Analysis of the joint operation of the expander-generator unit and air heat pump

Abstract

Calculations of the energy efficiency of the expander-generator unit under various operating conditions during heating of natural gas in front of the expander using a heat pump unit were carried out. It is shown that the introduction of expander-generator units in the gas supply system of the Republic of Uzekistan, with a properly selected gas heating system, can be thermodynamically and technically and economically advantageous. The results of the thermodynamic analysis of the developed energy-technological complex in the production of electricity are presented.
