摘要：The possibility of increasing the efficiency of drying coal concentrate unit on the basis of pipe-dryers has been investigated by converting the heat of flue gases outlet into electrical energy and the heat potential of hot water supply system with a heat power generation unit operating on low-boiling working fluids. A method and an algorithm for calculating the thermal mode of the unit under the conditions of specified limitations on temperature pressures in heat exchangers have been developed. On the basis of mathematical modeling of thermal conditions, it has been found that under the conditions of PD-11 pipe-dryers, when the heat power generation unit operates with butane-pentane mixture, 204 kW of electricity can be generated with the condensation cycle, and 1780 kW of heat and 65 kW of electric energy can be generated with the heating cycle.
