Abstract

In keeping with a long-standing tradition of running Base utilities as a business, the U.S. Navy Submarine Base New London installed a dual-fuel combustion turbine with a heat recovery boiler. The 5-megawatt (MW) gas- and oil-fired combustion turbine sits within the Lower Base area, just off the shores of the Thames River. The U.S. Navy owns, operates, and maintains the combined heat and power (CHP) plant, which provides power to the Navy?s nuclear submarines when they are in port and to the Navy?s training facilities at the Submarine Base. Heat recovered from the turbine is used to produce steam for use in Base housing, medical facilities, and laundries. In FY00, the Navy estimates that it will save over $500,000 per year as a result of the combined heat and power unit.
双燃料燃烧涡轮机为位于康涅狄格州格罗顿的美国海军新伦敦潜艇基地提供可靠的动力
美国海军新伦敦潜艇基地按照长期以来将基地公用事业作为企业来经营的传统,安装了一台带有热回收锅炉的双燃料燃烧涡轮机。这台5兆瓦(MW)的燃气和燃油燃烧涡轮机位于泰晤士河沿岸的低基地地区。美国海军拥有、运营并维护为海军提供电力的热电联产(CHP)电厂。美国的核潜艇停泊在港口和海军?美国潜艇基地的训练设施。从涡轮机中回收的热量用于生产用于基地住房、医疗设施和洗衣店的蒸汽。在2008财年,海军估计由于热电联产装置,每年将节省超过50万美元。
