ABSTRACT:
Low pressure steam generated by a solar collector is compressed to raise its temperature and pressure. The compressor is driven by an engine which is, in turn, driven by a combustible fuel. Shaft work produced from the fuel is used directly to drive the compressor. The energy available from the steam is the sum of that resulting from both solar energy and combustion of fuel. The total amount of steam produced per Btu of heat generated by fuel input to the engine is substantially greater than the amount of steam that would be produced directly by combustion of the fuel.
