Abstract
A heat recovery system includes a source of waste heat, and a refrigeration system operatively connected to the source of waste heat. The refrigeration system is capable of extracting heat rejected from the source of waste heat to form a cooling medium.
Claims12
A heat recovery system comprising:
- a steam turbine having source of waste heat;
- and
- a vapor absorption refrigeration system operatively connected to the source of waste heat, the refrigeration system being capable of extracting heat rejected from the source of heat to form a cooling medium.
A method of operating a heat recovery system comprising:
- passing a heat exchange medium through a waste heat source operatively associated with a steam turbine;
- extracting heat from the waste heat source into the heat exchange medium;
- directing the heat exchange medium through to a vapor absorption refrigeration system;
- and
- extracting the heat from the heat exchange medium to produce a cooling medium.
