| 摘要 |
Hybrid combustion power systems comprising multiple direct energy conversion devices are disclosed, which devices (12, 14, 16) are preferably combined with a Rankine cycle containing a steam turbine (114), where combustion air (A) may be continuously preheated by an optional air heater (58), then by the waste heat of a low temperature direct energy conversion device (16) such as an alkali metal thermoelectric converter (AMTEC), and finally by the waste heat of a high temperature direct energy conversion device (12) such as an AMTEC, where the AMTECs include electrolyte (36) may include a condenser located in substantially the same geometrical plane as the AMTEC electrolyte (36) and thermally insulated from the electrolyte.
