222 SOLAR THERMAL POWER GENERATION SYSTEM USING SINGLE HOT MOLTEN SALT THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE TANK US14404665 2013-10-31 US20160281689A1 2016-09-29 Jong Kyu KIM; Hwan Ki YOON; Youg Heack KANG; Hong Soo KIM; Sang Nam LEE
A single thermal energy storage tank is used so that costs can be reduced and an installation space can also be reduced compared to a case where two tanks, i.e., a high temperature tank and a low temperature tank are provided. In addition, the single thermal energy storage tank includes a porous block so that passage of molten salt can be more easily performed and flow pressure drop can be reduced. In addition, the porous block is configured by stacking a plurality of unit blocks so that the capacity of the single thermal energy storage tank can be easily adjusted. Furthermore, a plurality of single thermal energy storage tanks are connected in parallel so that the plurality of single thermal energy storage tanks can be selectively used according to an operation load and thus the solar thermal power generation system can easily cope with the operation load.
223 Thermo-acoustic reactor with non-thermal energy absorption in inert medium US14689146 2015-04-17 US09454955B1 2016-09-27 Constantin Tomoiu
An air, fuel, and inert fluid or liquid water mixture is injected into a resonance chamber forming micro-packets. The air and fuel mixture in the micro-packets form micro-explosions in a combustion chamber where acoustic and electromagnetic energy are absorbed by the inert fluid instead of thermal energy. A standing wave is created in the central resonance chamber by the micro-explosions. Interfering waves are in phase increasing energy in the air, fuel and water mixture. Acoustic energy is transferred from the hot combustion gases to the colder inert fluid or water. A thermal equilibrium is reached without substantial energy transfer from the hot body to the cold body. Efficient combustion is achieved with reduced carbon emissions. The heat generated from the combustion may be used to produce work by any conventional device, such as a steam engine or turbine or generate heat for a building.

226 Combined electricity, heat, and chill generation for a Rankine engine US14888084 2015-10-02 US20160258313A1 2016-09-08 Joseph Y. Hui
A generator uses a working fluid in a single-cycle Rankine engine for up to three purposes: generation of electricity; generation of hot water from heat exchanger; and generation of chill by the evaporation of liquefied working fluid. The working fluid, which may be carbon dioxide, goes through a single Rankine cycle for both heat engine and heat pump. Instead of using a pump to liquefy the working fluid, the working fluid experiences cryogenic liquefaction method under controlled pressure. The Hui turbine is used for electricity generation. Heat source for the combined heat pump and heat engine could come from concentrated solar power or from burning a fossil fuel.
227 Production of electric power from fossil fuel with almost zero air pollution US13999746 2014-03-19 US20160256818A1 2016-09-08 Eliot Gerber
The present system produces electrical power from burning coal or natural gas, with almost zero air pollution. In its lack of air pollution is similar to air and wind power, but less costly. Its power may be produced day and night and when the wind is not blowing. Its power is less costly than nuclear power, and without the possibility of radiation damage, melt down, and log-term radiation storage.The US tax law provides a $10 or $20 credit per ton CO2 for sequestration in “Secure geological storage”. See 26 USC §45Q. The estimated cost of this system's CO2 carbon capture is below that tax credit. The tax credit of $20/ton (large coal power station—800K tons of CO2) would generate a profit of millions of dollars.This system's capture cost for CO2 is about the same in gas or coal plants. However, coal plants generate about 3 times the CO2 tonnage of gas plants per unit of electric power. In one example, the system uses combined cycle gas turbine-steam units (CCGT) thermal efficiency of 50-60%. CCGT exhaust gas is relatively cool and clean, with almost no particulates, nitrogen oxide, or mercuryThe CO2 is separated from nitrogen (N2) using at least two cascaded stages of membrane separators. The permeance of the membranes of the first stage is at least 800 and preferably 2000-10,000. This permits low gas compression which saves the cost of larger compressors and electrical power. Also the area of the membranes are small due to their high permeance. The membranes of the second stage have a lower permeance with higher selectivity and higher pressure may be used. This does not add much to cost because the volume of gas separated is only 2-7% (gas) or 12-14% (coal) of the volume of CCGT exhaust gas. The over 90% pure separated CO2 is then compressed and sold or sequested in geological formations.

The hood may be extended and retracted based on a measured temperature of gas at an intake region of the hood. The module is transportable by truck trailer.
