ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to power generation equipment and heat boosters, where a gaseous working fluid is compressed within a rotating rotor, heat is added or removed after such compression, and then the working fluid is expanded against centrifugal force within the rotor, and heat is again either added or removed from the working fluid. Where heat is added after the compression and heat removed after the expansion, the unit will be a power generator; where heat is removed after the compression and heat is added after the expansion, the unit will be a heat booster. Additionally, the unit may be provided with regeneration to exchange heat between the working fluid streams between such heat addition and heat removal. Working fluids that can be used are normally gaseous, and may be for example carbon monoxiode, or a halogenated hydrocarbon, or air.
