ABSTRACT:
A cogeneration system which produces electrical power through the use of an augmented Brayton cycle is disclosed. A pressurized air stream from an industrial source, such as a petroleum refinery, is heated by indirect heat exchange against a turbine effluent stream and is then depressurized in a turbine which drives an electrical generator. Preferably, a high temperature gas stream which also is simultaneously depressurized in the same turbine is admixed into the heated air stream before the air stream enters the turbine. A portion of the air stream may be heated in a supplemental combustion zone rather than by heat exchange.
