摘要:
A cryogenic rectification system wherein some or all of the refrigeration necessary to drive the rectification is generated by providing a pulse to a gas and then passing the compressed gas to a pulse tube wherein the gas expands in a wave generating refrigeration at one end of the pulse tube for transfer into the rectification system.
摘要:
A method of conducting a process involving the generation of steam in which a hot process stream is generated. The hot process stream can be generated in any manner and can include a burner section of a steam methane reformer, a gas turbine of an integrated combined cycle, a combustion chamber used to pre-heat incoming air and oxygen for a blast furnace, an oxygen transport membrane system, and a gas turbine or natural gas engine that provided to compress air in a cryogenic air separation unit. Heat from the hot process stream is transferred to a thermoacoustic engine to recover work at high temperatures and to generate an intermediate temperature process stream therefrom. The intermediate temperature process stream is introduced to a steam generator to generate the steam.

A pulse tube refrigeration system wherein the pulse tube working gas is cooled to a defined first stage temperature and is brought to a defined second stage temperature by operation of a regenerator and pulse tube, which are in flow communication through a cold heat exchanger, prior to providing refrigeration to a high temperature superconductor.
摘要:
A method for refrigerating a high temperature superconducting device to maintain superconducting operating conditions wherein a first heat transfer means such as a first heat transfer fluid is cooled to a temperature greater than the temperature of saturated liquid nitrogen and is used for ambient heat intercept while a second heat transfer means such as a second heat transfer fluid is cooled to a temperature within the high temperature superconductivity temperature operating range to maintain superconducting operating conditions.
摘要:
A system for generating refrigeration wherein a hot process fluid is used to drive a thermoacoustic engine and residual heat from the process fluid is used to desorb refrigerant from a high pressure absorbent heat pump solution with the resulting refrigerant expanded to generate refrigeration prior to being reabsorbed by the absorbent.
摘要:
A system for cooling a fluid particularly to a cryogenic temperature wherein a multicomponent refrigerant fluid is partially condensed, the liquid used to generate refrigeration to cool the product by recycle into an upstream portion of the warming leg of the refrigeration circuit, and the vapor, having a different composition than the liquid, is used to generate refrigeration at a colder temperature for further cooling of the product.

A system for effectively generating refrigeration for use in putting a product fluid into an ultra cold condition wherein an active magnetic regenerator or a multicomponent refrigerant fluid cycle is integrated with a pulse tube system for receiving heat generated by the pulse tube system.
摘要:
A cryogenic rectification system wherein some or all of the refrigeration necessary to drive the rectification is generated by periodically magnetizing and demagnetizing a bed of magnetizable material, passing refrigerator gas through the bed to produce cold refrigerator gas, and passing refrigeration from the cold refrigerator gas into the rectification system.
摘要:
A pulse tube system especially useful for producing and delivering refrigeration at very cold temperatures wherein a product fluid such as hydrogen is preferably precooled and then liquefied, subcooled and/or densified by heat exchange with ultra cold gas generated by a pulsing compression wave which rejects heat into a cryogen fluid heat sink.
摘要:
A method for operating a thermoacoustic engine which produces acoustic energy which may be used to generate refrigeration wherein energy delivery fluid from a hot energy source, which provides heat to the thermoacoustic engine, is used to provide heat to a first heat sink such as a Kalina cycle and then at a lower temperature to a second heat sink.
