Power Generation By Solar/Pneumatic Cogeneration In A Large, Natural Or Man-Made, Open Pit

View page
US Patent:
20050150225, Jul 14, 2005
Filed:
Jan 8, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/752506
Inventors:
Jonathan Gwiazda - Boston MA, US
Francis DiBella - Roslindale MA, US
International Classification:
F03G007/00
F01K027/00
US Classification:
060641100
Abstract:
This patent describes a method for power generation combining a solar concentrator and a pneumatic power tube system. Solar energy is concentrated to solar thermal receivers by a plurality of heliostat mirrors placed along the embankment of an open pit mine. The air in the pneumatic tubes is heated by direct and/or waste heat energy recovered from a solar power system and/or from a variety of sources. The invention is novel in its integration of a solar powered heat engine and a modular design, pneumatic power tube wherein a means of structural support for the tube(s) can be provided by the geophysical surroundings. The novel design features of the power tube pit include: its use of state-of-the art wind turbine power recovery, solar reflective surfaces for solar energy collection, heat pipe arrays for ground source heat recovery and air diffuser subsystems for enhanced wind turbine efficiency.

International Classification:
F02C 7/143
G05D 7/06
F01D 15/12
F04D 29/046
F04B 3/00
US Classification:
60806, 416174, 417244, 4151221, 700282
Abstract:
Hydrogen gas compression systems that each include a multistage centrifugal compressor in which each stage has an inlet-to-outlet pressure rise ratio of about 1.20 or greater. In one embodiment, the multistage compressor includes six high-speed centrifugal compressors driven at a speed of about 60,000 rpm. The compressor has an output of more than 200,000 kg/day at a pressure of more than 1,000 psig. The compressors for the compression stages are distributed on both sides of a common gear-box, which has gearing that allows axial thrusts from the compressors to be handled effectively. Each stage's compressor has a unique impeller, which is secured to a support shaft using a tension-rod-based attachment system. In another embodiment, the multistage compressor is driven by a combustion turbine and one or more intercoolers are provided between compression stages. Each intercooler is cooled by coolant from an absorption chiller utilizing exhaust gas from the combustion turbine.

Turbomachinery Having Self-Articulating Blades, Shutter Valve, Partial-Admission Shutters, And/Or Variable-Pitch Inlet Nozzles

US Patent:
20130145753, Jun 13, 2013
Filed:
Feb 17, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/399604
Inventors:
Frederick E. Becker - Reading MA, US
Francis A. DiBella - Roslindale MA, US
Kevin D. Fairman - Lunenburg MA, US
Alexander Gofer - Hanover NH, US
Assignee:
Concepts ETI, Inc. - Wilder VT
International Classification:
F01D 7/00
F01D 17/16
US Classification:
60327, 416117, 415147, 415 17, 60330
Abstract:
An axial-flow turbine assembly that includes one or more features for enhancing the efficiency of the turbine's operation. In one embodiment, the turbine assembly includes a turbine rotor having blades that adjust their pitch angle in direct response to working fluid pressure on the blades themselves or other part(s) of the rotor. In other embodiments, the turbine assembly is deployable in an application, such as an oscillating water column system, in which the flow of working fluid varies over time, for example, as pressure driving the flow changes. In a first of these embodiments, the turbine assembly includes a valve that allows the pressure to build so that the flow is optimized for the turbine's operating parameters. In a second of these embodiments, one or more variable-admission nozzle and shutter assemblies are provided to control the flow through the turbine to optimize the flow relative to the turbine's operating parameters.

Variable-Volume Storage And Dispensing Apparatus For Compressed Natural Gas

View page
US Patent:
54544084, Oct 3, 1995
Filed:
Aug 11, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/105869
Inventors:
Francis A. DiBella - Roslindale MA
Michael D. Koplow - Woburn MA
Richard Mastronardi - Medfield MA
Assignee:
Thermo Power Corporation - MA
International Classification:
F17C 1302
US Classification:
141197
Abstract:
A variable-volume compressed natural gas ("CNG") storage vessel connected to a line supplying pressurized natural gas is described. The vessel connects to a dispensing station having a connection head--a fitting that allows a vehicle tank quickly and easily to be interconnected with and disconnected from the dispensing station. When a vehicle tank is being filled, or alternatively when a storage vessel is being replenished from the gas supply line, a controller responds to the pressure within the storage vessel to vary the volume of that vessel.

Steam Atmosphere Drying Exhaust Steam Recompression System

View page
US Patent:
52916685, Mar 8, 1994
Filed:
Apr 3, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/863435
Inventors:
Frederick E. Becker - Reading MA
Leo A. Smolensky - Concord MA
Edward F. Doyle - Dedham MA
Francis A. DiBella - Roslindale MA
Assignee:
Tecogen, Inc. - Waltham MA
International Classification:
F26B 1900
US Classification:
34 86
Abstract:
This invention relates to a heated steam atmosphere drying system comprising dryer in combination with an exhaust recompression system which is extremely energy efficient and eliminates dangers known to air dryers. The system uses superheated steam as the drying medium, which recirculated through the system where its heat of evaporation and heat of compression is recovered, thereby providing a constant source of heat to the drying chamber. The dryer has inlets whereby feedstock and superheated steam are fed therein. High heat transfer and drying rates are achieved by intimate contact of the superheated steam with the particles being dried The dryer comprises a vessel which enables the feedstock and steam to enter recirculate together. When the feedstock becomes dry it will exit the dryer with the steam and become separated from the steam through the use of a curvilinear louver separator (CLS). The CLS enables removal of fine and ultrafine particles from the dryer.

Nonuniform Regeneration System For Desiccant Bed

View page
US Patent:
47297743, Mar 8, 1988
Filed:
Mar 10, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/837941
Inventors:
Barry M. Cohen - Newton Centre MA
Robert K. Collier - Cove Creek AZ
Andy H. Levine - Boston MA
Francis A. DiBella - Roslindale MA
Assignee:
Gas Research Institute - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B01D 5306
US Classification:
55181
Abstract:
Profiling the temperatures in the regeneration airstream for a desiccant bed yields higher thermal efficiency. In staged regeneration, distinct heating elements are thermostatically controlled to attain progressively higher temperatures toward the hotter end of the bed. Stratified heat recovery can be used to transfer heat from process air from zones on the process side to regeneration airstreams headed for thermally corresponding zones on the regeneration side of the desiccant bed. A recirculation system diverts process air from the hottest process zone or zones directly to the hottest corresponding zone or zones on the regeneration side.

Integrated Mechanical Vapor Recompression Apparatus And Process For The Cogeneration Of Electric And Water-Based Power Having A Recirculation Control System For Part-Load Capacity

View page
US Patent:
47335360, Mar 29, 1988
Filed:
Sep 17, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/097251
Inventors:
Francis A. DiBella - Roslindale MA
Frederick E. Becker - Reading MA
John C. Balsavich - Foxboro MA
Assignee:
Gas Research Institute - Chicago IL
International Classification:
F01K 2310
US Classification:
60618
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and apparatus for selectively generating different amounts of electric power and high pressure steam power according to the user's needs, using a fluid-cooled engine and a dual-function screw machine that may be operated as either a compressor or an expander. Fluid from a cooling jacket fluid is separated into vapor and liquid portions and, to increase the amount of high pressure steam delivered by the apparatus, low pressure steam from a separator is compressed by the screw machine and liquid from the separator is heated to a high temperature and high pressure. When additional electric power is desired, the low pressure steam from the separator is diverted from the screw machine. High pressure steam, manufactured by compressing and heating the liquid of the separator, is expanded in the screw machine, which adds its power to the main drive shaft, thereby adding to the available electric power. Various combinations of amounts of electric power and steam power are possible by controlling the amounts of material presented to the screw machine as either a compressor or an expander.
