摘要： LNG is pumped to high pressure, vaporized, further heated and then expanded to create rotary power that is used to generate electrical power. A reservoir of carbon dioxide at about its triple point is created in an insulated vessel to store energy in the form of refrigeration recovered from the evaporated LNG. During peak electrical power periods, liquid carbon dioxide is withdrawn therefrom, pumped to a high pressure, vaporized, further heated, and expanded to create rotary power which generates additional electrical power. The exhaust from a fuel-fired combustion turbine, connected to an electrical power generator, heats the high pressure carbon dioxide vapor. The discharge stream from the CO.sub.2 expander is cooled and at least partially returned to the vessel where vapor condenses by melting stored solid carbon dioxide. During off-peak periods, CO.sub.2 vapor is withdrawn from the reservoir and condensed to liquid by vaporizing LNG, so that use is always efficiently made of the available refrigeration from the vaporizing LNG, and valuable peak electrical power is available when needed by using the stored energy in the CO.sub.2 reservoir.

摘要： An aqueous ice slurry is fed by a conduit from a freeze exchanger directly to one or more heat exchangers for cooling or air conditioning one of more enclosed or defined spaces. Warm water withdrawn from the heat exchangers is returned, with or without prior cooling, to the freeze exchanger to be converted into aqueous ice slurry. Warm water from the heat exchangers may be fed to a central thermal energy storage tank containing a bed of ice to cool the water and the cold water is fed to the freeze exchanger to form aqueous ice slurry. When heat exchangers have coils too small for an aqueous ice slurry to flow through the slurry is mixed with warm water from the heat exchangers to melt the ice and produce cold water which can be passed through the heat exchangers.

摘要： A method of separating solid particles present in a liquid in which the solid particles float by subjecting the liquid to centrifugal force in a chamber thereby causing the solid particles to move radially inwardly and produce a pack of solid particles while the liquid freed of solid particles flows radially outwardly; continuously withdrawing liquid freed of solid particles from the chamber; and continuously removing solid particles from the pack.Apparatus for centrifugal separation of solid particles from a liquid in which they are buoyant, comprising a chamber adapted to be rotated about an axis; a conduit to continuously feed liquid containing the solid particles to the chamber; a conduit to continuously withdraw liquid substantially free of solid particles from the chamber; and a scraper to continuously remove solid particles from a pack of solid particles which forms in the chamber as a result of centrifugal force when the chamber is rapidly rotated.
