    摘要: A method and system using at least two different working fluids to be supplied to an expander to cause it to do mechanical work. The expander is started by providing a compressed gaseous working fluid at a sufficient pressure to the expander. At the same time the compressed gaseous working fluid is provided to the expander, a second working fluid that is liquid at ambient temperatures is provided to a heater to be heated. The second working fluid is heated to its boiling point and converted to pressurized gas Once the pressure is increased to a sufficient level, the second working fluid is injected into the expander to generate power, and the supply of the first working fluid may be stopped. After expansion in the expander, the working fluids are is exhausted from the expander, and the second working fluid may be condensed for separation from the first working fluid. Control circuitry controls the admission of the first and second working fluids responsive to monitoring the load on the expander.Waste heat in the exhaust from the expander can be used to heat or alternatively to dry an element in a device that can be operated as a desiccator to dry air when operated in a summer mode, or to heat air when operated in a winter mode. The air having been dried or alternatively heated is then ducted to an evaporative cooler which cools the dried air in summer mode and humidifies the heated air in winter mode.

    摘要: An engine (FIG. 1-1) comprising of multiple cylinders designated (2-5) combustion cylinders and (2-6) for heat recovery steam cylinders, each cylinder having a piston connected to a common crankshaft. The combustion cylinders operate on a four stroke cycle and the heat recovery steam cylinders operate on a two stroke cycle. The exhaust gas from the combustion cylinders is pressurized by a compressor, driven by a turbine, before entry into the heat recovery steam cylinders. This happens during the intake/power stroke of the heat recovery steam cylinders, as the intake valve closes, after top dead center, heated pressurized water is injected into the cylinder and spontaneously turns to steam driving the receding piston down. This heated exhaust gas and steam is expelled from the heat recovery steam cylinders to drive the turbine which in turn drives two compressors, one to compress the exhaust gas and one to compress the intake air.

    摘要: An engine is described that derives its propulsive energy from the flash expansion of liquid nitrogen from a liquid form to a gaseous form. The gaseous nitrogen is forced to escape from the rear of a casing of the engine, thereby providing a propulsive force to the casing. The escaping gaseous nitrogen, mixed with air, is harnessed to rotate a first fan that in turn rotates a second fan that draws air into the front of the engine. The warmer air flowing through the engine is utilized to regulate the temperature of the engine, and to facilitate the evaporation of the nitrogen propellant, thereby creating a steady state condition that may last as long as the supply of liquid nitrogen.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a turbine seal system. The turbine seal system captures working fluid which is escaping from a closed loop thermodynamic cycle system, condenses the captured working fluid, and returns the condensate back to the thermodynamic cycle system. The turbine seal system is configured to apply nitrogen, or other non-condensable, or other material, to capture or mix with the escaping working fluid. The combined mixture of working fluid which escapes the turbine and the nitrogen utilized to capture the working fluid is evacuated by an exhaust compressor which maintains a desired vacuum in a gland seal compartment of the turbine seal. The combined mixture can then be sent to a condenser to condense the working fluid vapor and evacuate the non-condensables, forming a working stream. Once the non-condensables have been evacuated, the working stream is pumped to a higher pressure, and prepared to be re-introduced into the thermodynamic cycle system.

    摘要: A rotary steam vapor and external combustion engine in which the rotor is driven on one side by steam and on the other side by hot products of combustion underpressure. Dual inlets and outlets are provided for opposite sides of the rotor. Dual rotors with any desired combination of steam power and products of combustion power may be used. Two principles involved in the invention are the use of steam and combustible fuel in the same engine and an external combustor which involves fuel charging at low pressure and firing at high pressure outside the engine.
