ABSTRACT:
This disclosure relates to apparatus for increasing the efficiency of a gas compressor plant by converting a portion of heat that is normally wasted into mechanical energy. The gas, when compressed, is heated due to the compression. The compressed and heated gas is passed through a cooler or heat exchanger where a portion of the heat of compression is transferred to a coolant. The heated coolant in turn is passed to a mechanical device where the heat energy is converted to useful mechanical energy.
