Hydrogen-oxygen installations for the energy industry

The review analyzes the main types and designs of hydrogen-oxygen facilities: steam generators, superheaters, and various power air heaters. The main problems arising in the development, creation, and testing of such installations are identified. They include the cooling of the most heat-stressed units, the mixing and carburetion of the main fuel and oxidizer components, the mixing of high-temperature combustion products and ballasting components, and problems associated with the completeness of hydrogen combustion and operational safety. The main areas of these facilities application in the stationary and the energy industry are considered: maneuverability and increased efficiency in power facilities with the steam turbines, energy-storage systems with the renewable energy sources for autonomous power supply, etc.
