A method of and a power plant for generating power by combusting carbonaceous fuel with substantially pure oxygen, and a method of modifying a process of generating power by combusting carbonaceous fuel from combusting the fuel with air to combusting the fuel with substantially pure oxygen. The methods include feeding substantially pure oxygen into a furnace for combusting fuel with the oxygen to produce exhaust gas including mainly carbon dioxide and water, recovering low-grade heat from the exhaust gas by using multiple exhaust gas coolers arranged in a downstream portion of the exhaust gas channel, wherein a first portion of the recovered low-grade heat is used for preheating feedwater; pressurizing a first portion of the exhaust gas in multiple exhaust gas compressors so as to produce liquid carbon dioxide, recycling a second portion of the exhaust gas to the furnace via an exhaust gas recycling channel, using a first portion of steam extracted from a steam turbine system to preheat feedwater, wherein the first portion of the recovered low-grade heat is more than 50% of the total amount of recovered low-grade heat, or larger than the first portion of the recovered low-grade heat in the air-fired process, allowing minimizing of the first portion of the extracted steam, and the expanding of a second portion of the extracted steam in at least one auxiliary steam turbine for driving at least one compressor or at least one pump of the power plant.

A combined cycle power plant (10) has a gas turbine (11), a heat recovery steam generator (16) which is connected downstream to the gas turbine (11) and delivers steam to a steam turbine (19), an exhaust gas recycling line (28) which returns some of the exhaust gases, which flow from the exhaust of the gas turbine (11) through the heat recovery steam generator (16), to the inlet of the gas turbine (11), and also a CO2 separating plant (25) which separates from the non-returned part of the exhaust gases the CO2 which is contained therein and delivers it to a CO2 outlet. A reduction of the equipment cost or a flexible adaptation of the operation can be achieved by a supplementary firing (17) being associated with the heat recovery steam generator (16), which by combusting a carbonaceous fuel produces additional exhaust gases with CO2 content and transmits them through the heat recovery steam generator (16).

The present invention is based on the realization that the carbon dioxide component of industrial gas streams also containing steam can be processed so to utilize either as latent and / or sensible heat the heat available from the steam component to assist in separating carbon dioxide from the remainder of the gas stream. For example, flue gases produced by power stations burning brown coal, black coal or natural gas inherently contain a useful amount of energy that can be harnessed according to the present invention. According to particular preferred forms of the invention, nitrogen and sulphur constituent such as SOx and NOx, H2S and other nitrogen containing compounds may also be removed from the gas stream through direct contact with the absorbing medium and used to produce by-products such as fertilizer material.

A waterproof thermal management module for a portable electronic device that including a housing and a heat source is disclosed. The waterproof thermal management module includes a separated chamber, a heat absorber, a radiator, a heat pipe and a fan. The separated chamber is set inside the housing and has a first air channel and a second air channel, wherein the first and second air channels communicate with the outside of the housing. The heat absorber is set inside the housing for contacting the heat source. The radiator is set inside the separated chamber. The heat pipe extends from inside the housing through the wall of the separated chamber into the separated chamber and connects the heat absorber and the radiator. The cooling fan is set in the separated chamber.

The device and the method for forming steam are used for household appliance. Principle: water enters into the heated spiral tube chamber through the inner end of the spiral tube chamber; water contacts the side wall of the spiral tube chamber, and is vaporized, then diffused along the spiral tube chamber; part of the water droplets diffuses with vapor, and contacts the side wall of the spiral tube chamber gradually, then is vaporized; vapor is obtained from the outer end of the spiral tube chamber. In one word, the invention provides a method to obtain “dry” steam which doesn't contain water. It is more efficient than other facilities.
