Description:

Microturbines Turbosfera – energy saving-installation for energy recovery from excess pressure of natural gas and thermal energy with subsequent transformation into electrical energy. It allows you to use low-grade energy resources such as energy, pressure and exhaust heat to generate electricity, while working without consuming any fuel, but only using part of the already expended energy for their operation.

Electric power unit ranging from a few kW to 500 kW and above, depends on the operating conditions. Inlet pressure 0,3–5,5 MPa, flow rate of 500 cubic meters/hour.

 

The benefits of Turbosphere to other turbines:

– high efficiency,

compact,

– versatility

multi-layered,

– slow-moving,

tightness.

 

Design and working principle:

In a microturbine Turbosphere used a completely new approach to the design of these units. The installation combines a turbine, heat exchanger and generator.

In the microturbine turbosphere the only one working wheel. But it is a multi-stage expansion of the gas stream. This is possible due to the supply of the working fluid from one stage to another through the channels of the heat exchanger. In them is heated the gas between stages. Working body moves repeatedly in a circular spiral inside the tubes of the heat exchanger, which form a spherical surface. The outside channels are washed by heating heat-transfer agent.

High efficiency Turbosphere working on any kind of a vapor or gas due to take place in it processes. In this turbine fully implemented multistage extension of the stream of gas intermediate of its heating. As known from the thermodynamics, such a process approaches the isothermal, in which it is possible to obtain the maximum work and, consequently, maximum efficiency.

The working fluid in the expansion process is cooled to a certain temperature, respectively in the heat exchanger between the stages must be heated to the same temperature. Multistage allows the supply of heat to heat the gas stream immediately, telling him a large amount of heat, but gradually. Therefore, relatively low temperature coolant, it can even be cold water with a temperature of 10 degrees.

Microturbines Turbosfera has no gearbox, which greatly reduces its weight and dimensions.

The generator is located inside of the turbine housing. The frequency of rotation of the working wheel to 3000 rpm and above.

 

Versatility:

Microturbines Turbosfera is characterized by the versatility of its application:

First, it was originally developed as a replacement of the installation of TDU, or as it is called: a turbo-expander, DHA (replacement unit), compared to (gas utilization top-pressure recovery turbine), turbine recycling, etc. In this regard, the microturbine Turbosfera able to perform the role of turbine, mounted on hydraulic fracturing regulating point, regulating station, gas distributing stations, is designed to reduce the pressure of natural gas. Traditionally, the pressure of the gas flow is reduced by throttling, i.e. the creation of resistance in gas pressure regulators. This situation is justified by the availability of cheap energy resources. Today the situation has changed.

Secondly, in developed countries, the simple pressure regulators come in such turbines, although it would be better to say not “instead”, and “together”. This is because the manufactured machines are not perfect and not capable of handling the pressure as well as gas pressure regulators. Turbosphere deprived of this essential lack. With the development of the production of gas micro-turbines reaches a new level.

Thirdly, a similar situation exists in the throttling of steam in the boiler. The turbine is employed instead of pressure-reducing and cooling unit capable of ensuring, at least, own needs of the boiler. Such turbines have named pressure turbine or turbine type R. the Microturbine Turbosfera here, due to the possibility of pressure regulation and high energy conversion efficiency, looks very competitive.

Fourth, the possibility of using low-potential heat carrier is able to open new horizons in the application of microturbines Turbosphere. Namely, the utilization of low-grade waste heat that is available absolutely any enterprise. This assumes the use of closed-cycle low-boiling substance (freon, butane, etc.), which will be heated by waste heat. Such use of microturbines Turbosphere enables the successful use of secondary energy resources of enterprises.

 

Application:

the transformation of energy of excessive pressure of natural gas in the electric power instead of lose power when throttling at GDS and frac

the transformation of energy of excessive pressure of water vapor in the electric power instead of lose power when the throttles the steam in the boiler,

generation of electricity at low steam-turbine installations for disposal of waste low-temperature heat,

electricity generation in gas turbine plants on organic fuel,

production of electric and thermal energy in turbine plants operating on binary gas-steam cycle (combined cycle plant, CCGT),

use in the apparatus of supercharged diesel engines,

development of refrigeration and liquefaction of gases,

use as drives, fans, smoke exhausters, etc.
