Abstract
A hot exhaust heat recovery system comprising, in combination a chamber having inlet and outlet porting for flow through of hot exhaust gas, in the chamber interior, separate heat exchanger structures in separate sequential segments said chamber interior, to receive heat transferred from said exhaust gas, said structures receiving pressurized liquid for flow in different paths there-through, to develop vapor streams at different pressures and temperatures without use of boiler drums, the structures having outlets to communicate with a vapor driven turbine or turbines having inlet ports at different inlet fluid pressure zones.
Claims15
A hot exhaust heat recovery system comprising, in combination
- a) means for forming a chamber having inlet and outlet porting for flow through of hot exhaust gas, in the chamber interior,
- b) separate heat exchanger structures in said chamber interior, to receive heat transferred from the exhaust gas, said structures provided means for receiving pressurized liquid for flow in different paths there-through, and developing vapor streams at different pressures and temperatures without use of boiler drums, said structures having different sizes in the chamber interior and have undulant passages therein,
- c) the structures having outlets to communicate with a vapor driven turbine or turbines having inlet ports at different inlet fluid pressure zones.
The hot exhaust heat recovery system comprising, in combination
- a) means for forming a chamber having inlet and outlet porting for flow through of hot exhaust gas, in the chamber interior,
- b) separate heat exchanger structures in said chamber interior, to receive heat transferred from the exhaust gas, said structures providing means for receiving pressurized liquid for flow in different paths there-through, and developing vapor streams at different pressures and temperatures without use of boiler drums,
- c) the structures having outlets to communicate with a vapor driving turbine or turbines having inlet ports at different inlet fluid pressure zones,
- d) and wherein said structures are located to each intercept a different fraction of the hot gas stream to provide the required heat to produce required conditions into the exits of the structures.
A hot exhaust heat recovery system comprising in combination
- a) means for forming a chamber having inlet and outlet porting for flow through of hot exhaust gas, in the chamber interior,
- b) separate heat exchanger structures in said chamber interior, to receive heat transferred from the exhaust gas, said structures providing means for received pressurized liquid for flow in different paths there-through, and developing vapor streams at different pressures and temperatures without use of boiler drums,
- c) the structures having outlets to communicate with a vapor driven turbine or turbines having inlet ports at different inlet fluid pressure zones,
- c) and wherein said structures extend generally longitudinally in the chamber, and each intercepting a different fraction of the hot exhaust gas.
A hot exhaust heat recovery system comprising, in combination
- a) means for forming a chamber having inlet and chamber interior,
- b) separate heat exchanger structures in said chamber interior, to receive heat transferred from the exhaust gas, said structures providing means for receiving pressurized liquid for flow in different paths there-through, and developing vapor streams at different pressures and temperatures without use of boiler drums,
- c) the structures having outlets to communicate with a vapor driven turbine or turbines having inlet ports at different inlet fluid pressure zones,
- d) and wherein said structures have different longitudinal lengths and widths, in said chamber interior, and have coils along their lengths.
A hot exhaust gas heat recovery system comprising, in combination
- a) a structure forming a chamber having inlet and outlet porting for flow through of hot exhaust gas, in the chamber interior,
- b) separate heat exchanger structures in separate zones which are sequential in the direction of flow of the exhaust gases, said heat exchanger structures receiving liquid or vapor for flow in different paths there-through, to develop vapor streams at different pressures and temperatures without use of boiler drums,
- c) wherein said heat exchanger structures are located to each intercept a different fraction of the hot gas stream to provide the required heat to produce the required condition at the exist of the heat exchanger structures,
- d) wherein said heat exchanger structures have outlets to communicate with a vapor driven turbine or turbines having inlet ports requiring different inlet fluid pressures wherein said inlet fluid pressures are at successively lower pressures corresponding to the pressures produced by the separate heat exchanger structures.
