CONTROLLING ADMISSION VOLUME OF INLET GAS FOR FIXED RPM OPERATION OF ROTARY OR RECIPROCATING EXPANDER
Accordingly, embodiments herein disclose a system (500) for controlling admission volume of an inlet gas for fixed RPM operation of in an apparatus. The system (500) has a boiler (502) for generating a steam at a higher pressure for heating application in a process. A pressure reducing valve (PRV) (504) controls a boiler pressure to process pressure. Inlet ports and exhaust ports are configured by intersection of opening on a rotor housing (614) and opening on a rotating valve. The inlet ports are designed in such a way that a port opening duration can be controlled to admit required volume of a steam corresponding to a mass flow requirement of the process. A port capable of changing the area and timing of opening in such a way that the duration and starting of exhaust can be controlled.

ROTARY STEAM MOTOR
Provided herein is a rotary steam motor comprising an inlet assembly, a rotor assembly, and an exhaust assembly. The inlet assembly includes an inlet port and an inlet housing, the inlet port being configured to allow steam to enter the inlet housing. The rotor assembly includes a rotor having a plurality of vane slots, a support shaft, and a plurality of vanes, wherein the support shaft is configured to rotate with the rotor, and each vane is configured to slidably engage within a respective vane slot. The exhaust assembly includes an exhaust port and an exhaust housing, the exhaust port being configured to allow steam to exit the exhaust housing. The rotary steam engine further comprises a variable duration throttle assembly, wherein the variable duration throttle assembly is configured to regulate the flow of steam into the rotor assembly from the inlet assembly.
Pump assembly and method for evacuating a vapor-filled chamber
The invention relates to an assembly comprising a vacuum pump and a chamber, wherein a suction tract extends between the chamber and the vacuum pump. The vacuum pump is a liquid ring machine. According to the invention, a liquid outlet is arranged in the suction tract in order to add liquid to gas sucked in from the chamber. The invention further relates to a method for evacuating a chamber filled with vapor. According to the invention, the vapor is condensed by introducing additional liquid into the suction tract, thus by co-condensation. By supplying liquid selectively only when liquid is required for the condensation of the vapor, water is saved.
