Abstract: A waste heat recovery system including a drive unit, the drive unit having a drive shaft, a compressor, the compressor operably coupled to the drive shaft, wherein operation of the drive unit drives the compressor, and a waste heat recovery cycle, the waste heat recovery cycle coupled to the drive unit and the compressor, wherein a waste heat of the drive unit powers the waste heat recovery cycle, such that the waste heat recovery cycle transmits a mechanical power to the compressor, is provided. Furthermore, an associated method is also provided.
Abstract: Combining at least one centrifugal compression stage and at least one positive displacement compression stage in an integrally geared compressor to allow for different types of compression based on a temperature or a volume of gas to be compressed by the integrally geared compressor.
