Steam produced by exhaust gas heat exchanger drives turbo-compressor of conventional diesel engine to improve performance and efficiency

摘要

Exhaust gas is cooled in the heat exchanger (2) to create steam. This expands in the turbine (4) to drive the air compressor (5). Compressed air passes via a cooler to a conventional diesel engine (1). From the turbine, saturated steam is condensed (3). The engine-driven pump (6) pumps the water back to the heat exchanger.
