Abstract
A combined heat, cooling and power system is configured to generate energy as well capture a large percentage of energy that would otherwise be lost using components, including heat transfer components, embedded within a vessel to transfer energy in the form of heat to liquid within the vessel.
Claims20
A combined heat, cooling and power system comprising:
- an energy generation sub-system comprising,
- a replaceable engine connected to a plurality of generators and a turbo-generator, the sub-system operable to generate electricity and exhaust gases, and provide energy to an energy storage sub-system, and
- a vessel for storing liquid, the liquid heated by waste heat from the engine;
- an energy distribution sub-system comprising,
- coils operable to circulate heated coolant received from the energy generation sub-system, and,
- fans operable to direct air over the coils to heat the directed air, and operable to distribute the heated air;
- and
- an energy storage sub-system operable to receive and store the energy from the energy generation sub-system.
