Abstract

A gas-turbine plant including a fuel system coupled to combustion chambers of a gas-turbine engine; the fuel system including fuel pipelines and a device for controlling fuel to the combustion chambers, a lubrication system for friction units of the gas-turbine engine and actuating units; the lubrication system including a lubrication loop for the friction units of the gas-turbine engine and a lubrication loop for the actuating units, each lubrication loop having a fuel-oil cooling heat-exchanger, a supply pump and an oil tank; wherein a first fuel pipeline of the fuel pipelines connects the device to the fuel-oil cooling heat-exchanger of the lubrication loop of the actuating units and the fuel heater, and a second fuel pipeline of the pipelines connects the device to the fuel-oil cooling heat-exchanger of the lubrication loop of the gas-turbine engine and the fuel heater.

Claims (8)

1. A gas-turbine plant comprising:

a gas-turbine engine having an air-processing device, a compressor, and combustion chambers operating on a cryogenic gas fuel to supply combustion gases to an exhaust tube, the gas-turbine engine driving actuating units;

a fuel system coupled to the combustion chambers;

a fuel heater mounted in the exhaust tube of the gas-turbine engine;

wherein the fuel system having fuel pipelines and a device for supplying and controlling fuel to the combustion chambers, the device is connected to a fuel pipeline from a reservoir for storing the cryogenic gas fuel and which is connected to the combustion chambers by fuel pipelines via the fuel heater;

a lubricating system for friction units of the gas-turbine engine and actuating units, wherein the lubrication system includes a lubrication loop for the friction units of the gas-turbine engine having a fuel-oil cooling heat-exchanger, a supply pump and an oil tank and a lubrication loop for the friction units of the actuating units having a fuel-oil cooling heat-exchanger, a supply pump and an oil tank;

wherein a first fuel pipeline of the fuel pipelines connects the device to the fuel-oil cooling heat-exchanger of the lubrication loop of the actuating units and the fuel heater, and a second fuel pipeline of the pipelines connects the device to the fuel-oil cooling heat-exchanger of the lubrication loop of the gas-turbine engine and the fuel heater.

2. A gas-turbine plant according to claim 1 , characterized in that the device for supplying and controlling fuel is connected to oil temperature sensors for the friction units of the gas-turbine engine and the actuating units.
