This thesis aims to gas installation of the coal boiler and its thermal recount. In the first part, there is implemented calculation of the combusting chamber. After that follows the recalculation of heat exchange surfaces and proposal tube air heater, which will replace the existing air heater Ljungström. The emphasis is placed on the preservation of the exsiting steam parametrs and keeps emission limit of NOx.

This master’s thesis deals with utilization of biomass for micro cogeneration. The theoretical part of the master’s thesis defines main terms of the master’s thesis, which is biomass and cogeneration. The practical part of the master’s thesis is focused on the design and manufacturing of small micro cogeneration unit based on a small membrane steam engine. It means design of two steam generators to produce steam for the membrane steam engine. It will be also carried out design and production of membrane steam engine which is fitted with a small BLDC generator including electrical part for power output and measuring parameters. It will be made several measurements with the steam engine including measuring power output characteristic of the steam engine and measuring loading characteristics of the generator.

Object of this document is possibility of using piston steam engine (later only SE) in steam boiler plant, heating plant and steam reduction station. There is implemented a thermodynamic suggestion of SE for defined parameters of mechanical power 20 kW, frequency 1500 cpm, input steam pressure 1,5 MPa and warmth inside steam condenser 105 °C. There are implemented the main construction segments of SE with a view to steam distribution system. For determine a shape of work diagram SE (p-V diagram), there was created a supportive programme in Excel. The programme serves as the basis of determination of motor stroke volume and basis of determination of main dimensions.

This thesis deals with a technical economic analysis of the midrange biomass units use. The main output product of the thesis is the computational system based on balance models of cogeneration key nodes. The computational system is suited for cogeneration technologies based on the Rankin steam cycle. The computational system was used for a particular case study calculation focused on a 1 MW biomass boiler extension by an expansion engine (a steam turbine or steam engine).

The topic of this thesis is the thermal calculation of steam boiler with natural gas fuel. The first part is describing technical characteristic and parametres of the boiler. The main part of this thesis is the thermal calculation of the boiler. The following part deals with determination of steam amount and steam parametres for blowing through pipes of the boiler.

In this masters thesis are discusses the possibilities of increasing the electrical efficiency of cogeneration units with an internal combustion engine with the power output 800 kWe. Technical and economical aspect the connection with steam turbine, steam engine and ORC turbine is compared. It include the design of heat exchanger for ORC cycle.

The goal of this thesis was to create a mathematical model of a steam turbine based on the data acquired by measurement, and to verify its behaviour. The first part contains research, which is supposed to introduce basic principles of the steam turbine and description of important construction parts and the possibilities of control. The second part describes the experimental identification method of least squares, used for the calculation of an ARX model of the steam turbine. Finally, the last part focuses on the program environment used for creation of the mathematical model and explanation of measured data analysis process. Furthermore this segment describes the created simulation program as well as a visualisation of the dynamic processes in the steam turbine, including the design of control.

In some applications, the piston steam engine may be more suitable than the technology currently used. The thesis deals with the analysis of its advantages, weaknesses and possibilities of use, which are offered. Introduces the principles and functions of piston steam engines. It also contains a thermodynamic design based on a specific assignment and a feasibility assessment.

This diploma thesis performs a calculation of a steam turbine to drive a feed pump. The research part deals with the basic classification of steam turbines focusing on mechanical drive steam turbines. The second part of the thesis is a controlled extraction pressure optimization for achieving the maximum possible thermic efficiency of the cycle. The last part of the thesis shows a detailed thermodynamic calculation of the mechanical drive turbine along with the basic geometric parameters of the flow canal.

The aim of this master‘s thesis is retrofit of a 300 MW tandem compound steam turbinetype K300 - 170 with three casings and reheat of steam. In the first part a heat balance of the cycle is calculated for given nominal parameters. Further the thesis is focused only on the high pressure section of the turbine, for which the flow section is designed based on thermodynamic calculations and appropriate blade profiles are selected. Then the stress control of the blading is done. The thesis is concluded with estimation of power loss due to shaft seals and real power output of the turbine is calculated. This thesis also includes a drawing of axial section of the high pressure section of the turbine.
