Modular High-Performance Turbo-Compression Cooling

A system for turbo-compression cooling in a facility having a cooling loop and a generator having a plurality of waste heat streams, the system comprising:

• a power cycle comprising:
• a first working fluid;
• a waste heat boiler configured to evaporate the working fluid, the waste heat boiler configured to receive waste heat from one or more of the plurality of waste heat streams from the generator;
• a turbine configured to receive the evaporated first working fluid from the waste heat boiler, the turbine having a plurality of vanes disposed around a central shaft and configured to rotate about the central shaft, the plurality of vanes configured to rotate as the first working fluid expands to a lower pressure;
• and
• a first evaporative condenser configured to receive the first working fluid from the turbine and configured to condense the first working fluid to a saturated or subcooled liquid;
• a cooling cycle comprising:
• a second working fluid;
• a first compressor configured to increase the pressure of the second working fluid;
• a second evaporative condenser configured to receive the second working fluid from the first compressor and configured to condense the second working fluid to a saturated or subcooled liquid;
• an expansion valve configured to receive the second working fluid from said evaporative condenser and configured to expand the second working fluid to a lower pressure;
• an evaporator configured to receive the second working fluid from the expansion valve and configured to reject heat from a circulating fluid to the second working fluid, thereby cooling the circulating fluid;
• and
• wherein the turbine and first compressor are coupled to the other, thereby coupling the power cycle and the cooling cycle.
