ABSTRACT:
A method and means for economically producing boiling hot condensate plus mechanical energy from spent steam whereby energy waste and thermal pollution from power stations is greatly lessened. Herein, a combination abentropic engine and hot condenser is interposed between the main turbine exhaust port and a vacuum condenser for the purpose of making the steam do work and thus bringing about condensation at its boiling point. Since the latent energy of spent steam is enthalpic as well as thermic by nature, its extraction as mechanical energy greatly lessens heat release upon condensation.
The mechanical work produced by such an engine depends not upon expansion, as in a main turbine, but upon continuous force exerted by vapor pressure operating on one side of a piston having a vacuum on the other. The pressure is maintained by the operation of Dalton's Law - that vapor pressure depends on temperature alone and not upon volume. The temperature is maintained by the balanced heat release upon condensation.
