RECOVERING WATER AND/OR HEAT ENERGY FROM POWERPLANT COMBUSTION PRODUCTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240301819 titled 'RECOVERING WATER AND/OR HEAT ENERGY FROM POWERPLANT COMBUSTION PRODUCTS

The abstract describes a powerplant with a turbine engine core that powers a mechanical load. The core includes compressor, combustor, and turbine sections. A recovery system with a condenser and evaporator condenses water vapor into water and evaporates it into steam for the turbine engine core during different modes of operation.

  • The powerplant includes a turbine engine core with compressor, combustor, and turbine sections.
  • A recovery system with a condenser and evaporator is used to condense water vapor into water and evaporate it into steam.
  • The recovery system provides steam to the turbine engine core during one mode of operation and flows water through the evaporator during another mode.
  • The core flowpath extends through the compressor, combustor, turbine sections, evaporator, and condenser.
  • The system efficiently utilizes water vapor to generate power for the mechanical load.

Potential Applications: - Power generation plants - Industrial machinery - Marine propulsion systems

Problems Solved: - Efficient utilization of water vapor for power generation - Enhanced performance of turbine engine cores

Benefits: - Increased energy efficiency - Reduced environmental impact - Cost-effective power generation

Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Powerplant Technology for Enhanced Energy Efficiency" This technology can be applied in various industries such as power generation, manufacturing, and transportation, offering improved energy efficiency and reduced operational costs.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the recovery system improve the overall efficiency of the powerplant? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with implementing this technology in industrial applications?


Original Abstract Submitted

a powerplant includes a turbine engine core configured to power a mechanical load. the turbine engine core includes a core compressor section, a core combustor section and a core turbine section. a recovery system includes a condenser and an evaporator. a core flowpath extends sequentially through the core compressor section, the core combustor section, the core turbine section, the evaporator and the condenser from an inlet into the core flowpath to an exhaust from the core flowpath. the recovery system is configured to condense water vapor flowing through the core flowpath into water using the condenser. the recovery system is configured to evaporate the water into steam using the evaporator and to provide the steam to the turbine engine core during a first mode of operation. the recovery system is configured to flow the water through the evaporator during a second mode of operation.
