Abstract

A heat exchanger in a close cycle gas turbine power plant has, on its heat abduction side, a system of cooling units connected to it by means of which the efficiency of the plant is considerably increased. Such units consist of evaporators and vapor turbines with condensers and air coolers, the vapor turbines being driven by vapors generated in the evaporators. The latter, in turn, are heated by the heat abduction side of the heat exchanger in the main cycle. The exhaust vapors are precipitated in condensers and cooled down by air coolers and recoolers and partly circulated back to the heat abduction side of the heat exchanger in the main cycle.
