Patent number: 12714970Abstract: Combustion systems are provided that can include a combustion assembly operatively engaged with an air intake, wherein the air intake performs air enrichment. Methods for enriching air to a combustion assembly are also provided. The methods can include: forming an N2-rich stream and an O2-rich stream from a first air stream; supplementing a second air stream with the O2-rich stream to enrich the second air stream with O2; and combusting the enriched air stream. Systems for separating CO2 from flue gas are also provided. The systems can include a vortex tube assembly operably coupled to a component of the system that provides pressurized N2. Methods for heating or cooling components of a system for separating CO2 from flue gas are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2023Date of Patent: August 25, 2026Assignee: CARBONQUEST, INC.Inventors: William A.

Publication number: 20250044022Abstract: Systems for separating CO2 from a flue gas source are provided. The systems can include a liquefaction component operatively coupled to the separation component and comprising a recuperative heat exchanger configured to receive the separated CO2 from the separation component and reduce the temperature of the separated CO2 by exchanging the heat of the separated CO2 with CO2 vapor generated by the liquefaction component and/or a storage component operatively coupled to the liquefaction component and configured to receive liquid CO2 from the liquefaction component. Methods for separating CO2 from a flue gas source are provided. The methods can include liquefying the CO2 stream to form both CO2 liquid and CO2 vapor; and using at least a portion of the CO2 vapor to form the CO2 liquid during the liquefying.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2024Publication date: February 6, 2025Applicant: CARBONQUEST, INC.Inventors: William A. Fuglevand, Shane Johnson, Donald Francis Gongaware
