Contributes innovation in thermoelectric of Camagüey considerable energy saving

The thermoelectric 10 October of this city of the north , applies an innovation that favors the saving so far of more than four thousand 600 megawatts-hour (mw-h), equivalent to the consumption of two months of the whole county.

A variation in the form of the maintenance and setting in operation of the burners of the ovens of the generating units five six of that power station, was projected and executed with success by a team of technicians of that power station, also favoring a saving of seven thousand 311 tons of fuel.

Such results are equal to more than a million pesos in freely convertible currency, but as said Nelson García Alberro, main author of the initiative, this result also rebounds in the environment when propitiating a smaller emission of gases to the atmosphere, taken place during the combustion, because diminishes the free oxygen in the process.

The work undertaken by the group that integrate also, Fernando Prieto, Alain de León and Eddy Pérez Castro, contributes to the decrease of the overpressure of the oven, of the electric input - that is the electricity required to pull up the machines -, and favors the increase of the efficiency in the generator of vapor.

This work is proposed by the National Association of Innovative and makers (ANIR) for the Prize to the Innovation of better Economic and Social Impact. (Jorge Luis Moreira)
