<p>Apparatus with compressor/turbine unit for providing clean hot air and/or electric power. In the combustion cycle, combustible is burned in a combustor. The hot exhaust gases provide heat to a process air cycle via a heat exchanger. Remaining thermal energy can be discharged by an 'air-atmospheric air heat exchanger'. In the process air cycle, cold air flows through a compressor, is heated via the above mentioned heat exchanger and after this expands in a turbine. Turbine and compressor are coupled together on a single shaft. The remaining pressure of the air stream propels an air motor that drives a fan and a generator unit to produce electric energy. The fan mixes hot process air and cold secondary air and provides the mixed air to any place where it is used. Instead of the fan an ejector can be used.</p> |
