ABSTRACT:
A power turbine system operating in an organic Rankine cycle with a thermodynamic medium flowing therethrough, including a power turbine (10) having an inlet connected to a conduit (50) and an exhaust (14), a lower temperature engine system having a heat engine, a circulating thermodynamic turbine medium flowing through the heat engine and producing rejected waste heat during engine system operation, a regenerative heat transfer device (6) for heating the turbine medium from the turbine exhaust (14) to produce liquid phase turbine medium at an elevated temperature, a pump (28) for pumping the liquid phase turbine medium at the elevated temperature as a first boiler feed return stream, a boiler feed return stream conduit (50) for conducting the boiler feed return stream to the turbine (10) through branch conduits (51, 52) and injectors (53, 54) and to pump (55) to boiler vessel (56) for heating the turbine medium to be fed to the turbine inlet. The injectors (53, 54) are positioned along the turbine cycle between successive stages and are controlled by controlling the mass flow of the injected liquid phase turbine medium therethrough into the turbine (10) for effecting a selected vapor quality of the resulting mixture. The turbine medium is a thermodynamic medium such as isopentane having a tendancy to diverge toward the superheated region from the saturation curve thereof during isentropic expansion of the vapor thereof across the pressure gradient traversed by the turbine cycle.
