Abstract

This paper proposes the possibility of using a cryogenic power plant as part of a hybrid engine, which can be used in the system of urban transport infrastructure. The model of this cryogenic power plant consists of main contour and auxiliary contour of power plants. The parameters of a hybrid cryogenic power plant were evaluated and the characteristics of the main contour of a hybrid power plant driven by a piston expander and a turbo expander with heat input from both the ambient and the exhaust gases of a diesel engine were calculated. Liquid methane is used as the main fuel. The optimal operation cycle of the auxiliary contour of power plant itself has been determined. For this purpose the main parameters of Rankin and Brayton cycles have been analyzed - consumption, power, efficiency. Besides, the most suitable cryogenic fuels for efficient operation were determined and the schemes of the plants were proposed. The calculations were performed using calculation algorithms, examples of which are presented in this article.
