Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure relates to a boiler water supply preheater system which preheats water (boiler water supply) supplied to a boiler by a predetermined preheating means, wherein the preheating means is a Rankine cycle (thermal cycle) which moves heat of a waste heat source in the boiler to the boiler water supply to perform preheating and drives a generator to generate electric power using a heat medium.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A boiler water supply preheater system which preheats water (boiler water supply) supplied to a boiler by a predetermined preheating means, wherein the preheating means is a thermal cycle which moves heat of a waste heat source in the boiler to the boiler water supply to perform preheating and generates electric power using a predetermined heat medium. 2 . The boiler water supply preheater system of claim 1 , wherein the preheating means is equipped with an auxiliary heat exchanger which exchanges heat between the waste heat source and the boiler water supply to preheat the boiler water supply, in addition to the thermal cycle. 3 . The boiler water supply preheater system of claim 1 , wherein the waste heat source is drained hot water obtained by using water vapor generated by the boiler as a predetermined application. 4 . The boiler water supply preheater system of claim 2 , wherein the waste heat source is drained hot water obtained by using water vapor generated by the boiler as a predetermined application. 5 . The boiler water supply preheater system of claim 3 , wherein the heat medium is a low-boiling-point heat medium having a lower boiling point than water. 6 . The boiler water supply preheater system of claim 4 , wherein the heat medium is a low-boiling-point heat medium having a lower boiling point than water. 7 . The boiler water supply preheater system of claim 1 , wherein the waste heat source is a combustion exhaust gas generated in a combustor of the boiler. 8 . The boiler water supply preheater system of claim 2 , wherein the waste heat source is a combustion exhaust gas generated in a combustor of the boiler. 9 . The boiler water supply preheater system of claim 7 , wherein the heat medium is a high-boiling-point heat medium having a higher boiling point than water. 10 . The boiler water supply preheater system of claim 8 , wherein the heat medium is a high-boiling-point heat medium having a higher boiling point than water. 11 . A method of preheating boiler water supply in which water (boiler water supply) supplied to a boiler is preheated, the method comprising: moving heat of a waste heat source in the boiler to the boiler water supply to perform preheating, and generating electric power using a predetermined thermal cycle.
