Embodiment Construction

[0035] The following description describes the present invention in detail through examples, but does not limit the present invention. This specification will ensure that those of ordinary skill in the art make and use the invention, and describe several embodiments, uses, modifications, improvements, and use of the invention, including the best mode for carrying out the invention.

[0036] The present invention is shown in detail in several drawings. It is very complex, with many elements, interrelationships and combinations, and cannot be simply represented by a patent-type view. For clarity and conciseness, several drawings schematically show, or omit elements that are not essential in the figures, and only show elements that describe specific features, aspects, and principles of the present invention. Thus, a preferred embodiment of a certain feature can be displayed in one embodiment, and another feature can be displayed in another view. In terms of materials and test data, t...

Abstract

Recovery of electric power from low-grade waste heat / solar energy, comprising a closed-cycle charged refrigerant loop. Pressurized refrigerant fluid is pumped at ambient temperature through a heat exchanger (14) connected to a waste heat / solar source to extract heat energy during conversion to a high pressure gas. Heated / pressurized refrigerant gas is inlet into an expander (20) to power an output shaft (26) during the expansion of the fluid to a cooled gas at approximately 0 psig. Cooled gaseous refrigerant is condensed to a liquid at low pressure and ambient temperature, and recycled under pressure to the heat exchanger. The expander is a reverse-plumbed gas compressor; the pressurized, hot refrigerant gas is inlet at what is ordinarily its outlet, and the normal inlet becomes the expander end. The refrigerant gas mass flow pressure / temperature drop spins the expander shaft for direct mechanical power take-off, or coupling to a synchronous or inductive generator to produce electricity.

Description

[0001] Cross-references to related applications [0002] This application is an ordinary U.S. application and a PCT application with a U.S. provisional application USSN sequence of 60 / 360,072 with the filing date of February 25, 2002, and it claims priority in accordance with Article 35 of Article 119 of the U.S. Law. Technical field [0003] The invention relates to the field of energy generation, and relates to the direct generation of mechanical energy and power generation from waste heat, and more specifically to a method and system for generating energy from low-grade waste combustion heat or process heat and solar energy. The energy generation system and method of the present invention are implemented as a modular, carriage mounting system in the preferred embodiment, but are also suitable for permanent equipment for stationary power generation related to industrial equipment or commercial equipment. As a non-limiting example, the inventive system recovers energy from waste h...
