POWER GENERATION SYSTEM USING CLOSED OR SEMI-CLOSED BRAYTON CYCLE RECUPERATOR

摘要

A power generation system includes a turbine having an outlet. A high temperature recuperator has an inlet and is connected to the turbine outlet. A low temperature recuperator is connected to the high temperature recuperator. Each of the high and low temperature recuperators include a plurality of matrix panels interconnected together that define hot fluid channels and cold fluid channels arranged adjacent to each other in a counterflow and stair-step configuration. A compressor is connected to the low temperature recuperator and turbine.
