摘要:
Heat engines suitable for large-scale or micro-scale fabrication supply power from a power turbine. The power turbine is driven in part by an ejector in which a working fluid is utilized as a motive flow. Fuel utilized for combustion may also be utilized as a phase-changing working fluid and as the motive flow driving the ejector. Heat exchangers particularly suitable for micro-scale implementation are also disclosed.

A hydrokinetic amplifier can pump and heat condensate returned to a boiler in a Rankine cycle system by receiving vapors at different pressures that are directed into merger with a condensate stream that is accelerated through merging regions. By properly selecting parameters for successive stages of a hydrokinetic amplifier and for the liquid and vapor inputs to a hydrokinetic amplifier, the condensate return can be pressurized to boiler pressure and heated close to the boiling point at boiler pressure.

A working fluid in the gaseous state at some initial temperature and pressure is expanded polytropically to a resulting exhaust fluid having some lower temperature and pressure in order to produce useful work. Large quantities of a motive liquid are then employed as the vehicle for approximating an isenthalpic compression of the working fluid. The preferred method for effecting this recompression is to reduce both fluids to a single liquid phase which is then energized. Thereafter the two fluids can be reconstituted to their initial states to complete the thermodynamic cycle which, depending upon the fluids selected, can be located in a broad range of the temperature spectrum.

This invention relates to the regenerative pre-heating of feed liquids by expanded heating vapor discharged from heat engines of vapor power plants within velocity-accelerated contact heat exchangers. The regenerative Rankine cycle invention may operate with any suitable working fluid such as steam or organic vapors, and has potential application to both stationary and vehicular power plant systems.

A rotary pump is provided with a pump housing, a rotor situated in the pump housing and rotatable by means of a drive shaft, and also blade elements which are accommodated so that they can slide in grooves on the periphery of the rotor, and which interact in a sealing manner with a fixed cam surface. The pump housing is composed of three pump housing parts tightly connected to each other, the central pump housing part containing the cam surface. In order to simplify the housing, a port plate is provided with supply ports and discharge ports and accommodated in the central pump housing part. Preferably, the blade elements rest with one of their sides faces against an end face which is formed by the inward-facing surface of an outer pump housing part.

In a method for the regulated transfer of heat from a primary steam network to a heat consumer, the supply flow of which is at a predetermined overpressure and the return flow of which is at a relatively lower pressure, the steam withdrawn from the steam network in accordance with the heat consumption on the part of the consumer is cooled down to the point of condensation by the withdrawal of heat by means of a secondary medium, while a predetermined overpressure relative to the supply pressure of the heat consumer is maintained. The overpressure in a jet pump is then reduced to the supply pressure of the heat consumer, generating a corresponding driving force for the supply flow, and secondary medium heated up in the course of the cooling down of the steam is mixed with the supply flow.In order both to save plumbing fixtures and to assure that a pressure-elevating pump behind the jet pump is not necessary, the condensate is accumulated in order to regulate the temperature at the heat consumer, and the condensate accumulation is regulated solely by adjusting the propulsion nozzle of the jet pump.
摘要:
A working fluid in the gaseous state at some initial temperature and pressure is expanded polytropically to a resulting exhaust fluid (vapor and liquid) having some lower pressure at some lower temperature in order to produce useful work. The exhaust fluid is then, in a manner approaching constant enthalpy, compressed to the working fluid's nominal original high pressure. Thereafter, the fluid undergoes constant pressure heating to restore its initial state. Of the several methods described for achieving isenthalpic compression, the preferred method uses an isenthalpic compression apparatus which educts the exhaust fluid vapors into a throat located between a motive fluid inlet nozzle and a wider recompression outlet. After eduction, and entrainment into the motive fluid, the exhaust vapors are recompressed by the deceleration produced at the recompression outlet. Thereafter the working fluid and motive fluid are separated. The motive fluid at elevated pressure consists of liquid in quantities sufficient to accomplish gas recompression with surplus quantities being returned to reservoir storage.
