Method of maintaining continuous peak load operation at power generating centers based on fuel

Claim 1

THE METHOD OF MAKING NITRIC OXIDE FROM AIR AT SUBSTANTIALLY ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE WHICH COMPRISES: PREHEATING A FLOW OF SAID AIR TO A TEMPERATURE OF APPROXIMATELY 2700*F. BY PASSGE THROUGH HEAT ACCUMULATORS PREVIOUSLY CHARGED WITH HEAT BY THE TRAVERSE IN THE REVERSE DIRECTION OF HOT NITRIC OXIDE CONTAINING GAS WITH AN ENTERING TEMPERTURE OF APPROXIMATELY 2800*F.; FURTHER HEATING SAID PRE-HEATED AIR BY THE COMBUSTION OF SUFFICIENT FUEL THEREIN TO REACH A TEMPERATURE BETWEEN A LOW OF 3000*F. AND A HIGH OF 4800*F.; COMMINGLING SAID CURRENT OF HIGHLY HEATED AIR AND GAS, NOW CONTAINING THE PERCENTAGE OF NITRIC OXIDE CORRESPONDING TO EQUILIBRIUM AT THE SELECTED TEMPERTURE, WITH SUFFICIENT RELATIVELY COLD AIR IN A STATE OF VIOLETN TURBULENCE TO REDUCE THE TEMPERATURE OF THE MIXTURE, SUBSTANTIALLY INSTANTANEOUSLY, TO APPROXIMATELY 2800*F.; PASSING SAIS MIXTURE THROUGH HEAT ACCUMULATORS TO ABSTRACT SUBSTANTIALLY ALL THE SENSIBLE HEAT THEREIN; SUBSEQUENTLY CONVEYING SAID STORED HEAT TO A CURRENT OF AIR, IN THE REVENSE DIRECTION, THUS PRE-HETING SAME TO APPROXIMATELY 2700*F.; RE-CYCLING TO THE COMBUSTION PHASE THAT PART OF SAID PRE-HEATED AIR REQUIRED THEREIN AND DISCHARGING THE REMAINDER AS SURPLUS.

Claim 2

THE METHOD OF MAKING NITRIC OXIDE FROM AIR AT SUBSTANTIALLY ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE WHICH COMPRISES: PREHEATING A FLOW OF SAID AIR TO A TEMPERATURE OF APPROXIMATELY 2700*F. BY PASSGE THROUGH HEAT ACCUMULATORS PREVIOUSLY CHARGED WITH HEAT BY THE TRAVERSE IN THE REVERSE DIRECTION OF HOT NITRIC OXIDE CONTAINING GAS WITH AN ENTERING TEMPERTURE OF APPROXIMATELY 2800*F.; FURTHER HEATING SAID PRE-HEATED AIR BY THE COMBUSTION OF SUFFICIENT FUEL THEREIN TO REACH A TEMPERATURE BETWEEN A LOW OF 3000*F. AND A HIGH OF 4800*F.; COMMINGLING SAID CURRENT OF HIGHLY HEATED AIR AND GAS, NOW CONTAINING THE PERCENTAGE OF NITRIC OXIDE CORRESPONDING TO EQUILIBRIUM AT THE SELECTED TEMPERTURE, WITH SUFFICIENT RELATIVELY COLD AIR IN A STATE OF VIOLETN TURBULENCE TO REDUCE THE TEMPERATURE OF THE MIXTURE, SUBSTANTIALLY INSTANTANEOUSLY, TO APPROXIMATELY 2800*F.; PASSING SAIS MIXTURE THROUGH HEAT ACCUMULATORS TO ABSTRACT SUBSTANTIALLY ALL THE SENSIBLE HEAT THEREIN; SUBSEQUENTLY CONVEYING SAID STORED HEAT TO A CURRENT OF AIR, IN THE REVENSE DIRECTION, THUS PRE-HETING SAME TO APPROXIMATELY 2700*F.; RE-CYCLING TO THE COMBUSTION PHASE THAT PART OF SAID PRE-HEATED AIR REQUIRED THEREIN AND DISCHARGING THE REMAINDER AS SURPLUS.
