HEAT SHIFTING SYSTEMS IN GAS-TURBINE PROCESSES .1. THERMODYNAMIC FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES
The economic significance of gas turbines for the generation of electricity and steam has increased considerably in recent years. The importance of the utilization of the waste heat from the combined process follows this development rapidly. In the case of an existing plant, however, the proportion of the generated electricity or steam load is only variable within very narrow limits. The heat shifting systems, known up to now, with variable admission of the steam turbine enable, however, only an independent mode of operation of the plant within a relatively narrow range of the electricity of heat demand, respectively. The new type of heat shifting systems can extend the latitude of this range considerably and at the same time increase the electricity exponent and the efficiency of the plant. With it, the old recuperation principle becomes relevant again. In Part 1 presented of this paper, the basic thermodynamic interrelations as well as the emission problem of the gas turbine in the recuperative cycle are demonstrated. Part 2 shows possible cases of application.
