Constant-pressure air storage system with water reservoir for gas turbine power plants

摘要

Provided in the compensation pool (3) is a separation device (10-24; 25, 27-35) for the water dissolved in the air, into which at least part of the cross-section of the water shaft (2) opens. The water entering the separation device is held under excess pressure in relation to the atmosphere by pressure-maintaining means (13-24; 27-35). Any desired reduction in the water level in the separation device can thereby be achieved, depending on the pressure set, in contrast to free risers. <IMAGE>
