The device is designed to convert the energy of air flow through underground workings and ground pipelines into electrical energy. The device for generating electricity comprises an underground mine with a calorifer located in it and a first stage turbo generator located in the path of the air flow. The device has four first stage turbogenerators, the air flows after their passage combined into a common stream connected to the input of the second stage turbogenerator. In this case, diaphragms are installed to regulate the air flow at the inlet to the turbogenerators. The design of the device allows, with the help of the declared two-stage system, to achieve electricity generation without consumption of raw materials and environmentally safe.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The device belongs to the field of power engineering and is designed to convert the energy of the air flow through underground workings and ground pipelines into electrical energy.

An apparatus for producing electric power through the use of an air flow is described in US Pat. No. 3,936,652, Cl. F 03 D 9/00, publ. 03/02/1976. Generating electric energy the power installation is mounted in a horizontal section on one level with the "sole" of the vertical trunk and is made single-stage, which leads to incomplete use of energy of the air flow.

The aim of the invention is to increase the efficiency of using the energy of the air flow and reliability of operation. Said technical result is achieved due to the fact that the device for generating electric power comprises an underground generation with a calorifer located in it and a first stage turbo generator located along the path of the air flow. The device has four first stage turbogenerators, the air flows after their passage combined into a common stream connected to the input of the second stage turbogenerator. In this case, diaphragms are installed to regulate the air flow at the inlet to the turbogenerators.

The invention is illustrated by a graphical material, where FIG. 1 schematically represents a general view of the device, FIG. 2 shows a view A of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 shows an element I of FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 shows a general view of the device with a receiver and Diaphragms.

The device comprises four turbogenerators 1 of the first stage and one turbogenerator 2 of the second stage, an above-ground production with a calorifer 3 located therein, the output being made of concrete 5 and provided with thermal insulation 4 and lining 6. At the inlet to the turbogenerators 1 and 2, diaphragms 7 are installed, and In front of the turbogenerator 2 there is installed a receiver 8, communicated with the outputs of the turbogenerators 1.

DEVICE FOR RECEIVING ELECTRICITY WORKS AS FOLLOWS:

Air flows in the underground mining are heated by the air heater 3 and, rising upwards, they enter the four turbogenerators 1 of the first stage, after which they are fed to the receiver 8 through the ground pipelines, connected to the second stage turbogenerator. The speed of the air flow in each channel is changed by the air heater 3 and is controlled by diaphragms 7 making strictly vertical movements by screw mechanisms (not shown in the figure). The presence of thermal insulation 4 and lining 6 on concrete 5, providing waterproofing, provides airflow without moisture, heat losses and laminarity.

Diaphragms 7, if necessary, can block the air flow. The energy potential of the air flow by combining the flows that passed through the first stage turbogenerators 1 to the total flow of the second stage turbogenerator 2 acquires the energy intensity parameters similar to the flow entering the first stage turbogenerator 1.

Two-stage electricity generation allows to ensure the continuity of the process in time with increased efficiency and environmental safety.

CLAIM

An apparatus for generating electric power, comprising an underground production with a calorifer and a first stage turbo generator located in the path of the air flow, characterized in that the device has three additional turbo-generators, after which the airflows are combined into a common stream connected to the input of the turbogenerator Second stage, with diaphragms installed to regulate the air flow at the inlet to the turbogenerators.
