    摘要: Backup energy systems utilizing compressed air storage (CAS) systems and bridging energy systems to supply backup power to a load are provided. During a power failure, the bridging energy system provides backup power to the load at least until the CAS system begins supplying adequate power. In various embodiments, backup power capability is enhanced through the use of one or more exhaustless heaters, which are used to heat compressed air. The compressed air, in turn, drives a turbine which is used to power an electrical generator. In various embodiments, ambient air heat exchangers or other types of heat exchangers are used to heat compressed air prior to the compressed air being routed to the turbine, thereby increasing system efficiency. Backup power and backup HVAC are also provided by utilizing turbine exhaust, heat exchangers and various resistive heating elements.

    摘要: The free piston vacuum producing apparatus is an internal combustion device with no piston rod or constraining mechanism attached to the free piston. After fuel ignition the piston is rapidly propelled toward the open end of a cylinder. As the combustion gases expand, the piston's momentum propels it past the point where the pressure is equal on both sides of the piston. A vacuum is created in the cylinder behind the piston. When the piston comes to a stop, the vacuum in the cylinder is secured. An air/gas/vapor entry port into the cylinder is then opened to allow outside air, gas, or vapors to enter the cylinder. The gases drawn into the cylinder's vacuum pass through a device, such as a turbine, in order to produce work or energy from the flowing gases. The cylinder's vacuum can thus be used as the basis for vacuum pumps, evaporators, or gas evacuation device.

    摘要: A turbocharger with variable geometry turbine inlet nozzle employs a rotating unison ring for actuation of multiple vanes. A crank arm engages a slot in the unison ring to convert linear actuator motion into rotation of the unison ring. A crank pin having a rectangular tongue adapted to be received in the slot and a circular body received in an aperture in the crank arm reduces contact stresses between the crank tongue and unison ring slot. The crank pin is retained in the crank arm by the unison ring and center housing flange of the turbocharger.

    摘要: A thermal storage unit having at least one annular flow channel formed between an inner and outer member is provided. The thermal storage unit uses conventional mill products to create annular flow channels that are coupled to each other via transverse channels for allowing various fluid routing arrangements and piping connections, and that economically maximize the surface area of flow in contact with the thermal mass included in the inner and outer members. This enables the thermal storage unit to economically provide heat storage as well as effective heat delivery and pressure containment for a fluid flowing through the annular channel. The thermal storage unit's size and shape are optimized and its performance enhanced by providing features for maintaining the position of the inner member within the outer member, features for providing support for the unit, and insulation.
