Parallel heat recovery in gas power generation
12546236 · 2026-02-10 · ·

A modified combined-cycle gas power system includes a mixed fuel preheat coil, a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), and a parallel connection coupling a gas turbine to the mixed fuel preheat coil and the HRSG for receiving gas turbine exhaust (GTE). In some cases, the system further includes a GTE flow controller coupled to the parallel connection to control a ratio of the GTE received by the mixed fuel preheat coil and the HRSG. In some cases, the parallel connection from the gas turbine to the mixed fuel preheat coil and the HRSG is a single exhaust duct having an internal separator baffle. In some cases, the parallel connection from the gas turbine to the mixed fuel preheat coil and the HRSG is dual exhaust ducts. In some cases, the mixed fuel preheat coil does not include a burner or catalyst for generating reformed fuel.
