Table 2-1 Steam Cycle Cooling System Conditions Power Plant Cooling Systems Quantity Nominal plant capacity Configuration Gas turbine output Steam turbine output Steam turbine exhaust flow Turbine back pressure Cooling system heat load Plant heat input Overall plant efficiency, LHV Steam turbine heat rate Steam turbine efficiency, LHV Gas turbine efficiency, LHV Once-Through Cooling Value 500 MWe 2 x 1 165 MW each; (330 MW total) 170 MWe 1,000,000 pounds per hour @ 5% moisture 2.5 in Hga; (Tcond = 108.7 oF) 980 million Btu per hour Performance Characteristics 3.1 x 109 Btu per hour 55% 9,200 Btu/kwh @ 2.5 in Hga 37% 36% In this simplest case, cooling water is drawn from a local source (i.e., ocean, lake, river, or other), passed through the condenser tubes, and returned to the environment at a higher temperature. Steam is condensed in a shell-and-tube surface condenser. The system is shown schematically in Figure 2-2. For the base plant defined in Table 2-1, the cooling system load is met with circulating water flows of 500 to 750 gpm/MWe (30,000 to 45,000 gal/MWh) and a water temperature rise of about 15 to 25oF. Advantages are • Highest efficiency, • Lowest installation and operating costs, and • Low water consumption. 2-3

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
