A Combined System of Stirling Engine and Gas Turbine Based on LNG Cold Energy
Utilizing cold energy of LNG would bring good economic benefits. A combined system of Stirling engine and gas turbine for recovering LNG cold energy is put forward. Based on the first and second laws of thermodynamics
the combined system is analyzed in detail. The results show that in the 35℃ environment
the output power of combined system is 5715.48kW
the thermal efficiency is 31.62%
and the exergy efficiency is 43.65%. Compared with the gas turbine system and the direct cooling inlet air system
the output power of combined system will respectively increase 7.84% and 0.78%
the thermal efficiency will increase 3.16% and 1.63%
and the exergy efficiency will increase 4.23% and 1.63%. At different environment temperatures
the inlet air temperature will decrease about 10℃ in the combined system
and the output power and efficiencies will increase with the decreasing of inlet air temperature.
