Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to a steam Rankine cycle plant and a method for operating thereof. The plant comprises a higher-pressure steam turbine with an outlet and a reheater fluidly connected to the higher-pressure steam turbine. In addition, the plant has a lower-pressure steam turbine with an inlet that is fluidly connected to the reheater. The plant also has a bypass that is fluidly connecting the outlet and the inlet so as to bypass the reheater.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A steam Rankine cycle plant, comprising: a higher-pressure steam turbine with an outlet for exhausting exhaust steam; a reheater fluidly connected to the higher-pressure steam turbine; a lower-pressure steam turbine, with an inlet fluidly connected to the reheater; and a bypass fluidly connecting the outlet of the higher-pressure steam turbine and the inlet of the lower-pressure steam turbine so as to bypass the reheater, wherein the higher-pre…
