ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for implementing a thermodynamic cycle with intercooling, includes a condensing subsystem, a boiler, and a turbine. The boiler may include a preheater, an evaporator, and a superheater. After initial expansion in the turbine, the fluid may be diverted to a reheater to increase the temperature available for superheating. After return to the turbine and additional expansion, the fluid may be withdrawn from the turbine and cooled in an intercooler. Thereafter the fluid is returned to the turbine for additional expansion. The cooling of the turbine gas may provide additional heat for evaporation. Intercooling may provide compensation for the heat used in reheating and may provide recuperation of available heat which would otherwise remain unused following final turbine expansion.
