Objective
Realization of a waste heat recovery system using gas turbine exhaust.
The main point of investigation was the decomposition of ammonia. Acceptable rates can be obtained if the ammonia temperature is kept below 300 deg. C. The waste heat recovery system as designed and performed is capable of operating under arctic conditions (ambient temperatures + 25 to - 40 deg. C.) close to predicted performance data.
The prototype plant, using conventional components (boiler, turbine pump, piping system), produces mechanical energy from the waste gas of a gas turbine via a closed process (rankine cycle), with ammonia as a working fluid under operating conditions above and below the critical point. The system extends and supplements an existing natural gas compressor station driving an additional gas compressor. The system was designed to be operated unattended in remote locations.
