INTEGRATED AIR-SEPARATING AND WATER-HEATING APPARATUS INTENDED FOR A BOILER

摘要

The invention relates to an integrated apparatus including an air compressor (31) driven by a steam turbine (17), a first heat exchanger (29), means for feeding water into the first heat exchanger and from there into a boiler (1), means for feeding compressed air from the compressor into the first heat exchanger, and an air-separating device (49) supplied with air compressed in the compressor, heating means (3) for heating the water downstream from the first exchanger, a second exchanger (13), means for feeding water from the first exchanger into the heating means, from the heating means into the second exchanger, and from the second exchanger into the boiler, and means for feeding air into the second exchanger upstream from the first exchanger, without preheating between the compressor and the second exchanger.
