Abstract: The preferred embodiment of the disclosed condensing turbine is characterized by its tolerance to fully condensing working fluid vapor and a unique geometry that uses a naturally developed centrifugal force, generated by the working fluid, along with an integral positive displacement pump, to return the working fluid to a vapor generator in a high pressure liquid state. Thus, with the working fluid exiting the turbine in a highly pressurized liquid state rather than a low pressure vapor state, the requirement for a conventional condenser, condensate pump and boiler feed pump is eliminated. This unique combination of turbine and positive displacement pump, exemplified by the present invention, allow the closed-loop vapor cycle turbine engine to become very compact and, thus, practical for automotive and aerospace use.
