  • Heat recovery using organic rankine cycle
    Patent number: 9003796
    Abstract: A system includes a heat exchanger and an organic Rankine cycle system. The heat exchanger is configured to exchange heat between extraction air from a power block and nitrogen from an air separation unit. The organic Rankine cycle system is coupled to the heat exchanger. In addition, the organic Rankine cycle system is configured to convert heat from the extraction air into work.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 5, 2012
    Date of Patent: April 14, 2015
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Qiong Zhou, Deila Peng, Arnaldo Frydman, Thomas Glen Cobb
  • Gasifier cooling system with convective syngas cooler and quench chamber
    Patent number: 8951313
    Abstract: The present application thus provides a gasifier cooling system for cooling a flow of hot syngas from a gasifier. The gasifier cooling system may include a radiant syngas cooler, a quench chamber, and a convective syngas cooler such that the flow of syngas flows through the quench chamber or the convective syngas cooler.
