What is the working principle of thermal generator?

The working principle of thermal power generator is to generate electricity by energy conversion in factories using coal, oil and natural gas as fuels.

In the generator, clean air is produced after being filtered by the air filter, and high-pressure atomized diesel oil is sprayed out through the nozzle. The two gases are fully mixed in the cylinder, and the piston moves upward to squeeze the mixed gas, which reduces the volume and increases the temperature.

When the temperature rises to a certain temperature, the diesel oil is ignited, and the mixture burns violently to expand the volume, thus pushing the piston downward. Diesel engine uses this principle to drive the generator to run and convert the energy of diesel into electric energy.

Brief introduction of thermal power plant:

Thermal power plant, referred to as thermal power plant, is a factory that uses combustible substances (such as coal) as fuel to produce electric energy. Its basic production process is: when fuel is burned, water is heated to produce steam, and the chemical energy of fuel is converted into heat energy. Steam pressure drives the turbine to rotate, and heat energy is converted into mechanical energy. Then the turbine drives the generator to rotate, and the mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy.

The prime mover is usually a steam engine or a gas turbine. In some smaller power stations, internal combustion engines can also be used. They all use the pressure drop in the process of high temperature and high pressure steam or gas passing through the turbine to become low pressure air or condensed water to generate electricity.
