Equipment used to transport and use gas flows between the different beds and other equipment for electric energy production.

NameDescription

Overheater 1Overheater 1 is an IC (heat exchanger). It is a piece of equipment consisting of a shell and tubes, whose function is to transfer gas from bed 2 to bed 3, by overheating the gas
Overheater 2Overheater 2 is also an IC. It is used for transferring overheated steam going out of bed 1 to the turbine
Economizer 1Economizer 1 is a vertical IC, used to cool down the gas going out of bed 4 to TAF
Boiler1,700 m2 surface, 167,000 m3/hr. output flow
TurbineVapor pressure 60 bar and medium temperature label, connected to a 26 MW generator
