ABSTRACT:
A waste heat recovery system is provided where a waste heat source is utilized to vaporize a working fluid which in turn powers a turbine to generate power in a heat engine. A heat exhanger is placed between a waste heat source in an industrial process and an evaporator. The evaporator is connected to a turbine chamber further connected to a multi-chambered condensation unit. Each chamber of the multi-chambered condensation unit has a valved inlet port and a valved outlet port. The valved inlet ports of each chamber of the multi-chambered condensation unit are connected to the turbine chamber outlet. The multi-chamber condensation unit includes a number of condensation chambers, each chamber including a plurality of computer controlled valves. The condesation chambers are sequentially evacuated causing the vapor to be drawn through the turbine and brought into the condensation chambers one at a time. A reservoir is provided which collects the condensate where it is pumped back to the evaporator. May be easily retrofitted into waste heat disposal systems of many industrial processes to permit reclaimation of that heat.
