Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A steam power plant with a liquid/steam circuit includes a steam generator for converting a liquid into steam, a steam turbine and a condenser for converting the steam into the liquid, a generator and a liquid cooling system for the generator, wherein the liquid cooling system has a connection to the liquid/steam circuit via a bypass-like path of flow through which the liquid from the liquid/steam circuit can be branched out to the liquid cooling system and can be led back from the liquid cooling system to the liquid/steam circuit.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A steam power plant, having a liquid/steam circuit with a boiler for converting a liquid into steam, a steam turbine and a condenser for converting the steam into the liquid, a generator and a liquid cooling system for the generator, wherein the liquid cooling system is connected to the liquid/steam circuit via a bypass flow path through which the liquid can be made to diverge from the liquid/steam circuit such that it flows to the liquid cooling system and from the liquid cooling system back to the liquid/steam circuit, wherein the bypass flow path has at least one bypass pump, wherein the at least one bypass pump is arranged downstream of the generator cooling system and upstream of the convergence point of the bypass flow path and the liquid/steam circuit, wherein the bypass flow path has a device for de-mineralizing the liquid, which device is arranged upstream of the generator. 2 . The steam power plant as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the divergent part of the bypass flow path has a divergence point, from the liquid/steam circuit, arranged downstream of the condenser and upstream of the boiler. 3 . The steam power plant as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the liquid/steam circuit has at least one condensate pump arranged downstream of the condenser and upstream of the divergence point, from the liquid/steam circuit, of the bypass flow path. 4 . The steam power plant as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the convergent part of the bypass flow path has a convergence point, with the liquid/steam circuit, arranged downstream of the divergence point of the bypass flow path and upstream of the boiler.
