  • Patent number: 9031705
    Abstract: A Kalina Cycle control system monitors one or more operating parameters of the Kalina Cycle. The system calculates one or more optimal operating parameters that allow the Kalina Cycle to operate at an increased efficiency. The system automatically adjusts the one or more actual operating parameters to the optimal parameters to increase the efficiency of the Kalina Cycle. Methods of increasing the efficiency of a Kalina Cycle include automatically adjusting one or more operating parameters to an optimal configuration.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 28, 2012
    Date of Patent: May 12, 2015
    Assignee: Recurrent Engineering, LLC
    Inventors: Henry A Mlcak, Mark D Mirolli, Yakov Lerner

  • Patent number: 8517129
    Abstract: A drive system using multi-fuel engines to provide mechanical energy as an electric generator. The electric generator provides electrical energy to an electric motor which in turn provides mechanical energy to drive a load. The electric generator also provides electric energy to storage batteries. Electrical energy may be provided from the storage batteries to the electric motor as needed.
