Summary
The course is focused on the basic characteristic and allocation the secondary energy sources. Describing the energy loses, energy potentials and also the fuel saving. The secondary energy source is defined through the secondary
fuel, secondary enthalpy/heat/chill and secondary pressure. Exhaust-heat boilers, turbine, microturbine and heat pumps are described. The low-potential heat and utilization of energy from metals, coke and slags are described too.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Student will be able:
• to identify the secondary energy sources.
• to compare the sources in between – fuels, energy(enthalpy)/chill/heat, pressure.
• to describe the type of secondary energy sources in dependency with their occurrence in technology.
• to apply the knowledge of secondary energy sources in student profession.
Course Contents
• Table of energetic sources. Basic characteristic and classification of secondary energetic sources.
• Definition and meaning of secondary energetic sources in relationship with the energy policy of CZ and EU.
• Technical – economical parameters of utilization this sources in industrial area. Division the secondary energy sources.
• Secondary fuels – occurrence, technical parameters and utilization in plant energy system.
• Fuels storage – according to fuel type. Design of reservoirs.
• Secondary heat - utilization the enthalpy of exhaust/fuel gases using the exhaust-heat boilers and gas turbines. Design and thermal characteristics of these units, unit types and unit recovery.
• Low-potentials heat – utilization of heat pumps. Thermodynamics, designs, types, utilization.
• Secondary chill - cooling water and its utilization. Cooling elements. T echniques of cooling – by water, by expansion, through the evaporation, through the matters with higher boiling point. Comparison the techniques.
• Utilization the enthalpy of metal – in blast-furnaces and metallurgical plants.
• Utilization the coke – methods, advantages and disadvantages.
• Utilization the slag – methods, advantages and disadvantages.
• Secondary pressure. Utilization the overpressure. Expansion turbines.
• Now-a-days technology uses secondary sources.
