Abstract
A heat recovery engine (5) including a compressor (15) to increase pressure, density and temperature of a gas stream flowing in a closed loop within the engine, with the gas stream at base system pressure (10) at a compressor inlet; an expander (30) to reduce the pressure of said gas stream when compressed to just above said base system pressure, at the same time receiving power from the gas stream; a recuperator (20) to transfer thermal energy from downstream gas stream of said expander (30) to downstream gas stream of said compressor (15), thereby increasing the temperature of said downstream gas stream of said compressor (15) at approximately constant pressure; a heater (25) to provide further heat energy to said gas stream at approximately constant pressure after exit from said recuperator (20); a heat source (40) and a means (45) for transferring heat energy from said heat source (40) to said heater (25); a cooler (35) to cool said gas stream prior to compression in said compressor; a heat energy transfer device to transfer heat from aid cooler (35) to the environment; an operability device to ensure the operation of said compressor and said expander, and to take off surplus power either mechanically or electrically; a plurality of insulated ducts to transfer said gas stream between said compressor (15), recuperator (20), heater (25), expander (30) and cooler (35).
