The system has two inputs: intake air and diesel fuel. Its outputs are some exhaust gas (carbon dioxide and nitrogen compounds), electricity, and extracted sulfur compounds. There are four interconnected systems: the turbine-diesel-generator system, the refrigerant gas system, the ammonia system and the water handling system. The refrigerant system uses R 22 (Freon) gas. Using heat extracted from the diesel engine and other components of the system, this gas is heated and is used to drive a turbine. The ammonia system is primarily used to condense the R 22. The water system is primarily used to cool the exhaust gasses from the diesel engine. As discussed below, the systems overlap so that, for example, one system is cooled while pre-heating another.Field of SearchFLUID MOTOR MEANS DRIVEN BY WASTE HEAT OR BY EXHAUST ENERGY FROM INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINEWith supercharging means for engine With means to change temperature of supercharged flow Supercharging means driven by engine exhaust actuated motor Power system involving change of state Having fluid motor motive fluid treating, controlling or conditioning means Having means to transfer heat energy between engine exhaust and motive fluid for fluid motor Motive fluid is vaporized liquid SYSTEM HAVING PLURAL MOTORS OR HAVING DIVERSE TYPES OF ENERGY INPUT | |
