Turbo expander-electro generator units on the basis of the currently reactive and vortex turbines PP156

Appointment

Turbo expander - electric generating units based on the  currently reactive (TEU - CPT) and vortex (TEU - V) turbines are designed to produce electrical energy from the energy of compressed gas or steam, which is now irretrievably lost on regulators and pressure reducers

Main advantages of the development

The existing world analogues are characterized by relatively high capital costs. They do not provide the minimum acceptable payback period. The advantages of CRT allow to create TEU with a payback period of 1 - 2 years, cheaper, simple structurally and technologically, reliable and easy to operate compared to TDA on the classical blade turbines basis

State of intellectual property protection

Received 3 patents of Ukraine for the invention and utility models

Market demand

The development can be applicable for gas distribution stations, which serve to reduce the gas pressure to the level required for its safe consumption

The main characteristics, the essence of the development

The main element of TEU - CRT, which determines its  prospects and advantages, is a bladeless currently reactive turbine (CRT). The CRT principle is based on the potential energy conversion of the compressed gas into the kinetic jet energy. It flows out of the traction nozzle and is at a given distance from the rotation axis. TEU - CRT consists of a turbo expander on the basis of the currently reactive and vortex turbine; single - stage reducer; a three - phase alternator, for which the asynchronous electric motor serves ; automatic control systems, control protection systems and power connection and the produced control of energy

TEU - CRT unit - 100/130 - 5, 5/0, 6 AJE (air - jet engine)

The development readiness status

The development is implemented in industrial enterprises
