the deposit the liquid gas is sucked up by the food pump that returns it to the evaporator, closing the cycle.
The final result is:
Production of thermal energy
Production of electrical energy
FROM ONE SOURCE ONLY
IN CONCLUSION
The gain of the cycle system "rankyne cycle" lies in the fact that the consumption of the food pump is much lower than the yield of the turbine.
In fact, even in a normal steam plant, the work of the pump to pump the mass of 1kg of water (1litre) is very small compared to the energy produced by the turbine.
In fact, 1 kg of water (1 litre) becomes 1 kg of steam but corresponds to a volume of about 1600 litres "at atmospheric pressure".
From here you can see the gain:
The turbine will have 1600 L of steam to be partly converted into energy.
This machine also produces heat to be recovered for heating the building.
