Abstract

The purpose of the tests is smart growth of a micro combined heat and power plant, intended to be fed with biogas, biomass or any other type of fuel (an aspect to be taken into account in the developmental stage of a prototype) with an impulse piston steam engine, power generator or a water brake (modelling, simulating, substituting workloads). The research system included the following units: an inductive supercritical steam generator (eventually replaced with a steam boiler fed with biogas, biomass or any other solid or liquid fuel), a piston steam engine fed with steam of supercritical parameters with a patented steam-supply system including an impulse injection valve, a power generator (interchangeably with water brake), a steam generation system.
