Abstract
Abstract A combined gas turbine and steam power plant for generating electrical energy includes a combustion chamber for the complete combustion of solid fuels with the aid of a stationary fluidized bed generating steam for the operation of the steam power plant, the combustion chamber having a nozzle bottom, a fuel delivery point above the nozzle bottom, and a wall with at least one opening formed therein for the removal of combustible gas produced from a fuel degasification and gasification zone forming during operation in the fluidized bed in the vicinity of the fuel delivery point, a combustor of the gas turbine plant in which compressed air required for the operation of the gas turbine is heated by combustion of combustible gas, and a combustible gas line connected between the at least one opening and the combustor.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
161 words
Combined gas turbine and steam power plant for generating electrical energy, comprising: a combustion chamber for the complete combustion of solid fuels with the aid of a stationary fluidized bed in said combustion chamber; said combustion chamber having as zone in the fluidized bed forming during operation of the fluidized bed in which combustible gas is produced by gasification or degasification of the solid fuels, means for generating steam for the steam power plant, a nozzle bottom, a fuel delivery point above said nozzle bottom, and a vertical wall with at least one opening formed therein in said zone above said delivery point for the removal of combustible gas; and a combustor of the gas turbine plant in which compressed air required for the operation of the gas turbine is heated, and a combustible gas line connected between said at least one opening and said combustor for supplying combustible gas to be burned in said combustor for heating the compressed air.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
161 words
Combined gas turbine and steam power plant for generating electrical energy, comprising: a combustion chamber for the complete combustion of solid fuels with the aid of a stationary fluidized bed in said combustion chamber; said combustion chamber having as zone in the fluidized bed forming during operation of the fluidized bed in which combustible gas is produced by gasification or degasification of the solid fuels, means for generating steam for the steam power plant, a nozzle bottom, a fuel delivery point above said nozzle bottom, and a vertical wall with at least one opening formed therein in said zone above said delivery point for the removal of combustible gas; and a combustor of the gas turbine plant in which compressed air required for the operation of the gas turbine is heated, and a combustible gas line connected between said at least one opening and said combustor for supplying combustible gas to be burned in said combustor for heating the compressed air.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
Plant according to claim 1, wherein said at least one opening is in the form of a plurality of openings disposed substantially along a horizontal plane and uniformly distributed about the periphery of said combustion chamber wall.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
Plant according to claim 1, wherein said fluidized bed has a given vertical thickness, and said at least one opening is vertically spaced from said fuel delivery point by substantially between 1/5 and 1/15 of said given vertical thickness.
