Abstract

Techniques for cogeneration of heat and power are disclosed. A cogeneration system includes: a conduit loop configured to carry a working fluid using a Rankine cycle; a valve system disposed along the conduit loop, including valves configured to manage flow of the working fluid through a chamber; a backflow vapor line disposed along the conduit loop, configured to direct working fluid in a gaseous state to the chamber, such that the working fluid in the gaseous state displaces working fluid in a liquid state in the chamber and the working fluid in the liquid state advances through the conduit loop without requiring a mechanical pump; and a heat exchanger disposed along the conduit loop, configured to extract heat from the working fluid and direct the heat to a practical use.

Abstract

A system for generating energy is disclosed. The system includes a container for storing a working fluid with a first inlet and an outlet. The system includes a condenser positioned vertically above the container with an inlet coupled to the outlet of the container and an outlet coupled to the inlet of the container. The system includes a pump fluidly coupled to the outlet of the container. The system further includes an evaporator to create a vapor of at least a portion of the working fluid. The system further includes a mechanical energy generator adapted to receive the working vapor from the evaporator. An exhaust outlet of the mechanical energy generator is fluidly coupled to a second inlet of the container positioned below a level of working fluid within the container. The system includes an electrical energy generator operatively coupled to an output of the mechanical energy generator.
