  • Patent number: 7971424
    Abstract: A high-efficiency heat cycle system including a compressor, a first turbine, first and second heat exchangers 7 and 8, a first pump, and an expander, and a composite heat cycle power generator using the high-efficiency heat cycle system. Working gas Fg compressed in the compressor (C) drives a first turbine (S) and is thereafter cooled by passing through a heat dissipating side of a first heat exchanger (7) and then raised in pressure by a first pump (P) to form high-pressure working liquid Fe, the high-pressure working liquid is expanded and evaporated in an expander (K) to form working gas Fg, said working gas Fg is heated by passing through a heat receiving side 82 of the second heat exchanger before being introduced into the compressor C. A heat dissipating side 81 of the second heat exchanger comprises a heat dissipating portion of a refrigerating machine or a heat dissipating portion for waste heat from a heating machine.

  • Patent number: 7658072
    Abstract: A high-efficient heat cycle device formed by combining a heat engine with a refrigerating machine, wherein steam generated in a boiler is cooled by a condenser after driving turbine, built up by a pump, and circulated into the boiler in the form of high-pressure condensate. Refrigerant gas compressed by a compressor is passed through the radiating side of a heat exchanger for cooling after driving the turbine to output a work, and built up by a pump to form high-pressure refrigerant liquid. The high-pressure refrigerant liquid drives a reaction water-turbine to output a work and is expanded and vaporized to form refrigerant gas. The refrigerant gas is led into the compressor after being passed through the heat absorbing side of the heat exchanger and the condenser for heating.

  • Publication number: 20080028766
    Abstract: A high-efficient heat cycle device formed by combining a heat engine (A) with a refrigerating machine (J), wherein steam (Eg) generated in a boiler (B) is cooled by a condenser (Y1) after driving turbine (S2), built up by a pump (P2), and circulated into the boiler (B) in the form of high-pressure condensate. Refrigerant gas (Fg) compressed by a compressor (C) is passed through the radiating side of a heat exchanger (7) for cooling after driving the turbine (S) to output a work (W1), and built up by a pump (P1) to form high-pressure refrigerant liquid. The high-pressure refrigerant liquid drives a reaction water-turbine (K) to output a work (W2) and is expanded and vaporized to form refrigerant gas. The refrigerant gas is led into the compressor (C) after being passed through the heat absorbing side of the heat exchanger (7) and the condenser (Y1) for heating.
