Combined steam power plant and water distillation system
Abstract
Abstract A COMBINED STEAM POWER PLANT AND WATER DISTILLATION SYSTEM IS DISCLOSED WHEREIN THE DISTILLATION SYSTEM IS LOCATED BETWEEN THE FIRST AND LAST STAGES OF THE STREAM TURBINE USED IN THE POWER PLANT. THE DISTILLATION SYSTEM DOES NOT FULLY COOL THE STEAM; RATHER, THE STEAM IS RETURNED TO THE LAST TURBINE STAGE WHERE IT DOES WORK AND PRODUCES POWER AS IT EXPANDS TO THE CONVENTIONAL TURBINE CONDENSER PRESSURE. IN AN ALTERNATE EMBODIMENT, THE LAST STAGE OF THE TURBINE IS A SECONDARY FLUID TURBINE. IN THIS EMBODIMENT, THE SECONDARY FLUID, WHICH HAS A GREATER VAPOR DENSITY THAN STEAM AT THE RELATIVELY LOW TEMPERATURE OF THE LAST STAGE, IS VAPORIZED BY THE LAST CONDENSTION STAGE OF THE DISTILLATION SYSTEM.
