Abstract

A new method of increasing the maximum temperature of steam-turbine plant cycle, which enables to increase considerably its thermal and effective efficiency, is described. The essence of the method lies in mixing of superheated steam exiting from super-heater of boiler with products of combustion of hydrocarbon fuel in oxygen. Such solution allows to bypass problem of mechanical strength and corrosion stability of super-heater tubes at high temperatures. One of the consequences of implementation of the method is output of considerable quantities of pure carbon dioxide, which can be utilized or buried in order to reduce its release into atmosphere.
