Abstract

The invention describes a hybrid steam generation system comprising a fire tube boiler (2), a condensate tank (1) responsible for supplying water to the fire tube boiler (2), a solar installation (4) comprising at least one solar collector, a distribution manifold (3) through which the steam generated from the system is extracted, an inlet duct (11) hydraulically connecting the fire tube boiler (2) to the condensate tank (1), an outlet duct (13) hydraulically connecting the fire tube boiler (2) to the distribution manifold (3), where the fire tube boiler (2) comprises a circulation duct (12) hydraulically connecting an inlet and outlet of the fire tube boiler (2) to the solar collectors of the solar installation (4), and a heat diffuser (14), housed in the fire tube boiler (2) and hydraulically connected to the circulation duct (12).

IPC Classes  ?

• F22B 1/00 - Methods of steam generation characterised by form of heating method
• F22B 7/02 - Steam boilers of furnace-tube type, i.e. the combustion of fuel being performed inside one or more furnace tubes built-in in the boiler body without auxiliary water tubes
• F22B 7/16 - Component parts thereofAccessories therefor, e.g. stay-bolt connections
• F22B 9/12 - Steam boilers of fire-tube type, i.e. the flue gas from a combustion chamber outside the boiler body flowing through tubes built-in in the boiler body the boiler body being disposed substantially horizontally, e.g. at the side of the combustion chamber the fire tubes being in substantially-horizontal arrangement
