Schmid - Model HLT-100 - Hot Air Turbine
From Cogeneration Systems
With the “HLT-100 compact” hot air turbine, electricity can be generated with a wood firing system from a thermal offtake of 300 kW. Due to their complexity and maintenance requirements, other systems – such as ORC systems or steam turbines – only become worthwhile as large-scale systems with a thermal capacity above 2 MW. In many cases, heat offtake all year round cannot be ensured for such high capacities. The hot air turbine therefore fills the gap in the smaller operating range.
Product Details
The hot air turbine is an automated heating station with an electrical capacity of 80 to 100 kW. The waste heat generated during electricity production is used in this combined heat and power system to offer a thermal capacity of 350 kW in the form of hot water.
Electricity is generated through an externally fired Brayton process, whereby air from the atmosphere is compressed, heated to750 °Cin the hot gas heat exchanger by the hot flue gases from combustion and expanded in the turbine, which drives a generator. Some of the turbine exhaust air, which is still hot, is used as combustion air in the furnace and some is used to generate hot water.
The hot flue gases from the combustion process are partly recirculated after the hot gas heat exchanger. The remaining flue gases are cooled down in the economiser and cleaned via multi-cyclones and electrostatic precipitators before being discharged via the flue. The further utilisation of turbine exhaust air and flue gases ensures high overall efficiency of the facility.
