A method of utilizing waste heat to create a pressurized working fluid is disclosed. The method includes providing a vessel containing a sorbent system, introducing a feed of waste heat to a heat exchanger external to the vessel to heat a feed of working fluid, introducing the heated working fluid from the heat exchanger to the vessel to obtain pressurized working fluid, and directing the pressurized working fluid from the vessel to a work component. The method is particularly suited to make use of waste heat an industrial process, (e.g., a chemical processing or petrochemical refining operation) in which low grade heat source(s) are used to drive the sorption system.
摘要:
The present invention relates to process modifications and apparatus designs that are conducive towards minimizing temperature swings (ΔT) useful to yield operating pressures that provide work and/or refrigeration (e.g., electricity and/or refrigeration) in sorption systems. Such process modifications and designs are particularly suited to make use of waste heat an industrial process, (e.g., a chemical processing or petrochemical refining operation) in which low grade heat source(s) are used to drive the sorption system.

The present application provides a sorption system for generating power and chilling that includes at least one absorber to absorb a working fluid in a liquid sorbent, a pump in fluid communication with the absorber to yield a feed of pressurized liquid sorbent and absorbed working fluid, a heat source to heat the feed of pressurized liquid sorbent and absorbed working fluid to yield a feed of working fluid at a supercritical state, a generator in fluid communication with the feed of working fluid at a supercritical state to yield power and a feed of working fluid in an at least partially condensed state, and an evaporator in fluid communication with the feed of working fluid in the at least partially condensed state to yield chilling and uncondensed working fluid. Additional systems and method for the generating power and chilling are provided.
摘要:
Methods, apparatus, and systems for removing contaminant in a fluid (e.g., chemical and petrochemical gas streams) using nanostructures of a sorbent material coated on plates such as a silicon wafer. A plurality of such coated plates can be assembled to form a sorption structure having channels between the plates. When a fluid containing the contaminant is directed through the channels, the contaminant is adsorbed by the nanostructures of the sorbent material.

摘要:
A system for isolating a greenhouse gas from an exhaust gas includes a vessel having an inlet to receive an exhaust gas, and an outlet to discharge a process stream, an adsorbent contained in the vessel to selectively adsorb the greenhouse gas from the exhaust gas under suitable conditions, and a heat source to heat the adsorbent and desorb the adsorbed greenhouse gas therefrom to produce a process stream of greenhouse gas for release through the outlet.
