摘要： A single-fluid two-phase turbine expander is employed in a compression-expansion refrigeration system. The turbine expander has its rotor mechanically coupled to the drive train of the associated refrigeration compressor, which can be a high-speed centrifugal compressor or a geared screw compressor. The turbine is a straight-forward design, with a rotor disk having peripheral vanes, and a nozzle block that houses the disk and contains a group of nozzles that are directed at the vanes. The nozzles each have an inlet orifice plate and a converging/diverging internal geometry that permits supersonic discharge. The vanes are shaped for impulse reaction and have a sharp exit bend to prevent further flashing of the two-phase mixture in the rotor.

摘要： A device is provided having a fermentation chamber having one or more inlets to receive a mixed stream to be fermented and an outlet to release fermented product; a distillation vessel surrounding the fermentation chamber having communication with the fermentation chamber outlet to receive fermented product to be distilled and a turbine located within the outlet of the fermentation chamber, the turbine having a rotor rotatable by force of flow of fermented product from the fermentation chamber to the distillation vessel, to generate electricity. A sidewall common to both the fermentation chamber and distillation vessel allows for heat transfer of heat generated from fermentation to the distillation vessel to heat the product to be distilled. A method of fermenting and distilling a product is also provided. The method involves receiving in a fermentation chamber a mixed stream to be fermented; transferring heat energy generated by fermentation to a distillation vessel surrounding the fermentation chamber; allowing pressurized fermented product to flow from the fermentation chamber into the distillation vessel via a turbine and rotating a rotor of the turbine by a force of flow of the fermented product to the distiller to generate electricity.

摘要： A steam-assisted gravity drive system is provided. The steam-assisted gravity drive system has a series of repeating steam chambers separated by inner baffles, wherein the series of repeating steam chambers define a circular loop about a hub. The steam-assisted gravity drive system with the addition of a heat source is adapted to unidirectionally change steam from one steam chamber to spraying condensation flowing into an adjacent steam chamber. Thereby, the steam-assisted gravity drive system generates force through this unidirectional transfer of the fluid throughout the loop of steam chambers so that the loop rotates about its hub under the further influence of gravity, wherein the hub can be attached to a mechanism for applying rotation force thereto.

摘要： An ammonia expander in a liquefaction process, the ammonia expander reducing the resulting vapor from the liquid ammonia expansion and increasing the percentage of both the feed gas input and the process output. Embodiments of the ammonia expander comprise a radial inflow reaction turbine with an induction generator mounted on a generator shaft and a turbine mounted on a turbine shaft, the turbine submerged in the liquid ammonia. The turbine extracts torque from the liquid ammonia as it flows through the turbine. The torque from the turbine is transferred from the turbine shaft to the generator shaft, allowing for energy to be extracted from the liquid ammonia stream.
