A method for converting the low-grade thermal energy of water into electricity

Аннотация

A significant part of the low-grade waste heat steam and hot water produced in the power-generation turbines of thermal power plants and internal combustion engines forcedly dispersed into the environment, as well as of the thermal energy of water heated in solar boilers could be used to produce hydrogen (and simultaneously oxygen). A facility for the cost-effective implementation of the process has been developed. Conditions have been determined under which the electric power generated when using produced hydrogen is much higher than the expended energy.
