Steam power plant

Abstract

An inventive steam power plant comprises at least one steam turbine and a steam generator, whereby a combustion chamber, in the direction of the flow of steam, is mounted after a first turbine stage and before a second turbine stage of the steam turbine, and the flow of steam inside a combustion chamber can be heated by mixing it with a hot gas that can be produced inside said combustion chamber.

1 - 4 . (canceled)  
   
   
       5 . A steam power plant comprising; 
 at least one steam turbine;    a fired steam generator; and    a combustion chamber that is disposed after a first turbine stage and before a second turbine stage of the steam turbine in the direction of the flow of steam and the flow of steam in the combustion chamber is heated by mixing it with a hot gas that is produced in the combustion chamber.    
   
   
       6 . The steam power plant according to  claim 5 , wherein hydrogen or a hydrocarbon is supplied as fuel to the firing facility.  
   
   
       7 . The steam power plant according to  claim 5 , wherein hydrogen and a hydrocarbon is supplied as fuel to the firing facility.  
   
   
       8 . The steam power plant according to  claim 7 , wherein the hydrocarbon is methane.  
   
   
       9 . The steam power plant according to  claim 5 , wherein a gas containing oxygen and/or air is supplied to the firing facility to produce a combustion atmosphere in the combustion chamber.  
   
   
       10 . The steam power plant according to  claim 5 , wherein the gas contains pure oxygen.  
   
   
       11 . The steam power plant according to  claim 5 , wherein combustion products occurring are removed from the flow of steam by a condenser connected downstream from the steam turbine.
