20080256923 | MICRO REACTION TURBINE WITH INTEGRATED COMBUSTION CHAMBER AND ROTOR - A small scale apparatus for generating heat and power is presented which comprises a small rotary turbomachine, in such a manner that compression, heating and expansion of the working medium take place in a connected rotating component, with a diameter of less than 200 mm and which then has a rotational speed of higher than 50 000 revolutions per minute, the rotor completely or partially rotating in an atmosphere which is formed by the expanded gas or vapor. Additional characteristic features mentioned include a multistage compressor, intercooling of the working medium, recovery of residual heat (regeneration) from the expanded gases, external heating of the working medium and a procedure based on a two-phase substance as working medium. | 10-23-2008 |
