    摘要: There is provided a method for generating power from a working fluid wherein the working fluid is a saturated vapor or is superheated to a vapor and then passed to a high pressure zone where the working fluid is used to impart work to a working shaft by means of directly linked high and low pressure cylinder piston assemblies located in the high pressure zone and a low pressure zone, respectively. Work is imparted to the working shaft rotatably coupled to the high pressure piston by constantly exposing the lower face of the high pressure piston to the vapor in the high pressure zone while selectively exposing the upper face of the high pressure piston to the vapor in the high pressure zone as the high pressure piston approaches upper dead center in relation to the working shaft, said upper face of the high pressure piston forming a first variable volume with the high pressure cylinder wall; and concurrently therewith intermittently discharging vapor from the first variable volume to a larger second variable volume formed of the lower face of a low pressure piston linked directly to the high pressure piston and a low pressure cylinder wall while constantly exposing the upper face of the low pressure piston to low pressure vapor in a low pressure zone and intermittently exposing the second variable volume to the low pressure zone, said second variable volume being allowed to increase more rapidly than the first variable volume decreases as the high and low pressure pistons move from bottom dead center to top dead center in relation to the working shaft.

    摘要: The modular closed cycle turbine system is advocated as a compact, unitized power system, in which the major components are connected in an optimum working relationship. The helical expansion condenser (HEC), is hollow so that the power fan, turbine expander, auxiliary cooling turbine, and gear reduction unit are nested within the cylindrical cavity. The flat vapor generator ring (VGR) is mounted directly below the HEC and completely insulated from it, so that a minimum of thermal losses are incurred. The VGR is also hollow so that the turbine expander and other components occupy the open cavity, for compactness and unification. All other components of the system are placed in normal operating relationship to each other within the two formed cavities.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention generally provide a heat engine system, a mass management system (MMS), and a method for regulating pressure in the heat engine system while generating electricity. In one embodiment, the MMS contains a tank fluidly coupled to a pump, a turbine, a heat exchanger, an offload terminal, and a working fluid contained in the tank at a storage pressure. The working fluid may be at a system pressure proximal an outlet of the heat exchanger, at a low-side pressure proximal a pump inlet, and at a high-side pressure proximal a pump outlet. The MMS contains a controller communicably coupled to a valve between the tank and the heat exchanger outlet, a valve between the tank and the pump inlet, a valve between the tank and the pump outlet, and a valve between the tank and the offload terminal.
