20220412230 · 2022-12-29 · ·

A bottoming cycle power system includes a turbo-expander operable to rotate a turbo-crankshaft as a flow of exhaust gas from a combustion process passes through the turbo-expander. A turbo-compressor is operable to compress the flow of exhaust gas after the exhaust gas passes through the turbo-expander. An open cycle absorption chiller system includes an absorber section operable to receive the flow of exhaust gas from the turbo-expander and to mix the flow of exhaust gas with a first refrigerant solution within the absorber section. The first refrigerant solution is operable to absorb water from the exhaust gas as the exhaust gas passes through the first refrigerant solution. The absorber section is operable to route the flow of exhaust gas to the turbo-compressor after the flow of exhaust gas has passed through the first refrigerant solution.

EXHAUST GAS PROCESSING SYSTEM AND METHOD

A system for removing dust from exhaust gas, comprising a dust removing system inlet, a dust removing system outlet, and an electric field apparatus (1021). The electric field apparatus (1021) comprises an electric field apparatus inlet, an electric field apparatus outlet, a dust-removing electric field cathode (10212) and a dust-removing electric field anode (10211). The dust-removing electric field cathode (10212) and the dust-removing electric field anode (10211) are used to generate an ionizing electric field for dust removal. When a certain amount of dust has accumulated on the electric field apparatus, the electric field apparatus performs a black carbon removal process, thereby avoiding a reduced electrode gap resulting from an increased thickness of black carbon.

Exhaust fluid collision type muffler

A muffler may include a thin plate mesh provided in an internal space of an inlet chamber formed at a side opposite to an outlet chamber of a muffler housing such that gas contained in exhaust fluid passes through the thin plate mesh by collision of the exhaust fluid against the thin plate mesh and water contained in the exhaust fluid is separated from the gas; a water movement guide fluidically-connected to the inlet chamber and the outlet chamber for allowing the water gathered at the front side of the thin plate mesh in the internal space of the inlet chamber to flow therein and move to the outlet chamber; and a muffler pipe connected to the inlet chamber and the outlet chamber for allowing the gas gathered at the rear side of the thin plate mesh in the internal space of the inlet chamber to move to the outlet chamber.
