    摘要: A power conversion system including a first working fluid circuit and a second working fluid circuit. Heat, e.g. waste heat from a top, high-temperature thermodynamic cycle, is transferred to working fluid circulating in the first working fluid circuit and expanded in a first expander to generate useful mechanical power. A heat transfer arrangement is provided, between the first working fluid circuit and second working fluid circuit, configured for transferring low-temperature heat from the first working fluid circuit to the second working fluid circuit. In the second working fluid circuit working fluid is processed, which is expanded in at least one expander to generate useful mechanical power which is used to power a pump or compressor of the first working fluid circuit. The heat of the expanded gas is further used in a second recuperator to pre-heat the first working fluid.

    摘要: A variable geometry assembly for modulating a fluid flow in a turbomachine is disclosed. The assembly comprises a first ring having a plurality of first wedge-shaped elements and having an axis, and a second ring having a plurality of second wedge-shaped elements and having an axis. The second ring is substantially coaxial to the first ring. The second wedge-shaped elements co-act with the first wedge-shaped elements. Flow passages are defined between pairs of sequentially arranged first wedge-shaped elements and second wedge-shaped elements. The first ring and the second ring are angularly displaceable one with respect to the other. Moreover, the first ring and the second ring are configured to move axially with respect to one another when the first ring and the second ring are angularly displaced one with respect to the other.

    摘要: The gas turbine engine comprises a gas generator (66), comprised of a compressor section (11), and a power turbine section (65). The power turbine section (65) comprises a power turbine rotor (81) supported by a power turbine shaft (93), which is mechanically uncoupled from the gas generator (66). The power turbine shaft (93) has an axial cavity (511) therein, fluidly coupled to a bearing sump (521) fluidly coupled to the compressor section (11) and housing at least one bearing (106) supporting a shaft of the gas generator (66). An air venting path (527) extends from said axial cavity (511) and leads in a combustion gas flow path (515) downstream of the power turbine rotor (81).
