abstract | The present invention is a multi-step process for generating energy from a source heat flow. Such process comprises passing a heated media comprising a mixture of a low volatility component and a high volatility component into a phase separator. The media is at a temperature and pressure adequate for the more volatile working fluid to be vaporized and separated from the remaining solution in the phase separator. The working fluid is characterized by boiling from said solution over a range of temperatures, and by direct contact condensing (or absorbtion) in said solution over a range of temperatures. The vapor pressure of the less volatile component over said boiling point range is very small so that essentially none is volatilized and separated in said phase separator. The vaporous working fluid is withdrawn from the phase separator and passed into a work zone, such as a turbine, wherein the fluid is expanded to a lower pressure and temperature to release energy. The expanded vaporous working fluid is withdrawn from the work zone and passed into a direct contact condenser or absorber. The separated weak solution (i.e. (depleted in its more volatile component and enriched in its less volatile component) is withdrawn from the phase separator and passed into counter-current heat-exchange relationship in an interchanger with a portion of media from said direct contact condenser. The heat-exchanged weak solution is withdrawn from the interchanger and passed into said direct contact condenser wherein it is contacted with the expanded vaporous working fluid for absorbing said working fluid into said weak solvent solution for forming said media. A coolant flow is passed into the direct contact condenser for absorbing heat from the contents therein. The cooled media is withdrawn from the direct contact condenser and passed into a fluid energy transport or pressurizing zone (e.g. a pump). A portion of the media then is pumped into said interchanger to establish said counter-current heat-exchange relationship with said separated weak solvent solution therein. The heated media withdrawn from the interchanger then is passed into counter-current heat-exchange relationship in a trim heater with a portion of said source heat flow. The remaining portion of the media from the fluid energy transport zone is pumped into counter-current heat-exchange relationship in a regenerator with the remaining portion of the source heat flow. The heated media flows from the trim heater and the regenerator are combined to form said heated media and the cycle repeated. |
