Circulating closed-circuit hydroelectric power station

PendingCN122349595APipe waterPower station
A horizontal, vertically movable, watertight paradoxical membrane is vertically raised and lowered in the lower part of a combined container. The combined container has a characteristic shape and consists of a lower and an upper section. The lower section of the container has a much larger diameter or cross-section and a much lower height than the upper section. The upper section of the combined container is a long, vertical pipe with a small diameter. The lower and upper sections of the combined container are connected to each other. A control valve is located on the long vertical pipe near the connection point with the lower section of the combined container. When the control valve opens, a continuous column of combined water is formed in the combined container. The raising of the paradoxical membrane forces water above the membrane out of the lower section of the combined container. Water enters the long vertical pipe from the lower section. Water flows out of the combined container at the top of the long vertical pipe. The water raised to a higher level is primarily used for power generation in hydroelectric power plants. Secondly, the water raised to a higher level can be used for another useful purpose. The paradoxical membrane is an integral part of every closed-loop hydroelectric power plant, rising and lowering within the lower section of the combined container. Circulating closed-loop hydroelectric power plants can be classified according to their structural design. Another important classification method is based on the method of raising the paradox membrane. A circulating closed-loop hydroelectric power plant is a closed system in which a finite amount of water circulates in a process that is repeated cyclically.
