Abstract: A turbine- generator device for use in electricity generation using heat from industrial processes, renewable energy sources and other sources. The generator may be cooled by introducing into the gap between the rotor and stator liquid that is vaporized or atomized prior to introduction, which liquid is condensed from gases exhausted from the turbine. The turbine has a universal design and so may be relatively easily modified for use in connection with generators having a rated power output in the range of 50KW to 5MW. Such modifications are achieved, in part, through use of a modular turbine cartridge built up of discrete rotor and stator plates sized for the desired application with turbine brush seals chosen to accommodate radial rotor movements from the supported generator. The cartridge may be installed and removed from the turbine relatively easily for maintenance or rebuilding. The rotor housing is designed to be relatively easily machined to dimensions that meet desired operating parameters.

Abstract translation: 一种涡轮发电装置，用于使用来自工业过程，可再生能源和其他来源的热量的发电。 可以通过将引入到在引入之前被蒸发或雾化的转子和定子液体之间的间隙中来冷却发生器，该液体从从涡轮排出的气体冷凝。 涡轮机具有通用设计，因此可以相对容易地修改以用于额定功率输出在50KW至5MW范围内的发电机。 这样的修改部分地通过使用由离散的转子和定子板构成的模块化的涡轮机盒来实现，所述分立的转子和定子板的尺寸用于期望的应用，其中涡轮刷的密封被选择以适应来自所支撑的发电机的径向转子运动。 可以相对容易地将容器安装和拆除，以进行维护或重建。 转子壳体被设计成相对容易地加工成符合期望的操作参数的尺寸。

Abstract: Hydrogen gas compression systems that each include a multistage centrifugal compressor in which each stage has an inlet-to-outlet pressure rise ratio of about 1.20 or greater. In one embodiment, the multistage compressor includes six high-speed centrifugal compressors driven at a speed of about 60,000 rpm. The compressor has an output of more than 200,000 kg/day at a pressure of more than 1,000 psig. The compressors for the compression stages are distributed on both sides of a common gearbox, which has gearing that allows axial thrusts from the compressors to be handled effectively. Each stage's compressor has a unique impeller, which is secured to a support shaft using a tension- rod-based attachment system. In another embodiment, the multistage compressor is driven by a combustion turbine and one or more intercoolers are provided between compression stages. Each intercooler is cooled by coolant from an absorption chiller utilizing exhaust gas from the combustion turbine.
