Abstract:
A system includes a first working fluid compressor configured to pressurize a working fluid, and a prime mover coupled to the first working fluid compressor and configured to provide a mechanical input into the first working fluid compressor. An exhaust assembly is coupled to the prime mover and is configured to receive exhaust heat from the prime mover, the exhaust assembly including a generator configured to generate electric current based on the exhaust heat received by the exhaust assembly. A second working fluid compressor includes an electric motor electrically and synchronously coupled to the generator and configured to pressurize the working fluid.
