  • Patent number: 11448073
    Abstract: Accordingly, embodiments herein disclose a system (500) for controlling admission volume of an inlet gas for fixed RPM operation of in an apparatus. The system (500) has a boiler (502) for generating a steam at a higher pressure for heating application in a process. A pressure reducing valve (PRV) (504) controls a boiler pressure to process pressure. Inlet ports and exhaust ports are configured by intersection of opening on a rotor housing (614) and opening on a rotating valve. Inlet ports are configured so that a port opening duration can be controlled to admit required volume of a steam corresponding to a mass flow requirement of the process. A port capable of changing the area and timing of opening in such a way that the duration and starting of exhaust can be controlled.
