Embodiment Construction

[0069] Hereinafter, reference is made to the first incident implementation of the present invention figure 1 as well as figure 2 Be explained.

[0070] The power generation device 20 of the present embodiment is a device that generates power using the energy of steam generated by a steam source (steam generating mechanism) 10 such as a boiler and used in a steam utilization facility (hereinafter also simply referred to as a “processor”) 12.

[0071] The steam source 10 and the processor 12 are connected by a main pipe 14 through which steam flows. A control valve 16 is provided on the main pipe 14.

[0072] The processor 12 is, for example, a device that uses steam, such as a water heater, a heater, a dryer, a cleaning device, and a sterilizer. In addition, the control valve 16 functions as a pressure reducing valve when the power generating device 20 is not generating power, and is a valve that closes the main pipe 14 when the power generating device 20 is generating power.

Abstract

The invention provides an electricity generation apparatus capable of inhibiting generation of condensation water from steam in the electricity generation process. The related electricity generation apparatus (20) uses supplied steam for electricity generation, exhausts the steam used in the electricity generation, and is characterized in that the electricity generation apparatus comprises a volume expander (22), which generates power corresponding to volume change of the expansion chamber (40) due to pressure of steam introduced into the expansion chamber (40); an electricity generator (24), which is connected to the volume expander (22) through a power delivery mechanism (64) to accept power from the volume expander (22); a condensation water inhibiting mechanism (58), which is used for inhibiting generation of condensation water from the steam because that the supplied steam passes through the volume expander.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a power generation device that drives a generator by a driving source that obtains power (driving power) from supplied steam, and more particularly, to a power generation device that uses a positive displacement expander as a driving source to drive the generator. Background technique [0002] In steam treatment in factories and the like, as a power generation device that uses the remaining pressure difference of steam to generate power, the following power generation device described in Patent Document 1 is known. [0003] This power generation device has: a screw expander as a driving source that obtains power from steam supplied from an upstream steam source (boiler, etc.); and a generator connected to the screw expander to receive the power from the screw expander . The screw expander is a positive displacement expander, and a rotational force (power) is obtained in accordance with a change in the volume of the expansion...
