HANDLING AND STORAGE Units are delivered complete, placed on pallets. The delivered units become a Customer’s property once the packing list has been signed by a Customer’s representative. Immediately after the reception of the devices, check the condition of the packaging and whether the delivery is complete on the basis of the attached specifications and packing lists. Unloading of the units, handling them onto the assembly site and handling of the unit parts to the site of sitting must be performed using specialized equipment and by properly qualified personnel. The units in the facility must be stored in a hardened, dry area under a roof. A hardened area should be considered flat, horizontal, hard surface the properties of which shall remain unchanged under the weather conditions. Units and unit elements should be stored away from areas where machine traffic (vehicles, lifts and other construction machinery) is present, in a place where they are not exposed to mechanical damages, moisture, aggressive chemical agents, dusts, sands and other external factors that may affect the condition of the units and elements stored. Before lifting of the device make sure that inspection doors and flaps are closed. Units should be transported only in a position in which they are normally operated and blocks must not be stacked when stored. Units and their parts should be stored in rooms where: » relative humidity ϕ< 80% at t=20OC » ambient temperature -40OC < t < +60OC » the devices are prevented from exposure to dusts, caustic gases and vapours, and other chemical agents causing corrosion to the equipment and structural elements of the device. For the storage period unseal the film. Any damages resulting from improper handling of the units or their elements in the facility, unloading and storage are not covered by the warranty, and any claims in this respect shall not be considered by JUWENT. 5. SITTING, MOUNTING AND CONNECTIONS 5.1. SITTING The unit should be set on: » foundation screed; » steel foundation framework embedded in the floor; » specially prepared rigid steel structure. Foundation, framework or steel structure must be flat and level to ensure that stability is kept throughout the entire period of use and be of sufficient strength adequate to the weight of the unit. 10 www.juwent.com.pl 5.2. SITTING LOCATION The unit should be set so as connections of the related systems (ventilation ducts, pipeworks, cable routing) create no collision with inspection panels. In order to ensure efficient mounting, use and service of the units, keep a minimum distance equalling to at least the unit width +200mm between the operation side and the structural elements (walls, supports, pipeworks, etc.) present in the installation site however no less than 100cm.

  • A Lightweight, High-Effectiveness Recuperator for Next-Generation Airborne Cryocoolers
    A Lightweight, High-Effectiveness Recuperator for Next-Generation Airborne Cryocoolers A. Niblick, J. Cox, M. Zagarola Creare LLC, Hanover, NH, 03755 USA ABSTRACT Next-generation turboelectric aircraft aim to decouple power generation from propulsion by using gas turbines driving electric generators connected to electric propulsion motors. The power density requirements for these electric machines can only be achieved with superconductors, which in turn require lightweight, high-capacity cryocoolers. However, current cryocooler technologies offer cooling capacities that are too low and masses that are too high to meet projected aircraft needs. For turbo-Brayton cryocoolers, the recuperative heat exchanger historically has been the largest and most massive component, and offers the most potential for size and weight reduction.

  • Compact Heat Exchangers for Microturbines
    Compact Heat Exchangers for Microturbines R.K. Shah Rochester Institute of Technology Dept. of Mechanical Engineering 76 Lomb Memorial Drive Rochester NY 14623-5604 USA [email protected] ABSTRACT With distributed power generation market, the most economical solution today is to generate power through small gas turbine systems, arbitrarily categorized as microturbines (5 – 200 kW) and miniturbines (200 – 500 kW). The thermal efficiency of such microturbines is about 20% or less if no recuperator is used in the system. Using a recuperator (regenerator can also be considered but has a number of problems) operating at 87% effectiveness, the efficiency of the gas turbine system increases to about 30%, a substantial performance improvement. However, cost of the recuperator is about 25 – 30% of the total power plant. This means that the heat exchanger (recuperator) must be designed to get high performance with minimum cost. While the offset strip fin geometry is one of the highest performing surface it is also quite expensive to manufacture. This necessitates the use of all prime surface heat exchangers with no brazing. In this paper, after providing the necessary concise information on microturbines, the discussion is presented on various types of heat exchanger surfaces and novel designs considered for the cost effective heat exchangers and packaging in the system. For hot fluid inlet temperature of less than about 675°C, stainless steel material can be used for the heat exchanger, which has reasonable cost. However, for higher inlet temperatures in heat exchangers associated with higher turbine inlet temperatures, superalloys are essential which increases the material cost of the exchanger alone by a factor of 4 to 5.

Among these systems, humid air turbines have been previously identified as promising candidates to deliver high efficiency and power output with notably low overall system volume, weight and emissions footprint. This paper investigates the performance of an advanced humid air turbine power cycle and aims to identify the dependencies between key cycle design variables, thermal performance, weight and cost by means of a parametric design optimization approach. Designs of the main heat exchangers are generated, aiming to ascertain the relationship between their technology level and the total weight and acquisition cost of them. The research outcomes show that the recuperator and the intercooler are the two components with the largest influence on the thermal efficiency and the total cost. The total weight of the power system is driven by the technology level of the recuperator and the economizer.

  • Numerical Analysis of an Organic Rankine Cycle with Adjustable Working Fluid Composition, a Volumetric Expander and a Recuperator
    Article Numerical Analysis of an Organic Rankine Cycle with Adjustable Working Fluid Composition, a Volumetric Expander and a Recuperator Peter Collings and Zhibin Yu * School of Engineering, University of Glasgow, Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +44-141-330-2530 Academic Editor: Andrew J. Haslam Received: 31 January 2017; Accepted: 22 March 2017; Published: 27 March 2017 Abstract: Conventional Organic Rankine Cycles (ORCs) using ambient air as their coolant cannot fully utilize the greater temperature differential available to them during the colder months. However, changing the working fluid composition so its boiling temperature matches the ambient temperature as it changes has been shown to have potential to increase year-round electricity generation. Previous research has assumed that the cycle pressure ratio is able to vary without a major loss in the isentropic efficiency of the turbine. This paper investigates if small scale ORC systems that normally use positive-displacement expanders with fixed expansion ratios could also benefit from this new concept. A numerical model was firstly established, based on which a comprehensive analysis was then conducted. The results showed that it can be applied to systems with positive-displacement expanders and improve their year-round electricity generation. However, such an improvement is less than that of the systems using turbine expanders with variable expansion ratios. Furthermore, such an improvement relies on heat recovery via the recuperator. This is because expanders with a fixed expansion ratio have a relatively constant pressure ratio between their inlet and outlet. The increase of pressure ratio between the evaporator and condenser by tuning the condensing temperature to match colder ambient condition in winter cannot be utilised by such expanders.
